| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 Have you considered any of the VAC preamps? | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? In the early 2000's as I was making my way into Higher End Audio I replaced my OHM Walsh 4's with a pair of Unity Audio Fountainhead Signatures and they really moved me. I used a Musical Design 100 WPC Amp with them. I kept those until a few years... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @ozzy62 For me I am connected via AES/EBU from a CEC TL1x CD transport and via Coax from a dedicated streamer Cambridge CXN V2. ( Orchid AES/EBU and Illuminations D60 coax.) | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II I have the Venus II and a Hermes combination. I use the Tubulus Argentus I2s between them. I cannot comment on the comparison between then Pontus II and Venus II as I have never compared them. I have removed the Hermes from the system when doing s... | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Thanks, my issue is that I need 2 matched quads ( 8 total tubes) for my VAC Ren 70/70 amp so if I can find something good and reasonable that would be great. There are also different levels of the Psvane 300 B's. Anyone try the Gold Lion PX300B? | |
| Noisy Right Channel Upscale Audio sells tubes. | |
| Jays CD2- Mk3 CDT vrs CEC-TL5 CDT I have a CEC TL-1x that at one time was Stereophile A rated, still seems to be good to me but I have no idea how it compares to the newer CEC. It weights 39 pounds, it's built well. Just had the belt replaced and it still works perfectly. | |

| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Mine is rather simple too. I run Router-> 6 inch CAT8->switch->Cat 8 30 ft long to ENO-> Streamer. Thinking of placing iFi LPS on the switch. I need the switch to service both floors of the house | |
| Chris' latest cables. Apparently everyone knows who Chris is except me. | |
| 2 channel DSP? THANK YOU! | |
| 2 channel DSP? @erik_squires Will the DDRC 22D be all I need for 2 digital sources (SPDIF and AESEBU) to make room corrections? Not sure I can figure out how to manually make adjustments after running REW. Thought I could lean on Dirac to make it easy. Thank y... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? @arcticdeth They are going directly back to Kevin Hayes at VAC in Sarasota FL. Where they were built. | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today @deludedaudiophile Do you have any sound reason for why so many people like these? Any science behind it or are we mad, delusional or deaf? Are we wrong in your opinion? You are dead set against these cables because you have calculations, reason... | |
| Keep Vintage or sell for new I was pondering this same sort of situation. (Read the thread on timeless amp question in this forum) My Amp and preamp 20 years ago were around $25K MSRP. So as you, I wondered if there had been advancements to encourage me to replace them or bri... |
