| SS Substitute for Tube Integrated? Wondering now if any tubes at all are going to be available in the short-to-medium term and…..well, who knows. This morning my go to EL 34s we’re looking more expensive by the hour seemingly. Tonite, my go to supplier appears to be out of ALL EL... | |
| SS Substitute for Tube Integrated? @ghdprentice The problem is with intermittent income and ramifications thereof that are myriad and complicated. $200/yr. for vacuum tubes is doable for me. Much more than that and I’ve no choice but to go back to the lower-maintenance alternati... | |
| Volume normalization with Tidal and Bluesound Node 2(i) I’m pretty sure I don’t have volume normalization enabled with my Node 2i but recently had sudden lowering of volume (invariably, close to the end of songs) with my Tidal app coming from my iPhone to an Airport Express in a 2nd system. Somehow, vo... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? Infinity QLS-1s. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Recently replaced some thinnish speaker wire (prob. obtained at Radio Shack eons ago) with Canare 4S11 and it does sound quite a bit better to my ears. 2nd system in a workshop/art studio environment… | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Don’t know if this will be usable info being that my experience has involved MUCH less expensive amps and temps that were generally in the high 20s at their coldest (coastal TX) but I’ve run a 100 w/ch receiver for 10 yrs plus out in a metal shed ... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? I’d always been interested in having the best sound system that was feasible for me but there were decidedly “juvenile” ideas as to how to do this along the way….My first real severely-coveted sound system related item was a canary yellow, spheric... | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence I like a 75% musical/euphonic-to-my-ears to 25% accuracy ratio. | |
| JBL L36 My L-65s, which I bought new in 1978, have had a similar history….Refoamed them once at about the two decade mark and haven’t really heard any other speakers I’d want to sell them in order to afford. They’ve seen a variety of amps/sources across ... | |
| Primaluna? I’ve had a PL Prologue Classic integrated since 2019 and am thrilled with it! It has been my only tube amp and, like many others, I’m hooked now. I’ve sorta wished I’d have held out for one of the higher models that feature the bad tube indicators... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road, IMO, insofar as the Beatles….Gregg Allman’s “Laid Back”, Bryan Adams “Reckless” and “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” are three others that meet that standard in my book. | |
| NAD C316BEE V2/Subwoofer dilemma… Thanks!! The “how to connect” info on speaker level inputs in the sub manual should’ve been a research item of mine early on and It’s answered every question I’ve had here! | |
| NAD C316BEE V2/Subwoofer dilemma… That’s what I was thinking (that the speaker level inputs on the SVS would make everything a simple matter)…..The monkey-wrench-in-the-gearbox (or not??) seems to be related to the NAD’s lack of any pre-outs coupled with having only connections fo... | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. For me, the sound quality of streaming has reached good enough status (I’m a Tidal subscriber.) and my turntable use has dwindled to practically nothing. My CD player died a couple of years back and I don’t anticipate replacing it. Of course, soun... | |
