| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp @atmasphere , I know you to be super knowledgeable and I really appreciate what you are saying--so much so that it’s making me rethink the tube world, even if just for today. My speakers are 99dB efficient by specs. Maybe I’m just better off stayi... | |
| Can someone tell me why Tidal MQA shows as 96Khz when using a non-MQA DAC? Got it. That makes sense. For the life of me I cannot recall what my MQA DAC says when streaming the same MQA track. I really appreciate the fast and salient responses | |
| Can someone tell me why Tidal MQA shows as 96Khz when using a non-MQA DAC? I thought it might display 44.1 if you use a non MQA DAC. | |
| I'm getting my digital closer to analog while retaining the "good" qualities of digital... Take a look at the About Us section on the Doge website. You will read about their lack of advertising and marketing. Their corporate philosophy in the audiophile market is refreshing. So I can’t agree about the point in asking for two audio frien... | |
| I'm getting my digital closer to analog while retaining the "good" qualities of digital... It really is a cool time. I have room in my preferences and listening habits for both digital and vinyl. Both are great!I'm not a reviewer or professional in anyway. But my thought would be to tell the hobbyist who is not quite satisfied with d... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables I don’t have plans but emailed the guy for details. I’ll sebd you what I learn! | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables @joenavarra, Have you seen this: www.tubelabaudio.com ?I'm thinking of building 300B monoblocks | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables love my elekit!i upgraded all caps and resistors. I also bought better power supply and opts. Magical with horn speakers and a REL sub tuned very low on crossover and volume. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables @joenirvana,Joe, do you have any issue with the different gain levels between the Parasound and the Elekit? I have the same Elekit and was thinking of trying this with a great NAD Masters M21 amp to power the lows. | |
| MQA is Legit! Overall, I think Tidal's MQA Masters series recordings sound great and better than CD or traditional 44.1 Tidal hi-resolution downloads. I don't have experience with MQA in any other format than Tidal's Masters. I haven't made many direct compari... | |
| Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question... Yes, I like upscale and don’t have this problem with their product. This is new to me with reissues. I’m running them in to 100 hours. I doubt it will help but let’s see. | |
| Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models? I heard your desired combo and then heard the speakers with a up the line Rotel. I liked the Rotel synergy more but it was under store acoustic conditions. I was surprised that I didn’t think the Big Mac mono blocks were worth the extra money. I’m... | |
| Magnavox or RCA tube amp It depends on what your objective of fun seeking is and whether these amps meet it. Do you have a nostalgic affinity for them or do you want to build something? If you aren’t wedded to these amps for some reason and just want to tweak a tube amp,... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? @baffler65, Yes, I agree. That was one major point I was trying to make. LZ sounded nothing like the artists they stole from. Is there some irony here that another group is copying them? Some for sure. But the copying here is style of arrangements... | |
| Can we hear from those who essentially repurchased previous system? Thank you for the responses! I was curious about this and love hearing the anecdotes. I should've guessed so about the Quads! That makes total sense. I also love the term "recidivist gear"! |
