| Vintage amps & power cords Sorry I misrepresented the price tag on my power cord it's $1.45 not $.05 and it is a grounded three prong cord. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank thanks for the rec and great title LOL! | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? There are a lot of good points here but the most important one I think is simply older can be every bit as good as newer sometimes better. Good design is good design, and well designed well built gear holds up well. Also a well designed point to p... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm with Charles here faith and religion being very tricky subjects which can tend to divide us, music on the other hand has a tendency to bring us together. For whatever that is worth. Sunday morning classical with Bach Trios by Yo Yo Ma, Chris ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @lousyreeds1 Thanks for the info I use an Audio Note Dac-3 Signature which is certainly on the warm side. I also have the Sbooster power supply which I thought made a nice difference in sound quality. Lightning DS can be buggy at times, my only pr... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @lousyreeds1 Thanks for that it's the first time I've seen an actual user comparison between the two! May I ask what Dac you're using with the Mini? And did you upgrade the power supply? And agreed I love Lightning DS also! | |
| 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 ... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles thanks Live at the Half Note is now queued up as well! It's going to be a late night listening thanks to you. :) | |
| 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. No issues whatsoever it drives them effortlessly, not sure what the exact specs are but sensitivity is eit... | |
