| Qobuz problems with the BluOS app? Thanks for the support link. The previous Blu update affected Android, I lived with the problem for weeks. | |
| Qobuz problems with the BluOS app? I can't speak to the results of this update, but the previous update screwed up the BluOs on my Android. For weeks, albums wouldn't load, hit play and the unit would buffer for 30 seconds. Too many problems to list, then one day it was working. De... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? +3 on adding room treatments. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Audio Note DAC4.1x. They manufacture their internal components including C-core transformers and caps. The company is well represented in the Far East including HK, Singapore, and possibly Malaysia. Their philosophy is to test for performance r... | |
| Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song? @2psyop If you're using a Node for streaming, there are tweaks to increase the SQ. I upgraded the stock PC to an aftermarket C7 power cord which provided an audible improvement. I recommend Wireworld or Cullen, about $100 to $150. Using an ethe... | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. +1 @russ69 . That's the truth. @jkontuly Normally I would say only replace the 2 power tubes. But if you truly have 1000 hours use, I suggest getting a quad. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl @lwin Most unfortunate. Thanks. | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. @jkontuly if the bias pot had range when turning left and right, then the amp is ok. However, you want to make sure that bias will remain steady and not drift. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @bugredmachine How were they packaged? In the nice display case or in 2 standard tube boxes? I received damaged tubes in the thin paper tube boxes. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl Was Fear Inoculum only released as a box set? Has there been any news if there will be a standard album release? Waiting all these years for a new album and the price is $179. | |
| Cornwall 4 vs JBL horn under $10,000 Very nice realistic vocals with the JBLs. Guitar is very nice, realistic. Guitar is there in spades through the Klipsch. Too much presence on the vocals, that’s the two horns used by Klipsch. My 2 cents. If it were me, try and audition JBLs or A... | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. Do you have a spare EL34? You really need to see if a tube will bias in that slot. It's possible you'll need a new resistor. Better to find out before buying a new quad and not being able to play them. | |
| Tubes getting hard to come by? @whart That’s true about NOS inventory. I noticed about 2 - 3 years ago my favorite dealers were slow to restock premium and popular tubes. That’s when I decided to buy backup pairs of rare and holy grail tubes. I also learned my lesson buying f... | |
| Tubes getting hard to come by? NOS 12AX7s have also been affected by the tube shortage. Prices for premium types have increased. | |
