| tube preamp repair - southern NJ / Phila. area / Wilmington, DE area I second the Deja Vu rec and also repair issues aside the preamp is probably due for a general refresh at that age, perhaps some new caps etc. Updating an old unit is often a very cost effective way to get nice improvements in sound quality! | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant great pics your room is lovely and the speakers look great! But how are you listening to music as you wait to put it together? | |
| Bluesound products to add to hifi satisfaction? I'm the one who recommended the Aries Mini to Ghosthouse, glad your still enjoying it so much, and agree with what he says, with a few of my own observations. I never had an issue going straight to my DAC via the coax spdif output, obviously total... | |

| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? +1 on Zu high efficiency and full range is a great combo for rock. | |
| Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it? kalali I see it on the lightning DS app that controls the Aries that I run on my ipad mini. One oddity I’ve noticed on Tidal I’ve come across one or two recording that are designated higher sampling rates. One was 96 khz the other was 192 khz but ... | |
| Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it? kalali when I stream Tidal on my Aries Mini it dispays the sampling rate below the track playing, pretty much always 44.1 khz 16 bit with kbps fluctuating I assume due to network wifi speeds. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I believe the expression is "falling down a K-hole" I've not heard much of people really remembering or appreciating music but I guess its possible. And @danvignau I can't say I've ever personally come across peyote but if I did I would certainly ... | |
| Resale value I can't believe tonykay and cleeds are arguing about the stock market and liquidity come on guys relax it's stereo equipment! On the subject of resale value while I don't strictly consider it I do feel like I have a pretty good sense of what is a... | |
| Air Tight ATM-3, ATM-1 or Thalmann modded CJ Premier Fives? @montaldo I used to own an Air Tight ATM-1 and I would say its a nice amp, very solid and on the neutral end of the tube sound spectrum, I admired it more than I really loved it. But I had it in my earlier days as an audiophile and wasn’t much int... | |
| Is there a market for the Dennis Had/ Cray Audio Tuned Pipe design Speakers Sorry that wasn't very nice of me and I would imagine there would be interest. I used to have a pair of Soliloquy 5.3's solid speakers and very nice looking. They are pretty old designs though so not sure how much you might get but the 8.2 was the... | |

| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice @sjtm the sbooster sells for $370 and the Aries Mini is $499 so that's $870 but the good news is if thats too big an investment you can do it in stages. Also the other posters are right just use the DAC in your SA8004 you already own it and obviou... | |
| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice I second or 3rd or whatever the Auralic Aries Mini I think it's great and not just for the price. Upgrade the wall wart power supply to a linear supply like the Sbooster, around $300 and run it to a good outboard DAC and you have a very good sound... |
