| I have a blue book question The ESL 57's should be worth a fair amount depending on condition. I see a few pairs for sale in the $3-4K range. You can always check www.hifishark.com for used prices on current and past sales. Obviously condition of the items is very important ... | |
| Preamp or not. I'd say in your setup likely overkill I'm guessing the phono stage on your Cronus is pretty solid. That said if you can get a Jolida from someplace with a return policy it might be worth checking out. | |
| Hum mystery to me This is not clear did you ever run table 2 into the phono pre and then into your preamp? And if so did you get hum? If not you need to try this. | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? I only stream and I only stream complete albums. | |
| Same Dance but New Step Nice outcome stringreen and another data point for me to avoid vinyl. 🤣 | |
| Tube vs Solid state for Preamp Definitely stay with tubes if a Krell 350 watt amp can't do low end it's on the amp not your preamp. Are there better tube preamps than the AI? Sure do you have a budget in mind? | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? I agree with this let roomgoers put their own music on not only does this show them that your gear can play their music I have consistently found that I like rooms better that play good music. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Auralic and most streamers really can use LMS it's UPNP and most streamers are compatible with that. That said you never know you may find a streamers app better I personally love the Auralic LDS app. I did use LMS back in the day with my old Sque... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I turned my laptop speakers up all the way and I still can't hear that graph. So no comment. | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? I am using Blue Jeans ethernet cables just wanted to give something better than basic computer cables a try. At $17 each they were cheap and gave a nice improvement in the area of system clarity. | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem @charles1dad Very much agreed and glad you enjoyed it! | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem @charles1dad If you or anyone else is interested here is some writing on the Ankoru but Andy Grove the designer, interesting stuff. Â | |
| Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age RIP Mr Betts. | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem I am personally a big fan of a well designed Class A triode wired pushpull amp using a variety of tubes, EL34, KT77, KT66, 6L6, 5881. And I agree those aren't good speakers for an SET amp. | |
| blast from the past I'm blown away you have CC receipts from 1973! |
