| Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW @steakster i could not agree more the biggest questions about life, civilization, the universe are all unanswered, or woefully unexplained by human's sense of what is 'science' | |
| Tidal class-action so a small hifi vendor with lots of ’alliances’ goes into receivership so what? it still operates, the owners have their equity diluted or wiped out, debtors take a partial hit on their receivables, negotiate some bigger fish in the pond (perhap... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 vs Cambridge CXN v2 sonically worth the price difference ? i think it is very very hard, well nigh impossible, to evaluate how a streamer sounds at a hifi show lets say you hear a node playing in a bad sounding room then a cxn v2 being used in a nice sounding room is this sufficiently convincing to cro... | |
| Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW @richtruss It’s a curse having an electrical engineering background. It holds you back from getting a great sounding system. You think too much about things, using that hard-learned logic to persuade yourself that things can’t possibly work. I w... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @bdp24 i sure did watch that d-r video, as well as others... thank you i wonder what danny could do with a set of eminent's in his hands!!?? 😂 | |

| Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW well educated, intellectually curious and honest scientists understand and keep the limits of science, what science can/cannot explain or predict, at front of mind and then there is the ol' marketing department, baiting and casting hooks into wal... | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? Pass Labs specifies the XA25’s output power as 25Wpc into 8 ohms and 50Wpc into 4 ohms (both equivalent to 14dBW). However, as you can see in figs. 4 and 5, the amplifier exceeded its specified power output at the clipping point, which we define ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! sorry but i snorted my morning coffee through my nose... laughed so hard at the earlier post omg -- we idiots have all been listening to complete crap before dannie richie came along, and made all walks of speakers listenable -- no doubt that jim... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) good speakers, no doubt but somehow i have a picture in my mind of a warehouse chock full of these speakers on sitting on pallets, looking for good homes i suspect to keep the cost per pair low, many many pairs were manufactured in a sizable bul... | |
| Biasing issue with Audio Research VT100 Mk II @edward78 my suggestion to you is to insist that the one quad tube set that is not fully biasing to 130 ma be immediately replaced with a fresh set that can bias properly by the repair shop ... as @jea48 said, the tubes will definitely need more... | |
| Biasing issue with Audio Research VT100 Mk II yes yes @jea48 is absolutely right! i was talking about the quads of power tubes only (not the small signal tubes)! i should have been clearer on that point, my bad | |
| Power Supply For Innuos? Wondering if Innuos Zen Mini and Pulse Mini can be used with aftermarket power supplies like an Sbooster? of course... just get proper voltage, amp rating and plug type innuos or any streamer vendor does not have linear power supply knowhow co... | |
| Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used my favorites have been both solid state (i don’t want tubes in the phono stage) -- lehmann decade and ayre px5e - organic sounding dead quiet plenty plenty of gain and adjustability |
