| ***Advice Needed***Choosing Between Mini & Midi Monitors So I was at Deja Vu Audio yesterday and saw this new system from Nola called the Brio Trio, the link wasn’t working so cutting and pasting some text... NOLA introduced its Brio Trio satellite/ subwoofer loudspeaker system at CES 2016: a compact, h... | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. As others have said summer is usually slower and also a lot of folks who've been doing this a long time are getting to the point where they make changes more infrequently. I know I used to churn through a lot of gear but not my $ is mostly spent o... | |
| No Name Tube Amp & Turntable DIY? Looks homemade and very well built with some serious caps and transformers. I would guess home built but not from a kit. Can't comment on the TT. | |
| From Wadia to ??? You might consider the Exogal Comet, Exogal was started by Wadia's former engineers and the Comet has gotten some rave reviews. I've not heard it, or Wadia for that matter, but suspect the house sound might be similar. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Oh no getting on a Delta flight tomorrow at 7am! Wish me luck all! LOL | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? This was posted in another thread it's a bit vague but seems relevant.http://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/6972/high-resolution-audio-you-can-hear-me-now?id=%2D13...I don't to hi-rez at all myself. | |
| Really cool Japanese commerical-Cassette Tape Dominos Cool sent that to a bunch of friends thanks. None of us ever had Technics tapes though we were all Maxell guys. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Ghosthouse as soon as I wrote my last post I in fact started thinking about remasters. And in terms of recordings made from analog tape and transferred to digital it's as they said in the early days of cd to paraphrase.....'This recording my revea... | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? Congrats and happy listening and please do let us know how it all sounds! | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? kingdombuildingcon it's no problem mixing ss and tubes assuming there are no impedance mismatches or anything but I think, and others here too, that a tubed preamp is the way to go. In fact many do the reverse of what you propose and pair a tubed ... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Ghosthouse no recording engineer records at 320kbps, the info in the larger box is in fact there and compressed to fit the smaller box not the other way around. You've basically made the point I was attempting to make for me. These days most recor... | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? A huge difference in my opinion the preamp makes a bigger impact on sound quality than an amplifier. And going from a receiver to even a modest well designed tube preamp should really be a quantum leap forward in sound quality. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Ghosthouse I just don't see how compressing a signal and shaving off bits, or however it's done sorry not an engineer, can't make it worse sounding. If compression is lossy then there is a loss of information right? It seems to make common sense t... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables ozzy and kclone I would concur as good as the interconnects are, and they are really great cables, the speaker cables are truly special. I can't imagine a better sounding speaker cable anywhere near the price point or many times higher. I also lov... | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 I picked up an entry level Edge M4 SS amp to try out a while back and was quite impressed, it was a 70w per channel amp and it sounded quite good and I am a tube guy all the way.
