| Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4??? I'm an Eno Ag user as well, it replaced an etherRegen. In the end I found the Eno Ag to sound better in my system and since it's a passive device I was able to eliminate an LPS. The Gigafoil works much like using two FMCs with a short run of fiber... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! If noise is a concern, you should check out the Audio Note Cobra integrated. I'm using the Cobra with CW IV speakers, it's dead quiet (no hum and barely any idle hiss). As an added bonus, the amp has an integrated DAC based on the Philips TDA 1543... | |
| Tube Dealers 2021 Another vote for Brent Jessee. Great service, always happy to answer questions. | |
| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp @cal3713 The sound is great, the video is a little dicey at times but the Dead playing Fire on the Mountain at the base of the great pyramids is epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFYIsvcspmQ | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @gryphongryph Does your Cabernet have a mute switch and, if so, is it active on the 6SN7 circuit?If you answered "yes" to these questions, you can flip the mute switch prior to powering off any equipment and you'll avoid the thumping sound. | |
| How loud are you typically listening? I’m in that same 75 to 80dB range, testing with dB meter on my iPhone.I've noticed that as I've grown older, I don't appreciate loud music any longer. | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Things that frustrate me about for sale ads: 1) stock photos on any item, especially an expensive item, with a note that reads: pictures to be added later or available on request. 2) Not being able to answer rudimentary questions: age, hours on tu... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? My favorite is when I make a reasonable offer (within 10% of asking price), that offer is completely ignored and then a month or two later they sell the item for 30+% less than their original asking price. | |
| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp Great timeline of Garcia's guitars, also discusses his amp setups over the years. http://dozin.com/jers/guitar/history.htmMy favorites were Wolf and the Gibson SG. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? 1) Journey without Steve Perry. Neal Schon's continuous solos were ego-induced and totally unnecessary. The vocals were like bad karaoke.2) Duran Duran in 2019. They came out two hours late and were totally lifeless. | |

| Best Server To Run Roon Core @kingbarbudaI My Zenith replaced a SonicTransporter i5, SGC LPS and Synology NAS. In my humble opinion, the Zenith is audibly better. In all fairness, the SGC ran the Roon DSP features without issue. The other thing to note is that the SGC i5 is n... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @jmarshak I think you could be disappointed going from an Aurender N10 with the Conductor app to a Roon-based system. I have an Innuos Zenith Mk. 3, upon which I was running Roon Core. At the suggestion of another member, I tried Squeezebox using ... | |
| Klipsch Heritage Range Last year, on a whim, I picked up an old pair of Forte II from Craigslist. At the time, my main speakers were Harbeth SHL5+. I was blown away by how good they were, this prompted me to acquire Forte III--which ultimately replaced my Harbeth. Contr... | |
| Klipsch Forte III vs Altec 19 I have Forte III, I enjoy them.They have a passive radiator on the back so you have to be mindful of placement near the rear wall. |
