| 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... | |

| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso Gorgeous and all gear should have meters! | |
| Article about us Audiophiles: 'Audiophilia Forever' A well written column as I would expect from the New Yorker thank you @david_ten for sharing it. My only complaint is his total dismissal of Redbook CD which as most of us know has improved immeasurably. Outside the purview of the article so not a... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp @crwindy I've heard the Synthesis integrated with the built in DAC twice its a fantastic sounding integrated and a very good value for what you get. My local dealer Deja Vu Audio imports Synthesis I heard it in one of their rooms driving a pair of... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Browsing the DAC listing this looks like a very good deal for $1500 from a company on the cutting edge of digital Chord, no affiliation with the seller.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-2018-01-05-digital-183a4592-7636-46c0-bebb-c973... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal I have not heard the Cambridge but what's your overall budget for a DAC? | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal I guess the pertinent question is what cd player do you have? And are you using the analog outputs of the Node2? To really get the best sound you should invest in a good DAC you will be stunned at the improvement you get. | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp @trelja Thanks I love my amp and I've listened to a 45 pp amp from them it was fantastic but I thought a bit too detailed for my setup at the time. I went with the EL34 because it sounds good and it's cheap to retube. Sounds like you have quite th... | |
| HPM 150’s Still Relevant? If you like the speaker why change? A quick google search tells me this is quite a highly though of vintage speaker. http://www.vintage-speaker-review.com/2012/05/pioneer-hpm-150-hpm-1500-speaker-review.htmlIt certainly wouldn't hurt to compare th... | |
| Jadis DA60 with Separate Preamp Big KT-77 fan here the current reproduction Genalex Gold Lions are outstanding sounding tubes. Beat JJ 6ca7 fat bottles, PSvane Phillips Replicas, Svetlana, Tung Sol reproductions and a few more. Never tried the JJ EL34L and obviously my amp, a cu... |
