| Midrange Increasingly Harsh I concur that tubes are the place to start looking, 5 years is a fairly long time for power tubes if you're listening with any frequency. | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files I can use bluetooth to stream music to my Auralic Aries G1 when the internet is out, I stream from Qobuz as my local files are on a NAS. Not exactly what you’re looking for but it is useful to me in a wifi outage. | |
| Luxman L-509X as a preamp It seems like a waste to buy an integrated and use it as a preamp? Also for the OP Patrick Rothfuss is dead to me! 😡 | |
| How long before they jump on this..? That does look really cool carpathian! However it's also describes as "green technology" so half the folks here will hate it. 🤣 | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under I've heard and liked Volti and also Charney Audio both have speakers in your price range. | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions The Jadis looks like a good choice and one thing to keep in mind when looking at a pushpull 300B amp is the massive retubing costs! | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Erik I understand vertical integration very well but you missed my main point if it made so much sense and so much more profit why do so few speaker makers make their own drivers? Because it's difficult and expensive to do, vertical integration m... | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 @hilde45 I am still a bit baffled by this he says not to use EL34s but you can use KT66 and 6L6 but also KT88s and KT150s? | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @erik_squires I still don't get it why would it be cheaper to make your own drivers vs buying them? And if it's so much cheaper why don't more speaker makers do it? I think its likely more expensive at least until you've amortized your startup cos... | |
| Cabasse 320 m3 Sloop Power Amp...compatibility question It won't hurt them no, it may not drive them to your complete satisfaction but the only way to find out is to try it. | |
| Why scratchy sounds Denafrips DAC to Drop AAA 789 I assume you don't listen to your headphones and speakers at the same time so why not just plug the headphone amp in when you need it? Seems like a small price to pay and not all components like being hooked up via more than one output. | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Erik this makes no sense to me why are in house or parts the company makes from scratch inferior? It would seem to me the builder can more closely spec parts and control tolerances. I'm not saying that every custom built driver is better than an o... | |
| Fisher MC-4022 Receiver Take it to a tech who specializes in vintage gear, what part of the world are you in? | |
| How serious are you? I listen to my system pretty much every day and evening so in terms of use/music listening a 10. My interest in gear seems to come in spurts but after my latest upgrades has dropped to say a 4. | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 @hilde45 If you can't use 6L6 or EL34 tubes it's likely you can't use KT66 or 77s either as they are each very similar to a 6L6 and EL34 tube respectively. |
