| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? Cables matched to components ? What are you talking about ? The best RCA cables that I have sound best with everything I tried them with, both tube and SS, both analogue and digital, anywhere. Now that's the cables. And they are both musical and d... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? mulveling, that piece of Swiss transistor Soulution cannot compete with VAC Statement even in the wildest of fantasies. Besides, not all big speakers are created equal in terms of how they perform in relatively small rooms. Don't know about presen... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. Tubes can go a long way in revealing the strengths of the speakers. | |
| New computer for Streaming???? ghdprentice, I understand it. Besides, when streaming you own nothing unlike records, tapes and even cds. | |

You are going to get many opinions. Before replacing your amp I would first replace tubes in it, all of them perhaps. Talk to Kevin fr... | |
| WHY KRAUTROCK? Right. It also requires certain familiarity with other cultures in general. | |
| WHY KRAUTROCK? czarivey, it is, though sometimes it is difficult to understand. Take Indian, Persian or Japanese music, as examples. I do understand them partly, at least I think I do, but not fully, especially Japanese. | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? swede58, I know, I know. I was just surprised that no one mentioned it. Boulder or Gryphon is a matter of preference, I am not talking about their dacs. | |
| ATC buying advice Come on, people, jump in. A man with unlimited budget needs free consulting service. That's what we are here for, right ? | |
| WHY KRAUTROCK? Damn, they all speak American. How many of you speak German ? | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. asctim, this is a fascinating hypothesis. Interesting reading about photography too, though I didn't really understand everything. |
