| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Very well said grannyring on all counts! Charles is a treasure trove of musical recommendations and as the French say vive la difference! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles loved both of your suggestions today! Parkers Mood and Fingerpaintings are both in my favorites now and its been an enjoyable relaxed Friday of listening. Delving more into Nicholas Payton now with Into the Blue. | |
| Alternatives to Psvane KT-88's ? People seem to like the Genalex Gold Lion KT-88's very much. I've never tried them, my amp uses EL34 tubes but I will say in my system the Gold Lion KT-77 crushed the Psvane EL34 tubes no contest at all. Not exactly apples to apples but hopefully ... | |

| Vintage amps & power cords I use high end power cords in my system and love how they improve the sound. My amp however has a captive old school cord and its an original custom job, I take perverse pleasure in the fact the pricetag was left on the plug, $.05 in bright orange... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 and Audio Note Kits Interstage PSE monoblocks FWIW not exactly apples to apples but I drive JMlabs (Focal) original Micro-Utopia's with a 17 watt PP class A triode wired stereo tube amp.

| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile Agreed on Shindo listened to my friends Vosne Romanee/Montrachet combo the other night amazing sound! Also would recommend Audio Note an M3 linestage new is in your budget or you could score a used M3 or M4 if you keep an eye on the ads here. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @dogmcd Very good point on on computers/drives in the listening room, with the Mini I have my NAS in my office and my system in the living room streaming wirelessly with no issues at all. I would personally not want computers or drives in my liste... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini I use the Aries Mini and stream from my Synology NAS wirelessly and it works perfectly. No dropouts and it can play any file I throw at it. It can stream Tidal, Quobuz, and WiMP. I believe the Node 2 does all the same things never owned one but th... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? In your price range I would certainly look used to get more bang for your buck. This looks like a nice choice in your price range here:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-joule-electra-la-100-mk-11-excellent-condition-2017-04-02-pre...No relati... | |

Almost all of it great stuff that looking back I could have been happy with. I've ... |
