| Equipment Warm up, but What About Listener Warm up? Our mood and state of mind have a lot to do with it, sometimes the music catches me right away other times it can be an hour or two in where I am captivated by something. One thing about me I am not a static listener I am always multitasking usual... | |
| 12 years or 18 years? A newer less well known distiller but from Master Distiller Billy Walker is Glen Allachie. Really fantastic Scotch..........https://theglenallachie.com/whisky/glenallachie-18-year-old/ | |
| New speakers and guidance @willgolf they buyer of your house demanded your speakers are part of the deal??!! I can't say I've ever heard of such a thing I hope at least he didn't negotiate you down on the price too much. | |
| About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice? Congrats on your new speakers Joe! | |
| Possible ac line static. Is there a modem/router anywhere near your stereo? Also light dimmers in your room are a common cause of AC noise. | |
| Stealth Audio loudspeaker cables - time to replace after almost 10 years? If you are using your system on a regular basis I don't think cables ever degrade. Might something else sound better? Sure but perhaps not and if you're happy with the sound you're getting why change? | |
| Volti Audio's Razz Affordable Towers I would love to hear that also I loved the Rivals when I heard them at Cap Audiofest the last couple years. And they do look very Klipsch-like indeed! | |
| What to upgrade to? Bob perhaps try reaching out to Vu at Deja Vu and getting some cartridge recs that match up well with your phono pre. Vu's given me tons of great advice over the years he really knows good sound. | |

| Sound quality of Roon vs. Lighting I posted this question on the Auralic forums asking if people thought Roon sounded better than LDS as I was curious about maybe getting Roon. I would say most people who responded said LDS sounded better. Obviously the functionality isn't as advan... | |
| Tube noise mystery, continued Hey John glad everything worked out but I have to say I am shocked your dealer didn't test or replace the tubes before sending the amp all the way back to VTL! A tube going bad is pretty common in tube amps and easily fixable in fact I would sugge... | |
| Shelter in Place Qobuz Binge? I have been binging on Qobuz since before stay-at-home so feel you. :) | |
| What to upgrade to? @bobheinatz I also have a Deja Vu custom preamp so I know you're getting great sound there :) What amp are you using? I googled your speakers pretty interesting looking and I've heard of Dale Pitcher but I suspect they could be improved upon. | |
| Are you a special snowflake? Pretty sure posting a thread asking people if they're special snowflakes makes you a special snowflake. :) |
