| Tubes or not Audio Mirror Tubadour, Border Patrol Dac SEI, MHDT Orchid. These three dacs seem to be the go to tubed dacs in your price range. The Border Patrol only uses the tube in the power supply, the others in the out put stage. Preowned Lampizator Amber w... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? If you don’t believe in usb cable effects and differences, please don’t read this post...the FTA Final Touch Audio Callisto is exceptional and, in the cable world, not at a crazy price. | |
| Music Server Recommendation @mitch2 Thanks for posting the link. I haven't used one but is anyone else curious why 6moons/Srajan uses an all in one 27' iMac as his server/source? I can't imagine that having the monitor, cpu, a hard drive, ethernet, etc etc built in makes for... | |
| Music Server Recommendation While @hehaw77 is entitled to his/her opinion just like everyone else on this forum, that opinion is suspect based on my experience. As a former Auralic G1 and Roon Nucleus Plus owner, the Innuos Zenith MkIII is a superior server/renderer/player b... | |
| A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research @fsonicsmith I assure you, no trolling here. I’ve owned Audio Research gear that utilized the 6550, the Kt120 and the Kt150. The Kt150 based amps Ive owned (gsi75, 75se) provided a complete frequency reproduction and did so with elegance and verve... | |

| Curious USB cable VS. Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 USB cable I have owned a Platinum Starlight 7 USB, nice cable. I owned a Curious Cable USB, also a nice cable. I presently use a Final Touch Audio "FTA" Callisto, an extraordinary cable. | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? In the past I've had AZ, Kimber, Cardas Golden Reference, Cardas Clear, Transparent Gen 5, Ref, A23, etc, etc. for interconnects and speaker cables. I have settled on Tellurium Q Black Diamond IC's and speaker cables. Simply amazing how good these... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal @mayoradamwestBetting against Amazon has proved to be rather pointless. I think its awesome that a well capitalized company who also happens to be the largest seller of physical media music is a game changer. I subscribe to both Tidal and Qobuz pr... | |

| The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted I think you meant Indian Wells and yes, generalizations are generally incorrect. | |
| The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted @schubert "kooler than thou" race to nowhere? Man, I haven't experienced or witnessed that at all. What are you referring to?
