| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. “Unfortunately, the world is officially in decline.“ …Indeed, it is… I can’t think of anything of this magnitude that could justify the world’s decline… Our entire existence feels unjustifiable after this… | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus I find it hard to believe that Siemens would intentionally make inferior tubes for Amperex, or vice versa. It’s an impossible concept. I have Valvos made by Amperex, and British Brimars made for German Lorenz with the German military hawk symbol o... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery @roxy54 +1 | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. I bought Viborg and Choseal cables from AliExpress a few years ago, and everything went smoothly. The sellers also answered all my questions. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 After many months of listening to my device with Western Electric 5842 tubes, I switched back to the original Soviet-made 6S45 tubes. I found the 6S45s to be more precise, and the music became more focused. | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 Definitely try the Vincent Audio SV-237MKII Hybrid integrated (150/250) from Audio Advisor. The sound is very enjoyable/musical, and it has a lot of useful features. If you don’t like it, just return it - they have a generous 60-day return policy ... | |
| Vincent Audio tube preamp SA-T7 & SP-332 power amp To Vincent SA-T7 owners - do not substitute the 6S3P-EV tubes with EC86/6CM4 stuff, they’re damaging the preamp. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @bruce19 It doesn’t really matter whether it was a shill or an unauthorized promoter; they’ll be back after resolving the monetary issue. They’ll never let go of this moneymaking resource.That’s how that particular country usually operates. In an... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread That person is/was a shill, as simple as that. You might disagree, but that won’t change the obvious fact. The shills usually have to pay the owners of the platform they’re using, otherwise they’ll be banned or suspended. I’m pretty sure they’ll b... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Get a preamp with a loudness feature like Accuphase, they call it “compensator.” I have one and it works great. | |
| Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes? Vivatubes is a great seller, and their tubes are matched without charging more. They carry Psvane and Linlai stuff. | |
| Bluesound I did the update, and it went smoothly | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? No matter what, most people will buy their equipment based on reviews from sources like Stereophile or recommendations from authorized promoters in the hi-fi industry on audio forums. You may disagree, of course, but it’s a fact of life. | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V @nwres You won’t be disappointed for sure! | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V Guys, you need to get a Soviet 6c4p-ev rectifier in place of Chinese 6z4 (plug'n'play) and try to experiment with 5842 tubes (adapters needed). I did both, and I like the results. But Western Elecric 5842/417a tubes (in my case) are expensive, whi... |
