| Mountain and Cactus "Theme from an Imaginary Western" and "Nantucket Sleighride," what beautiful music.And of course "Mississippi Queen" has been an anthem for every garage band, including mine.I've Got A Fever And The Only Prescription Is More Cowbellhttps://www.you... | |
| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? Thanks wolf, very nice explanation. I'm not sure what the freq. range of the objectionable mid-high to high of these digital pressings are. Perhaps in the 5kHz to 8k? I wonder if there has ever been testing done.It's sad so many classical recordi... | |
| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? @wolf_garcia I like hearing how transparent the Loki is.My previous post...since this is only a 4 band EQ, how tight is the range and roll off for each frequency setting? ie, would you use both 8kHz and 2k to treat harsh highs on early production... | |
| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? @roberjerman, I've always loved the SAE stacks. It's been my goal to put one together as a 2nd system.But how would a vintage SAE EQ compare today as far as low noise, transparency, soundstaging?I've used many SOTA parametrics in analogue studios... | |
| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? Understood lak. But I've worked to play my system flat without eq. It's those damn early harsh CDs and the poorly mastered ones that need some EQ. For the most part I could use the bypass. | |

| Looking for a Optical (toslink) cable Also found Lifatec to provide very good sound. And very good pricing for a glass cable. | |
| Warm HDMI cable? I didn’t know Oppo’s I2S/HDMI was compatible with PS Audio. Anyway, I liked the Cardas cable. Similar warmth to their analogue line; musical and non-fatiguing. | |
| Is this out there Good call, amg56. The Wakeman stuff is like a soundtrack.For another concept album I’ll add Jethro Tull "A Passion Play." | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? When all we had was vinyl some of that was to be expected at the level of equipment I had available so I never thought anything of it. (Would cleaning help that? I don't know.) My point in all this is that if that is not acceptable I would be reti... | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? Sorry for the confusion about pricing. It's just that I'm passionate about good tubes and don't want to see anybody get ripped off. 😄 | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? I suspect that some of these "NOS" 6SN7's (and others) may be used "pulls" in old boxes! It's very common to have nearly new tubes sold as NOS. Test measurements should be included with all tubes. Also, a TS 6SN7GT or GTB from the 1950s or 60s sh... | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? Marco may be offering the best advice, early Russians have good sonics. But if it was me, i would inquire which type of Tung-Sol they are offering. It should be an Oval-plate for a price that high. I have one from WWII era in my preamp and paid ab... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? The Zerostat works if it's non defective and used correctly. It may take more than one zap. It seems that many have received defective units, so test it with some cellophane or similar static-sensitive material.Good advice. I have a Discwasher Zer... | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? With regard to Amperex Bugle Boys, they are one of the most counterfeited tubes. They’re found on Ebay.I'm not saying yours were fakes, but don't trust Ebay. |
