| Upgrade power supply for Auralic Mini Some additional comments about the iFi iPower using the 15 volt adapter for the Aries Mini. I have a Freya pre-amp on the same side of the equipment console. Soon after getting the iPower I did notice a low level sort of "warbling" noise when th... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks, @czarivey.Always appreciate a new music recommendation. I will see what I can find of his on Tidal or Spotify and give a listen. | |

| SVS PB-16 Sub FWIW - same experience as stevecham with a pair of SVS SB1000s positioned almost exactly as Steve has his 2000s. Mine are used with a pair of Totem Forests and at other times with a pair of Prelude Pluses that occasionally replace the Forests for ... | |

| ECM Now Streaming That is great news about ECM catalog availability via streaming. Thanks for posting. | |

| Maybe tube preamp Have had a Freya for almost a year now. It is well worth the money especially in regards to functionality, flexibility and good sound quality (low distortion to my ears). I personally also like the form factor. It does have a few quirks. Freya rep... | |
| Stand alone tweeter? @dekay Understood. Your suggestion reminded me of a post here from several years ago. I think it was Tvad who mentioned the studio tweak of hanging a sheet of TP in front of the tweeter. @gondo101 It did take a LOT of time and experimentation -... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 I'd be surprised if you did not already own this, O. Amazing to me what music was being created in 1961. Even then, I wonder how much else was like it. Given the hostile reviews, I'm guessing not much. "Chasing the Trane" IS a bit o... | |
