| Ohio - Over the Rhine Ok. I ordered the vinyl version of the Ohio. So just compared. But of course, this tie with the FLAC 16/44 streamed version… Qobuz. It took me a couple of cuts to detect any difference… it is very subtle. I noticed the vinyl was ever so slight... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @newbee +1 Transport. But, Also, it will depend on your other equipment. Rega makes a really large range integrated amps from extremely inexpensive to much less inexpensive. Which do you have and speakers? What is your longer termed goals? Mov... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @drbarney1 @kenjit It saddens me to hear how cynical you have become. Certainly there are some companies that operate this way. But a much larger proportion are driven by true desire to create better products… or in some cases driven by other ... | |
| Great Experience with Dealer Cool. Thanks for the recommendation. Good to hear about the good ones. | |
| Nobosound Springs I have a really good quality Silent Running Audio Ohio Class isolation platform specifically tuned for my Linn LP12… well worth it. But I have Nobsound springs under everything else. Well worth it, and made a small difference under each… but this ... | |
| Problem with biasing Try switching tube positions. Does the bright glow move? If not refer to @oddiofyl, if it moves replace the tube. | |
| room set up question? Typically there is only one sweet spot and by the nature of most speakers… that is it. There is variability… planar sweet spots can be tiny and require speaker placement to be perfectly adjusted to the 1/8”… or smaller. Most speakers will have a s... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. @kmmd It is likely you will really appreciate your N20… it is a really great sounding streamer, based on my experience with Aurlic Aries G2, and Aurender N100, N10, and W20SE. While I liked the Aurlic, I found the Aurender to be a superior sound... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. @arafiq I agree that most people vouch for what they have. However, how good a recommendation that is, is a reflection of their knowledge, depth of experience, rigor in their search, budget, as well as their values. It is unlikely someone would... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps OP, Thanks. To understand the dichotomy in tube versus solid state one must start forty or more years ago. Back then virtually all solid state was lean, trebly, and hard sounding. Tube equipment was warm and rolled off the treble and was wooly i... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless @coralkong , “This will be my last post to you. You are acting like a petulant child. Go away, I'm not buying your BS, and no how many times you feel the need to get the last word, I don’t agree with you.” +1 me as well. | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @jimski 👍 | |
| Primaluna? @aseaman007 Great questions. Could I suggest you post this as a new thread and delete this. It is a great question. But this is already a long thread. I’d be happy to respond. Big questions. | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes Honestly, I have to question subs playing that loud. I found that when they were set more than very low in my audio system, they collapse the soundstage and screw up the midrange and treble. They should not be heard. I used to have 4 800 series s... | |
| Upgrading my digital system Nice looking system. I first would mirror @kota1 ’s comments. There is an enormous opportunity for system tuning and improvements in the sound you get from your existing system. But on your question. First, my streaming sounds the same as an equ... |
