| Ennio Morricone has passed away And "Once Upon a Time in the West." The list goes on and on.A brilliant composer. | |
| Loose fitting power cord. @noromance Makes sense, but some of these aftermarket cables make a tight electrical connection. It’s the smaller size of the molded termination that creates wiggle-room in the IEC.This is the case with my Audience PC’s.However, the OP's cable see... | |
| Bluesound node 2i @howardlander Wireworld and Cullen C7 cables provided an upgrade in sound; deeper bass extension, wider and deeper soundstage, and increased detail. The Wireworld is more detailed than the Cullen, both gave the Node more weight to the music.It’s g... | |
| Loose fitting power cord. Wrap the Teflon plumber’s tape around the termination of the PC. This will make it fatter and will be a tighter fit. I have used this method many times.If the cable is extremely heavy, I use a block of wood or heavy sponge rubber underneath the ca... | |
| Which is more important in transmitting the sound, the information... Maybe the OP didn't use the correct terminology, but I'll provide an answer to his query. Throw out the part about shaping the sound, it's vague and shouldn't apply. An equalizer and tweaks shape the sound.IME, the interconnects from CDP to preamp... | |
| Newb Tube question OP; I concur with the above comment about critical listening. During a listening session, even if you have high frequency hearing loss, you can discern the differences between tubes. Some are very obvious such as Telefunken (wide open transparent... | |

| Bluesound node 2i @howardlander It seems like you won't have any trouble using wifi in your neighborhood. I live in a city rowhome and had issues with neighbors (5gHz router).Regarding an ethernet connection, I changed to wired when I was tweaking my Node2i for bet... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Another bad Melz 1578. I ordered 3 pairs and like the first set, one tube is crackling after 50 hours of burnin. It's also microphonic; in between crackles I can hear the tube echo thru the speakers when I tap on my amp.These are all from 1980 and... | |
| The meaning of “Remastered” I agree to check the Steve Hoffman forums, just about every band and release has been discussed.Go to https://www.discogs.comto view a database of every release by a band/recording artist. It includes original issues with dates and country of orig... | |
| Newb Tube question First, you need to decide what is lacking in your music and how you want to change it. For example, if you want more detail or more extension in the bass, or if you want a warmer presentation, you can select tubes with the appropriate characterist... | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues @jea48 That's all great information; the position of the SPD relative to the main breaker and how using short wiring will clamp surge voltage. There are plenty of knock-outs available to do this correctly.Your explanation of having a low grounding... | |
| Newb Tube question NOS tubes are vintage tubes which sound better than new production which mostly come from Russia, although these tubes have been improving over the past few years.The Project website states that the Tube Box S2 phono stage uses ECC83 tubes which i... |
