| Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state I very much doubt that voltage sag is the problem with a preamp. I have compare 866a tubes with 3b28 tubes, (which only drop about 15 volts and have great regulation) and they sound different, so it can't be voltage sag. | |
| Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state @danager +1 on the space tech lab super rectifier, I own one and it makes a profound difference with my preamp. I don't know exactly why it makes such a difference, but it does, if I want it to sound more like solid state I just roll in a couple 3... | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) If you like the sound of the upper model lampizator dacs, look into the space tech lab DA-DSD1024-8X-TUBE dac, it uses 8 dual triode tubes as part of the up sampling circuit. I haven't heard this particular dac, but I do own a less expensive spac... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton You say that manufacturers don’t include any measurements to defend that streamers can make a difference, but once Sony didn’t know what audiophiles were complaining about when CD players first came out, and it was later figured out that... | |
| I have just 2 words for all you jazz/blues music lovers........... @Deep_333 another drive by post just like Jasonbourne52. | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? @steve59 The meters on an amplifier are not going to accurately measure the peak power you are using, in fact not even close. | |
| Grounded Speaker Cable I've never heard of such a thing. Who makes this cable? It sounds like it could be an issue with some amplifiers that do not share common grounds. It seems like it could be a problem with a floating ground, it definitely wouldn't work with one ... | |
| Audiophile grade passive impedance buffer Al from space tech can build whatever you need, just give him a call or email, he usually answers in a few hours or less. | |
| Audiophile grade passive impedance buffer Space tech labs has several balanced tube buffers. | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? I listen to my apogee duetta 2 speakers at low volume with no loss of detail, it's quite enjoyable. | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? @cleeds you are absolutely correct that silver has better conductivity than copper, it would be nice if others did some homework before posting misinformation. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @atmasphere There is actually a high end audio amp that can make 6,000 watts RMS into 2ohms the Dan D'Agostino relentless 1600. | |
| Digital vs Analog experiment @jasonbourne71 no, the louder sample doesn't always sound better, especially if you listen for a longer duration. By your logic then compressed music would sound best. | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i My node 2 has had interface problems many times over the years, it locks up and I have to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. When I change songs it used to change the music but the data would still be stuck on the same song, that has not bee... | |
