| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am with charles and grannyring on this one power supply and transformer quality being critically important on any tube amp. Never heard any of the Inspire amps but I will say I was very impressed with a Cary PP 2a3 integrated Vu lent me for few ... | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? There is no better answer than to try it both ways and see which you prefer. No one can tell you what sounds good but you so give it a try and report back! | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 45 Awesome glad to hear you are so happy with your new amp! I am an EL34 guy all way myself albeit with a different amp. If you haven't tried them I cannot recommend the Gold Lion KT-77 reissues high enough! They are the best EL34 variant I've heard ... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design ozzy glad to hear you're enjoying the amps and not already thinking about your next amp, at Audiogon we call that progress :-p. Seriously though have fun roll tubes and just settle into that sound for a while I am sure its going to continue to im... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I used to have AZ Silver Reference interconnects in my system and I would say the Cerious cables are markedly better in my system. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... And George stop calling us fusers we all have many other parts of our systems we love and are proud of its not just about the fuses. Oh and don't forget about music either. | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? @asahitoro I upgraded the power supply of my Mini with the Sbooster power supply which I picked up from Acoustic Sounds, it was around $350 as I remember made a huge difference. I personally go straight to my Dac from the Mini my Dac is an Audio N... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I've checked this thread out off and on but never posted to it, but thought I would throw my 2 cents in, just picked up a redbook only dac that's just knocked my socks off! It's an Audio Note Dac-3 Signature circa 1995. :-) Proof that newer is not... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini or Bluesound Node 2? +1 with ghosthouse, also a Mini user here and I really like the Lightning DS app but if you need Roon then the Mini is out. Lots of good feedback here on the Bluesound Node2 not sure if it can be a Roon endpoint but I'm sure someone will chime in.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @jetter please let me add to the kudos for you post well done and spot on as well as pleasantly amusing thank you! | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? Never cleaned a cable in my life. | |
| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 stu were you able to take your amp in for the audition? Never heard Neats but I've heard good things they may not sound clinical with tubes. I've heard the DeVore96 and agreed great speaker if you can afford it and have the room. Can you audition ... | |
| Selling vintage components People sell vintage gear here all the time, you have nothing to worry about. And your concerns about the amp "dying" are really I think overstated. The fact that it's had a recent refresh means it has a long life ahead of it. Also anyone buying an... | |
| Help choosing integrated @jjue indeed congratulations! Looking forward to hearing your impressions! Have fun! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I think everyone needs to perhaps take a deep breath and relax. abnerjack I agree with Charles Frank is a super nice helpful generous friendly guy who used a poor choice of words. It happens. Snowflake in fact was a somewhat poor choice of words.... |
