| 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. So I saw thishttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-edge-elec... | |
| 300B SET vs.Triode Strapped KT150's??? What are the amps in question? I would say unlikely though in all honesty I have yet to hear the KT-150 tube. I will say however that to my ears tube rectification makes a big difference and sounds far superior to SS rectification. YMMV. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Listened to a chunk of it last night it was ok nothing special. Sadly David is running out of really good shows to release. | |
| I can't play a recording all the way through Try not just listening to songs even listen to entire albums. That's what I usually do and I feel like it really helps draw me into the music rather than using the system as a jukebox. And congrats on the new system! | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? I would have to agree with cerrot on all counts above 320kbps just does not cut it. The Lightning DS app I use displays the sample rate of what’s playing though it varies it’s usually in the 1000kbps range with Tidal as well as my own recordings t... | |
| Sonic Frontier Line 3 vs McIntosh C2500 fijunc I would say it's probably a better allocation to go the upgrade route, the preamp you have is well made with a robust power supply. And upgrade and refresh of older parts after 15 years may be a bit of a revelation soundwise, and I don't kn... | |
| Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker cooper very nicely written and informative review thanks for posting it. I had a good/bad experience with my own Wyred Remedy, I picked mine up used off Agon in like new condition and inserted it between my Sonos Connect and Yamamoto YDA-1. Nice i... |
