| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I've had mine since it was introduced and I've never felt the need to change. Mine runs from my Bryston renderer to an Uptone Audio ISO Regen and then to an Ayre QB9 Twenty. As for the length, balanced cables shouldn't be needed unless the length ... | |
| Replacing DH Labs Thick Locking Banana Plugs on Eight Gauge Speaker Cable Yes, rotation does help though I spent ten minutes doing that and didn’t get any further. I guess I could keep trying. I was thinking that there might be some way of doing this that I wasn’t aware of, some special technique but I guess not. I don’... | |
| Replacing DH Labs Thick Locking Banana Plugs on Eight Gauge Speaker Cable Thanks Erik but the problem I’m having is getting the banana plug over the tube shrink and far enough down to where that it matches the length of other plug. I can work the plug down to where it’s close but not exact. I’m wondering how the tech go... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC Hi toddraymond, I ended up buying a Bryston BDP Pi and since using it, I have noticed my Ayre DAC on the HDCD setting. The Bryston is a considerable improvement over the MacMini and the Bryston/Ayre Twenty combination is like a dream.Unfortunately... | |

| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers twoleftears, it’s good to see that linear tube audio is in Takoma Park. It would be worthwhile to visit them in person. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers atmasphere, certainly would like to own an Atmasphere valve amp. Understanding the options better would help in deciding which one. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers So for an OTL amp, you’re in need of a 16-ohm pair of speakers which I would think is rather limiting. As I’ve mentioned above, there are amplifiers that offer sound characteristics equal to the best of both tube and solid state. I can’t understan... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I had a conversation with a friend of mine who teaches piano. She has a refurbished Steinway grand in her living room and was thinking about getting rid of it and buying another. Different piano manufacturers came up, Weber, Bechstein, Bosendorfe... | |
| Speaker repair technical question I over powered a pair of Monitor Audio GR 10’s and blew the woofer and gold dome tweeter in one of the speakers. I ordered both from Canada, installed them and they were the same as new. So I’m not so sure why it is you’re having a problem but I w... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers Hate to be crotchety here but artistic expression in Industrial Design is secondary to making money. A lot of research and design by Volkswagen, Apple, etc… is to determine an aesthetic that will drive consumerism. If a manufacturer misses the mar... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers Anyone ever hear an ASR Emitter II Exclusive? When I inherited a sum of money from my beloved Auntie, I decided to buy a stereo that would punch above it’s weight class. At first, I considered buying a flagship McIntosh tube preamp with two flagsh... | |
