| hi, i trying to to get my first system together Dangit, These are good suggestions from the group. As Zd originally stated, you need to go out and listen to understand what sounds best to you. This is especially true with a somewhat limited budget.Some like very efficient speakers driven by SET... | |
| Serial numbers I can't speak for Tidal, but my Horning speakers don't even have the brand name on them, so no identification. I've seen this before with handmade/boutique gear. Just saying. | |
| PC audio newbie looking for advice Silversurfer,There's new stuff all the time, so at one time Computer Audiophile favored J. River as a player. It works for me, but I do have a lot of different parts to my digital gear, that can complicate things.As I remember, I downloaded the JR... | |
| Media player Okay, so you're downloading/adding files to your iMac and putting them on your stick for playback through your Universal.I'm not sure how you fit 5,000 apple lossless files on a 256mb stick, when that file type is about the same size as Flac files... | |
| Media player Lse,Sounds great, but don't you have all those files on your stick backed up somewhere? | |
| PC audio newbie looking for advice Benchmark and other companies have analog to digital converters for ripping vinyl. That's all I know about that part.One of the best software products for ripping CDs is dBpoweramp. I used an auxillary computer with a fast CD drive to rip all of m... | |
| Media player I use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for all of my music files. This is simply a big hard drive that plugs into your home network.Working with the NAS, I have a small Computer with J. River Media Center installed. This too is on the home network... | |
| Looking for a Tuner Kit,If the Tuner is not going to be an integral part of your system, another fairly inexpensive option might be to get yourself a used Squeezebox Touch, instead. I have one and it's great for streaming music from all over the World. The sound is a... | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? If you plan on keeping your CJ gear, then the new TT combination needs to work best with what you have, so synergy. I agree with Lostbears about being able to hear the table first with your gear, but that's not always possible. You can also try ca... | |
| Looking for a Tuner Check out Audio Classics (audioclassics.com), because they have many tuners at different prices and can make repairs and upgrades if wanted. | |
| SET vs PSET Jet and Charles,I wanted to thank you for clearing up my split path comment, as I do have a push-pull amp and will be going SET. It sounds like with PSET the goal is to get both tubes of the parallel circuit to work exactly the same, because they ... | |
| SET vs PSET I knew I could count on you guys! Thanks, Kenny | |
| SET vs PSET Maybe, I can help jump start your post by providing a mediocre technical response. I think the purists may say, that the single SET tube option sounds best, because the entire signal going in, is the same signal coming out. So, the signal path is ... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? Regarding the Horning sound and using shows as a sound gauge, I've heard these at various shows, but then in a home system with a quality 845 SET. This was a game changer for me, so I bought the Aristoteles. I will be replacing my amp next. I too,... | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? I have changed my mind on the configuration, and I will use my NAS for file storage/playback.The Music Vault looks like a winner, however. |
