| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis @macg19 agreed such a tragedy and @lalitk I'll have to listen to some Chris Botti it's been quite a while for me thanks for the reminder. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Too much detail can be very distracting I discovered that with a fantastic pushpull 45 amp in my system it was just too much. | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? Looks like 11% for me at prices paid I have no idea at retail most of my cables were bought used. | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis For trumpet playing I'd say Clifford Brown>Miles Davis>Lee Morgan>Freddie Hubbard>Dizzy Gillespie and then Chet Baker. As a bandleader and composer it's no contest Miles over Chet by a mile also. That said I really like Chet Ba... | |
| Noisy tube? If you get a second of static upon warm up and it goes away nothing to worry about. That said is the static in the channel where you replaced all the tubes? If so try cleaning the tube pins that may help. | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? A streamer is not just convenience it's a purpose built device for streaming music. Unlike your Ipad that is all it does which should make it a lot quieter at the very least. BTW you really should ditch Spotify it doesn't sound very good in compar... | |
| Mastersound tube amps: 300b vs Dueventi So you heard an amp you liked a lot and it inspired you to look for a different amp? I will say Audio Note is not much for industrial design but their stuff sure does sound good. Is it possible these other amps sound better? Sure could be but I'm ... | |

| Optimize or buy new gear..? To me this is very much an it depends question. What gear do you have and what improvements in sound are you looking for. If you want a sea change cables and ancillaries may not get you there. But if your mostly happy they can get you that final s... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @bigtwin I'd assume because tubes sound better. ;) | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Optomized topology is a good point and also a good argument for buying an amp with a single topology because you know it's optimized for it. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? Auralic Aries G1 would fit the bill and can be found under $2K used. | |
| Give Me a 3D Printer and Who Knows What I'll Come Up With... They look awesome well done! | |
| Give Me a 3D Printer and Who Knows What I'll Come Up With... Todd a very cool project! Any pics of them all setup? Also is the material rubber or some sort of plastic? | |
| Eversolo DMP-A6 Streaming Help Also keep in mind that Airplay is lossy so Wifi or ethernet should definitely sound better. |
