| tube bias conundrum i agree with the input from @carlsbad2 @decooney op, i wasn't being derogatory about the 'chinese junk'... i was saying those tubes you have in hand were not quality controlled in a way to ensure you as the user/customer can use them in real... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? @jetter I just think when a person relatively new to the hobby asks a question and a member inevitably comes on as all knowing, at least he should post pictures of his system so the noobie has an idea of his frame of reference. +100... spot o... | |
| Tube microphonics Just because a tube pings if you tap it does not mean it will sound bad. Mild microphonics is not a problem. I’ve heard tube trials where the best sounding tubes happen to be microphonic (the tubes were 310A’s). this is very true, and an import... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @xenolith ok i see what you are doing now, trying to get free cocktails at my house ALOT sooner than 2041... | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio yes these are excellent, no nonsense, high value, high performing cables sweet sounding, slight dulling of the treble but they seem to preserve the 'atmospherics' well (imaging, scale etc) think of them as much more cost effective cardas golden ... | |
| tube bias conundrum So what is going on here because the sound continues to be impressive despite the bias problem? poor quality control in those chinese power tubes, resulting in the set you have not being able to hold bias consistently across the set this of co... | |
| Tube microphonics yes indeed - don’t ask -- just try it!!! here is an explanation | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing let me try to cover off some add’l questions posed “dacs are set up in a/b and even a/b/c configuration, easily switchable to allow comparison when needed” Can you share more on how your going about that and how you avoid any additional tonal c... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @xenolith honest and funny! 👍 party at my house in 2041 when you reach 200 posts!!! 🤣 | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Did you have something close to a control reference system you used to evaluate most of these or did you change speakers and amps too in parallel at times? Have you had a standard streamer to test them with or have your tried a bunch of those al... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @mahler123 seems to me that the provocateurs here don’t play by those rules, tit for tat is what they hope for, it gives them energy, sates their appetite for turmoil and vitriol for the rest of us, normal users here to be informed and entertai... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I’d be curious to hear your impressions of the Van Alstine dacs. I’ve been wanting to experience one of their more recent offerings in my system at some point. Given your predilection for dacs with good output stages and attenuation, I was surpri... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing top three (no order of preference) - i favor dacs with some linestage/volume control capability so i can go direct to power amp, and even better if streamer is onboard, and is a smaller form factor weiss 501 (utterly pure and incisive sound) and ... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing forgot a couple - tried ben zwickel’s mojo mystique v3 in 2022 (an important one) also had the ifi neo stream in 2023 am sure i have missed a few others that i will be reminded of in time... | |
| Problems with the IFI Zen Stream.. What's a better Alternative? i have two zenstreams that i use to do simultaneous feeds for dac comparisons i have had zero trouble with them, though I would add here that i am a roon user (with all other functionalities turned off), and i use a network feed via hardwire lan ... |
