| 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... | |
| How does one (grow) as a music listener/lover? slaw a great point and for me personally the advent of streaming has really kicked this into high gear. 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... | |

| 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... |
