| Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs) If you're looking for more warmth try an amp that uses EL34's and get a set of Gold Lion KT-77's. It's a great sounding tube that was far better than PSvane, not the regular EL34 I tried a pricey vintage PSvane Philips reproduction tube, great pac... | |
| Opinions Please: Daily proliferation, several dealer/distributor ads,.. I would agree but in my opinion it's fine when dealers post used or demo gear a lot of those ads are good gear at good prices. But what really annoys me and many others it seems, is the constant relisting even of used gear. As someone who scans Ne... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? I would imagine a Line-2 upgraded for $1K today would probably smoke anything you can buy around $2500 and I would certainly personally suggest staying with tubes for your preamp. Pretty sure the Line-2 is well built with a large outboard power su... | |
| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! The Grateful Dead and Phish all members. | |
| recommend a NAS? Hi Rob I just recently picked up a Synology DS214 play and a pair of Western Digital Red 4TB hard drives for about $575 total from Amazon. The NAS has been fantastic utterly reliable and my files stream much better fewer dropouts and also sound be... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? If you think vodka tastes like nothing, and most do, try Boyd & Blair Potato vodka from western PA. It has amazing texture and a hint of butterscotch on the nose, really great and atypical vodka. | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi umn if you can connect the Bluesound to your router via ethernet or usb and then connect a NAS drive up to the router, you should be in business. You would be with Sonos and I'm assuming the Bluesound works basically the same. | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi Sonos works fine with Tidal which is not hi-rez but is lossless. It will not do hi-rez recording but that's not an issue for me. However in the scenario above other units can be substituted for the Sonos. I would assume the Bluesound Node could pr... | |
| Opinions Needed! As someone said you should not be having to replace the small signal tubes, the 12ax7 and 12au7's twice a year, or even once a year for that matter. Small signal tubes should last a very long time, my own amp uses 3 6SN7's up front, different amp ... | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi Is your modem router in the same room as your stereo? If so you could do something like hardwire a Sonos connect to your router and then hardwire a hard drive or NAS to your router. Then run a digital cable from the Sonos to your Peachtree. If the... | |
| Placement of DAC It also wouldn't hurt to put some isolation between the DAC and CD player something squishy like a vibrapod perhaps. And definitely coax. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks There are some people doing some very nice stuff with matrixing aka adding crowd noises back in to great sounding soundboards. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Also 5/15/70 which is Road Trips Vol 3 is totally amazing. | |
| Is a KT-77 a plug in for a KT-88? It's a replacement for the EL34, or at least very close was an easy drop in for my amp. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Dick's Pick 4 and I've only hear about five of the Dave's Picks nothing really has stood out to me. |
