| Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III Here's a thought and one that's worked for me really well throughout the years, first of all always buy used cables the depreciation is fast and furious. If you buy used and are reasonably patient and get a general idea of what things cost you can... | |
| tube amp and spotify Rsimms I'm a bit baffled as well I can't imagine the sound levels between Spotify and Tidal being so widely different as to cause that problem. What speakers are you using and what are you driving them with? And if the room correction limits sound... | |
| tube amp and spotify You really should consider ditching Spotify for Tidal. There is no comparison sound quality wise. Tidal's catalog is smaller but still pretty vast, it's well worth the $20 a month they charge. | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova 220SE price drop It's also possible the stronger dollar is helping though I know nothing about Peachtree and where the gear originates from. | |
| Sun Audio Importer According to Sun's website they are not currently imported into the US at least it's not on their list of agencies. However there are a number of Sun amps on ebay right now from international sellers. Short of finding a used amp stateside that's p... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Wow I can't believe I never saw this thread before! Anyway I picked up my current speakers, the original version of the JMlabs Micro-Utopia back in 2006. We had just bought our condo and it was quite smaller than our previous place so I traded a g... | |
| Preamp/ amp repair recommendations in S. Fla? Tom Tutay is, or used to be in Fort Walton Beach FL, don't know what part of FL that is sorry, but Tom is an outstanding tech that specializes in tubed gear. The company is called Transition Audio Designs. | |
| Compressing Music Files For Thumb Drive In Car db Poweramp is a great file conversion program, I usually use it to rip discs to flac but pretty sure you can rip flacs to MP3's and other files as well. Google it there's a ton of info or do a search here it's been discussed quite a bit. | |
| Is very good DAC a waste with Sonos Connect? Perhaps focus less on technology and more on sound quality? To wit my Sonos feeds a decidedly low-tech Yamamoto YDA-1 dac with to me really stunning results. So yes a dac will improve your Sonos just don't necessarily buy by specs or numbers. | |
| Squeezebox/Roku Modern Equivalents? I had a Squeezebox Duet and moved to a Sonos Connect and I much prefer the Sonos. Easier interface, less buggy, and more choices for music. Hooked on streaming Tidal through my Sonos and it sounds great feeding my Yamamoto dac. | |
| Spotify or Pandora I second Tidal I had Spotify and was unhappy with the sound quality, Tidal made a night and day difference. Pandora I just use occasionally for background music not serious listening. | |
| Genalex Gold Lion KT-77 Compatibility Question Thanks for all the responses I will drop by and see Vu I just thought this issue might be more tube related since it only occurs with the KT-77s and no other tubes. If it's a difference in channel bias on the amp why haven't I had an issue with ei... | |
| Genalex Gold Lion KT-77 Compatibility Question It's Deja Vu push-pull amp and you can't adjust the bias not sure if its fixed or self adjusting. | |
| Best A'gon System Well my favorite system is mine because I get to listen to it!http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1160518623&viewNot sure how to make a hyperlink here sorry. | |
| Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? So did anyone actually read the piece? He was very reasonably pointing out to someone that cost no object means different things to different people. Additionally he told the questioner what a more appropriate price range might be for his speakers... |
