Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? But it is not a free and open forum here. Just ask all the outcasts. This is why the MSM and the Far Left are freaking about Musk buying Twitter. They will lose their blowtorch for their agendas. As it is now like here they can squash all o... | |
5AR4 rectifier tube question Bah, humbug, snake-oil! I went ahead & pulled the trigger on a couple of vintage 5AR4s (a UK Amperex and a Hitachi) on ebay. I bid on a couple of Mullards as well, but I am not planning on going any higher and there are still a bunch of days ... | |
5AR4 rectifier tube question According to Cary Audio: If you have not had it done to your favorite Cary Audio piece, the Hexfred option makes an awesome difference! Hexfreds are high speed low noise rectifiers and replace your existing standard rectifiers in the power ... | |
CD Tweaks: An Update @paul6001 To those who recommend listening in an altered state, I have only two words for you: Blotter acid. Such a tiny piece of paper and the music becomes so big. And I mean big in every possible sense. Beautiful stuff (sometimes), but don... | |
Tubes becoming hard to get? @dinov where are you getting your tubes and which ones have you priced? | |
Changing Tubes Does anyone have impressions to share of the '70s/'80s Toshiba 6DJ8? | |
A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Thank you to all for the informative replies--much appreciated. | |
I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day There's an easy way to avoid all this Quit eating Omaha Steaks? | |
Tubes becoming hard to get? @rsf507 Another company taking advantage of the situation Uncle Kevin says it is only to discourage hoarding. LOL. | |
I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day I am home quite a bit of the time, but anymore they never ring the bell. I generally find out something has been delivered when I check my email. And those Amazon delivery drivers? Their driving is going to kill people. | |
I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day Fed ex used to bring the stuff I ordered to my front doorstep and not ring the door bell. For the last two orders they delivered, they didn't even make it the front doorstep--they deposited it the orders in front of my garage. (I guess because it... | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) All right sorry! I always explain too much. @harpo75 no, not at all! Thank you! I like the sound of tubes when everything is running good, but I really do not have the mind for comprehending a lot of this stuff. It almost sounds like you would... | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Backing off the gain knobs gradually until it sounds best (listen carefully) and you are good to go. @avanti1960 I am actually going to try this. With your L and R ’input level’ knobs backed off to where you feel is optimal, where is your ’list... | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @xcool the confusion is not your fault. I just would have thought that for a job parts + whatever the hourly rate for labor is would have covered a job. I may be out of touch on that as I really try to farm as little as possible out. Like for The ... | |
High quality CDs @old_ears and @secretguy I don’t have a $hit load of Chesky discs (as opposed to MFSL & DCC of which I do own a $hit-load of), but I can think of a couple that I own that sound quite nice: Rebecca Pigeon/The Raven and I have a Sarah K C... |
