| Let's talk power cords Ok take two, with gracious assistance from Chis Venhaus, Furutech FP-S032N with gold FI-11 connectors! Well within my budget, sub $500, and still very excited! | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! Why buy used indeed is this not a website for selling used equipment? As Elizabeth correctly points out it's a great way to essentially home audition amps with little financial loss. I daresay many of us here have used that exact strategy over the... | |
| Let's talk power cords @samac Ha disregard my message which I deleted I never bought the connectors themselves! No wonder it seemed like such a good deal back to the drawing board on that idea. | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? +1 on Aires though i run the Mini via spdif to an Audio Note DAC-3 signature. Love the sound and the Lightning DS app is great. | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! There are so many good deals on here in SS amps I would stretch your budget and buy used. Some listings that caught my eye:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-power-amplifier-spectacular-see-pics-2018-01-02-amplif...I used an entry level... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? My Deja Vu Audio preamp and amp. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Ginger Baker for me and also Keith Moon and Jim Keltner. Someone current you all will probably dismiss and/or sneer at John Fishman. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp +1 Audio Note happy AN/J owner here. The E recommended above is the floor standing version of my speakers and a bit more sensitive. I really do love horns also but can't accommodate them in my small space. A bit surprised to see the Goldmund Dialo... | |
| Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc I have a slight preference for Harbeth over Proac but both are quite good. I agree with jpjerry Proac ribbons do sound very natural I was quite surprised when I heard them. Dynaudio I've never heard but they are typically harder speakers to drive... | |

I can go on crazy tangents listening to something, checking out whats available from other musicians on that recording and so on and so on. Als... | |
| Issue with Graininess from my Aurender N100H Understood guys and what an odd problem for a streaming device. Has either of you contacted Aurender? Self noise in a component like that should be way below the threshold of the rest of your systems. | |
| Issue with Graininess from my Aurender N100H Do you have another source to make sure the issue is not the Aurender? Perhaps it could a noise issue be further down the chain, any tubes anywhere? | |
| Auralic Aries Mini not connecting... Are you having buffering issues with Tidal or your own files or both marc202 If it's just Tidal that's a known Tidal issue not the Aries. | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo Ghosthouse makes a good point about rolling tubes and just for fun can you try single ended cables from the Freya to your J2? It might relax the sound a bit you never know. | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo First of all, "drinking from a fire hydrant" is an awesome descriptor thank you! Looking at some of the current preamp listings this jumps out:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/phono-edge-electronics-si-1-2017-12-22-preamplifiers-59ecf403-a357..$6... |
