| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com The tube retailers that are selling Russian made tubes, if they are not already sold out, already bought those tubes and have them in stock in the USA or Canada. They aren’t going to be getting anymore. So you don’t have to feel guilty about buyin... | |
| Scam Alert Colleagues, I have done a ton of transactions with PayPal. I use it often and regularly. It is my main payment platform for everything because it serves as an intermediary between my credit card and the vendor, hopefully keeping my credit card sec... | |
| PANGEA AUDIO AC 14SE MKII SIGNATURE POWER CABLE OR WHAT? Having been down this power cable road for a while now, I have had an evolving opinion as to how much is worthwhile to spend to get the optimal power handling and SQ benefits. So having prefaced my recommendations I would recommend any of the foll... | |
| Tonality of Jay's Transport? I just got my Jay’s CDT2-Mk3. It’s built like a tank and is quiet. I don’t think it ads any color to the sound that I can tell. But there is a lot of factors at work here. Not just the transport. For me so far I am either playing direct via I2S/HD... | |
| streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1 I have an Auralic Aries G2.1 and it sounds great. I also have a LUMIN U1 mini that is currently sitting on the side lines. But may put it back in to compare. I have sold the Sonore UltraRendus that I used to own. | |
| Tube amp question FWIW I rolled from stock EL34s to KT150s on my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP integrated and it revolutionized the SQ from that integrated. Very happy with the decision to roll to the KT150s. | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health From OP: “…and is suffering nerve damage to his hands that will in just a matter of time compromise his ability to play.” Not doubting what EC is stating. But this reminds me of Peter Frampton made a similar public announcement. Yet I think he... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health The very first album I ever bought (back in the 70’s) was Derek and the Dominos “Live in Concert”. I played that on my Philips GA-212 turntable from Tech-Hifi and that kicked off the next post-AM radio phase of audiophilia that has lasted a LONG t... | |
| Russian tube supply issues @larsman I have watched that video. Thanks. | |
| Jay, cdt2 I am considering buying a Jay’s CD2-Mk3 and I already own a Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC and Gaia DDC. From my experience I can highly recommend Alvin Chee. He is exceptional. So pleasant working with him. His gear is of high quality. His support... | |
| Russian tube supply issues It appears that Upscale Audio has suspended tube sales from their website. I suppose you have to call and speak to a sales person. But my sense of things is that unless you have a really good story you may only be able to get only a replacement tu... | |
| Warning for Revel lovers I am very suspicious of any company within the Harmon group. I would be concerned about the situation that has occurred with Revel would happen, and here it has. I like to stay with companies that are independent and do not serve at the pleasure o... | |
| Jays cdt2mk3 Has anyone compared the Jay’s CD2-Mk3 to the Cambridge Audiogon CXC? (I am anticipating the response. But let me have it.). Thanks. | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? I have reconsidered my post above. Forget about Schiit amps with Maggies. There is not enough power and not enough headroom with them. Of the two, definitely get Bryston. Period. |
