| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? A mint Garrad 301. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? If you sign up for the SHF forums you could ask the question there you would likely get some good responses. And I would say give the AN resistors a shot they do make excellent sounding parts. | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? @habermas I guess it just goes to show everything is synergy and I hope your new Zafino cables work out well for you! | |
| Deceptive Connectors And yet sometimes brass can sound better. | |
| Cable for Transport to Dac No preference it depends on the equipment and cable. That being said BNC is basically a superior version of spdif so should be better than RCA. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? You should try the Steve Hoffman Forums this thread, lots of good info and some AN dealers as well as Peter Q post there. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/strictly-for-fans-of-audio-note-uk-all-things-audio-note-uk.422880/page-299 | |
| Experiment, Experiment; What have been your most successful finds? Thanks Erik I knew I'd read that name someplace before I'll give REW some thought but in a place as small as mine it may not make a difference. | |
| The Solution to Vinyl Pops & Crackles! That was legit funny thanks. | |
| Experiment, Experiment; What have been your most successful finds? Ok serious question here how does one measure their room? I suspect a mic and software of some sort? | |

New speakers in that time frame also and a new streamer. Also cycled through lots of ca... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? I run a preamp which uses 6 x 6DJ8's and the sound is as Bigkidz describes though perhaps a touch of warmth. Never had a 6SN7 preamp in my system always been curious. | |
| Experiment, Experiment; What have been your most successful finds? Since you mentioned a laser measure I'll say that bought one a few months back finally and realized how out of whack my speakers were. Dialed in positioning and voila better sound. | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Based on your mention of tonal color I would suggest Auditorium23 based in Germany fantastic copper cables. Don't let the relatively affordable pricing fool you these are serious cables. | |
| Looking for a new digital cables. Has anybody heard these? Get a Jorma Digital cable if you can I think new $1500 but you should be able to find them cheaper if you look. | |
| Lector 603 CD player I have heard Lector players but not sure which models but they sound fantastic just as Larry describes. |
