| Ruby el34s sound flat? I agree with the results of that comparison the Gold Lion KT-77 is a flat out great sounding tube and good value I've been getting matched burned in quads from Tonal Tubes for $170 and free shipping. Beat the pants off the JJ 6ca7 and Winged C EL3... | |
| Need amp suggestions for Hedlund Horns.... I would certainly also recommend Deja Vu Audio, fantastic single ended amps using a mix of new and vintage parts, talk to Vu he's incredibly knowledgeable about amp/speaker matching and horns in particular. No affiliation just a very satisfied cus... | |

| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? Sounds like a great plan to me! Happy listening! | |
| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? @raueda1 I can't find much online about the Mk3 but the Mk2 version of your dac looks pretty killer very robustly built with a serious looking power supply! And some great reviews as well. Assuming the Mk3 is built along the same lines it's undoub... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan I am with roxy54 here it's a bummer but not hard to see Viva's side of things either I am sure many dollars are lost to manufacturers/dealers via grey market goods. However I can understand them not doing upgrades but offering service and repairs ... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! @communique1 cool looking tables I checked out their site, any idea the pricing? | |
| Climbing the Preamp ladder How about this:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-jadis-jp-15-2016-09-15-preamplifiers-t5l0y5No affiliation with the seller but Jadis has a great rep for sound quality and looks like a great deal especially if you're looking for a bit more war... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @sbank Spencer I have not compared ethernet to wifi, my modem is in my office it would be about a 30 foot run of cable to wire up the Aries which to me sort of defeats the purpose of its functionality. My Synology NAS is hardwired to the modem/rou... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @ghosthouse there are only two wireless bands available to everyone 3.4ghz and 5ghz the 3.4 is the "legacy" network so to speak and carries much more traffic. Not all devices are 5ghz compatible but the Aries is as is your iphone. When you look fo... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @ghosthouse congrats! Setup was very easy should not take long at all plus Auralic has a good support staff who answered a few questions I had quickly. It sounds fine with the stock power supply, one thing I would recommend run it on the 5ghz ban... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @sbank Great looking room and system thanks for sharing and love the title! That's some badass looking power supply you have for the microRendu, similarly the Sbooster dwarfs the little Aries 10x5x3 and 4 pounds where the Aries is like two cd's st... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @sbank do you output the Sonore to a DAC? Looks like the output is USB only. I had my DAC, Yamamoto YDA-1, before I had a streamer so needed something with an RCA spdif output. I've added the Sbooster power supply to the Aries, $370 from Acoustic ... | |
| Two DACs for one system? What is your cd player? I think perhaps what folks are telling you is your cd player, and your Bluesound Node might both benefit from a better external Dac. You could then plug both your sources into that Dac and reap the benefits either streaming... | |
| Last CD player? To me the best allocation of resources would be to buy a high quality DAC, this would improve the quality of the 588 and give you the flexibility to listen to files and other sources through it. |
