| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. 200g discs make it better. And the high price makes it better. Too many new pressings for uninformed fools with money. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Many thanks @decooney . There's been so much written about the CV181, but it's not a drop-in replacement in some circuits. I'm looking for neutrality in a 6SN7 (similar to Sylvania). I'm awaiting delivery of a pair of Linlai E-6SN7's and if ther... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? I agree that Sgt. Pepper has a great amount of detail that has been revealed. It's more lively, noise-free with clarity, and a judicious use of compression. However, I find the overall timbre to be lean and thin in the highs. The type of tipped-up... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound My question is whether some units/designs might actually worsen the sound from source equipment. Theoretically, reducing noise in the electricity would improve blackness of background, exposing finer detail, as well as improve dynamics. Might it ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I’ve been following this thread since the beginning. There are many comments about the Psvane CV-181 but I don’t recall if the Psvane 6SN7-UK has been mentioned. Has anybody tried these tubes? I’d like to know how they compare to Linlai, 6SN7 UK v... | |
| Suggestions on minor upgrades to purchase Well, not a small tweak but your Marantz is the weak link. A really good tube preamp would perk that system up to the next level. That's true, but he probably needs the AVR for his HT. @tbwebd1435 , how many channels are you running through t... | |
| Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp? how can the PC suddenly provide more power on demand when you have all that smaller gauge wire in your wall? A dedicated line from the service panel isn't a small gauge wire, typically 10 or 12 gauge. And usually the amp is the only component... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 Does KR only manufacture power tubes? The only small signal tube is the Marconi. | |
| Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp? One of the most audible improvements in SQ was using a 8awg OCC PC from wall to my Equi=Core 1800. A 20A dedicated line to service panel is the point of origin. IMO, you need a large gauge PC to a toroidal conditioner to keep enough power on deman... | |
| Connecting Amp to speakers I’ve found that binding posts on speakers come in two widths. I think spades make better contact than bananas, but when I changed to my latest set of speakers, the spades were too wide. Luckily there are spades with a variable size... https://d... | |
| Connecting Amp to speakers I like BFA plugs, full surface-area coverage. Currently using locking bananas and am pleased with the connection over standard bananas. | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound What's the least expensive power conditioner/surge protector that won't worsen the sound? It sounds like you're hoping to get the Shunyata back. I agree with your thinking, find something for the mean time, then go back to the Shunyata or repl... | |

| BlueOs UI Question Yes, must be device related. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy, it works flawlessly. My only gripe is with Qobuz through BluOs, there's no way to change the sorting of the library. | |
| BlueOs UI Question You're most welcome. |
