| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? @tablejockey I wish it was a lateral move to be honest. More of a downgrade in terms of emotion and connection. Greater detail, but not cohesive and engaging to be honest. I can see why people use these types of descriptors now. Gear really does u... | |
| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? @lak I'm starting to believe this. I was expecting a lot more depth and lushness, but it just can't compete with tubes to be honest. The detail is great, but instruments and voices don't sound as real or natural versus the tubes. | |
| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? @lewm this is along the lines of what I was thinking. Give it around 3-4 days to fully stabilize, being left on as recommend by VDH. Then moving on if it doesn’t suffice. I was in all honesty expecting to be moving on from a tube phono, but th... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Slowdive - Slowdive Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Nothing - Guilty of Everything Midwife - Luminol Drug Church - Hygiene Favorite albums of the last probably 10 years for me. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. @mahgister thanks for the Four Seasons recommendation. I'm in no way shape or form a classical music listener, but have heard clips of these songs and have been looking to pick up a LP. This will be the version added to my want list on Discogs. Th... | |
| Accuphase or Leben for heavy metal To the people claiming you want a certain class of amp to play "demanding" metal is wrong. I run @atmasphere class D and a tube phono and pre and am completely satisfied with speed and detail. All amps will work, test a few if you can. Oh and I pl... | |
| Allnic H 7000 XLR out. What did you end up with @dentdog ? I run single ended from my Allnic's but am thinking of moving up the chain in cable quality and costs and moving to XLR. Curious what you need up with after all. | |
| A GOOD dry record cleaning device @whart IPA and water? That's a new one! 🍻😂 | |
| where I can buy tubes to my ALLNIC PRE (3A/110A and 3A/109B) Kevalin should be able to help you. John there is very communicative. | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers Atma-sphere Class D and be done with it. Zero heat. Solved my upstairs summertime heat issue. I'll never sell them and they surpassed my BKK250 sonically. | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio @thecarpathian Not everything is about you, this is a thread about Upscale Audio. Go back to your cage. | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio @audphile1 hahahah Upacale rules, Kat there had always given solid advice and hooked me up with shirts and special prices. Looks liked she moved on to SME, but she was a solid asset and why I always go to Upacale first. | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice @audphile1 you'd be surprised at how well recorded and pressed metal bands are. I highly encourage you to pick a few LP's up. I'd always heard that saying and I have a ton of metal and punk records that sound fantastic and are recorded, mastered a... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @amtprod Exactly! Sometimes it's hard to describe your scenario and experience, but pictures tell it all. For someone just starting into the decoupling arena like my wife I can highly recommend them. I've read the Townshend's take things a step fu... | |
