| Outlaw RR2150 - Is there a better receiver? you can't beat the price and performance, I own one. as a plus it has a usb input so you can connect direct to your computer and play your music files. the dac is ok...big surprise, just get a decent usb cable like a Kimber. | |
| Have you been Shpongleized? I like Sphongle also, have several of their cd's....check out Richard Bone to continue this musical train of thought. | |
| Which integrated Amp, Almarro,Cayin,Red Wine? I own the Almarro and agree with the other poster's comments. The fun of the Almarro is swapping the 6SN7 tube to change the sonic presentation. The piece only has four tubes and they're inexpensive to replace. | |

I own the 99's an... | |
| simple question for ITunes users 256K is max resolution on Itunes...not even close to cd quality. | |
| Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case? replace when it won't hold bias or you hear a rushing sound or it becomes microphonic or the definition softens...tubes can blow and that's never a good thing for an amp....all that said, I wouldn't listen to anything but tubes....music tones soun... | |
| Transporter vs. Squeezebox Touch w/PS AudioDL-III I have been using a Boom in my kitchen since Xmas and like the internet radio and CD collection access from my computer....the user interface took me a month to really get comfortable with but it's fine. I've been considering a transporter to plug... | |
| how much tubes influence on the sound ??? since you are new to tubes I suggest you do not change any tubes until you have listened to your gear many, many months, then consult the manufacturer and have them tell you what tube changes influence the sound the most and go from there. Do very... | |
