I would use Pioneer player in the interim and invest in a high quality streamer with internal hard drive so you can enjoy bit perfect rips of your CD’s.There are plenty of softw... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? +1, tvad and almarg. @hilde45. Only you know what kind of sound you’re after. In reading your various threads, it seems you’re building your audio system from ground up for the long haul by considering amp, preamp, DAC and so on. My post about hig... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @hilde45,I did not say, it will be impossible to drive 90db speakers with tube amplification. Have you tried comparing SS vs Tube amplification with you 90db speakers? Do you honestly think you can drive 90db speakers comfortably with a 8W SET amp... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @hilde45,All good points, I would steer clear of linear sounding tubes in preamp or amps if you want to enjoy and experience rich harmonic ‘distortions’ associated with good tube gear....otherwise stick with SS gear.

| Luxman d-08u vs berkeley reference 2 dac “I have the Berkeley alpha 2 and it sounds very musical to me but I do like a very sweet and nonfatiguing sound”. @aerialacoustics, In reading your response, I believe you may be experiencing fatigue over extended listening sessions. If that’s the... | |
| Basic Digital questions Personally, I don’t like laptop anywhere near my audio system. I understand you have a need for laptop for office use so I would buy one and use it for that purpose and for streaming video content off Netflix and Amazon. I recommend Bluesound Node... | |
| Luxman d-08u vs berkeley reference 2 dac One is purpose built SOTA DAC and the other one is primarily a transport with a DAC (albeit a good one)....is that even a fair comparison? Having said that, I would go with Luxman as the sound lean towards warm side of neutral. Berkeley is more ne... | |
