| Are you operating in the correct SPL window for high-fidelity listening? Small room here I typically listen in the 55-70db range using sensitive speakers and low powered tube amps it's plenty loud for me. | |
| Tube preamplifier lifespan I'm listening to a 25 year old preamp it sounds great and works great haven't had a problem with it besides an occasionally dirty pot and changing tubes. It's a custom job so kind of a one off but tube preamps can last very long and plenty have. | |
| Brian Wilson RIP to a musical legend. I am not a fan of his work but respect him immensely for it. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Can anyone do a quick recap list of the 12 things for those of us who listen to music instead of watching Youtube? | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? My current cable is the best I've ever heard it's Jorma's digital cable, no idea what it costs these days but a perfect balance between detail and naturalness. | |
| Another great gone Truly a great one RIP Sly! | |
| Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant? I use an Aries G1 outputting to a Yamamoto YDA-1 Dac and I think it sounds great and it's been totally reliable. I'm sure the Altair sounds great but I'm personally a fan of keeping streamer and Dac separate it makes upgrading easier. | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover I’m assuming you don’t want tubes based on your OP but how about a hybrid amp? I noticed in the classifieds that member Grannyring is selling a Circle Labs hybrid integrated those sound excellent. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbee92-ci... | |
| What does your DAC sound like I am currently listening to a Yamamoto YDA-1 and it sounds very vivid, immediate, and musical. They do pop up used from time to time but not often. | |
| DAC to Preamp/Processor, question please? Tom you are using the Dac in the Pontus the RCA’s you're running are from the analog outputs. It does not have a digital output. | |
| Kondo vs Audio Note silver It's hard to say because I use a Kondo copper interconnect and Lexus speaker cables so no way to compare but they do work very well together. | |
| KT88 tube stores in Europe. What do you mean Tube Depot and Viva won't work? Have they stopped shipping to Europe? | |
| ??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ??? It doesn't bother me I like looking at new gear and like 98% of manufacturers don't really interest me anyway. | |
| Kondo vs Audio Note silver I have not though I have a Kondo copper cable in my system I think it sounds good and pairs well with my other cables, Auditorium 23 and AN Lexus. Probably not helpful at all but you got a reply at least. ;) | |
| White cabinet popularity? I am not a fan of white cabinets myself but they do seem to be gaining in popularity. It's good you can find a color that matches your decor if you want to these days. |
