| Decisions, decisions (upgrades to digital front end) I am personally of the opinion that streamers and Dacs are ideally kept separate. Especially streaming wirelessly I would think that would be a lot of additional digital noise in close proximity to the audio signal. You have a very nice setup alre... | |
| Cable info I wouldn't spend your money on cables, instead put it towards an outboard Dac which will improve the sound of your Node by an order of magnitude. | |
| My first Tube Amplifier My first stereo tube amp was also my first deal on Audiogon a c-j Premiere 11a. I never really liked the amp it didn’t sound much different from my previous SS integrated. I sold it pretty quickly and I’ve had many tube amps after that and I’ll n... | |
| drag me into the digital age!! Hi azjake this is actually pretty easy, leaving aside the digital to digital converter, you can just connect the Aries to the Kitsune DAC with either a coax digital interconnect or USB. Your choice but USB does usually let you use higher sampling ... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? jollytinker gave me a good idea I think I'm going to start going on political forums and start arguments about cables. :p | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions I will say all my GL KT-77s have sounded great but the tubes I've bought from Upscale have been the most reliable and lasted the longest. | |
| Not Mine...Quad ESLs 57s in North Fl/South GA Wow $1000! Someone go get those! | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @Trevah I really liked how your largest model, Krypton maybe, I bet they would sound even better with higher quality electronics behind them. The Benchmark sounded fine but I am sure their ceiling is higher. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report One amusing moment in the Odyssey room wandered in lights were off weird techno music playing the room lit but little lantern things. The combo of darkened room the weird lighting and clicks and chirps of "music" made me almost burst out laughing.... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @mapman I also really liked the Fritz Carerra the imaging was spectacular and nice implementation of the Be tweeter it wasn't bright at all. Very natural tonality top to bottom and great bang for the buck. | |
| Trumpeteer Roy Hargrove passes at 49. Agreed an awful loss and at such a young age RIP Roy. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Correction to my above post the driver in the Charney Audio room was an AER not Lowther. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I was there yesterday only for about 5 hours and thought overall things sounded better last year than this year. A few rooms I really liked:Charney Audio really lovely sounding system not sure the exact model of speaker but one of the best impleme... | |
| Rules for Trading & Best Trading Experience I've never really thought about rules per se but I've done some trades in the past. The only one I can remember at the moment was a speaker trade. I traded a pair of Alon Lotus SE's for a pair of JMlabs Micro-Utopias following a move to my current... | |
