| Audiophile metal albums I'm not a metal head, although I really like Nu Metal. And Tool is awesome. | |
| Ethernet cables I heard a significant improvement in SQ after changing from CAT6 to Supra CAT8. Conductors are separately shielded.https://www.ebay.com/c/1640631596@c_avila1 Very interesting. I've researched using a LPS for a router, but never found conclusive ev... | |
| Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative? George, I agree with your statement. The digital and analogue circuits would be responsible for that. The marketing dept. probably wrote the copy.I offered the Border Patrol as an option with an interesting design. | |
| Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative? Border Patrol makes a Dac which has been getting some good buzz. It is R2R NOS solid state with no digital filters. Tube rectification is used which presents some great options such as a smooth presentation with the ability to change the attack an... | |
| Audiophile metal albums The problem with Metal albums is the high level of compression. Metal is and was a primary genre for the Loudness Wars. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? You can't assume one tube brand will have less noise than another, each tube must be individually tested. Gochurchgo: noise testing is a must on any tube you order, especially since it's been established that your system gain is high.I believe tub... | |
| Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative? know also that there are other very effective methods of delivering a smooth, relaxed, seductive sound from digital without tubesI think @jjss49 is alluding to a R2R NOS Dac which delivers these qualities. Tube or SS it delivers smooth organic son... | |
| Soliciting opinions on the necessity of credit card info when only selling Ha, that's funny. You have to decide which is the best deal. When selling a high priced item, it's probably better to pay a $50 or $100 flat fee rather than be billed hundreds based on percentage after the sale. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC No, what you think you hear is "natural". It is not, no more than vinyl sounds "natural", no more the analog tape is "natural". They are not natural, they are colored. You just happen to like that coloration and associate that with natural.Maybe t... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Just going on the many reviews other impressions I’ve read, if I were you I’d gravitate toward a tubed R2R NOS DAC such as the Audio Mirror Tubadour Mklll SE, etc. I believe several companies (AM, MHDT, Denafrips?) offer trial periods, and I think... | |
| Soliciting opinions on the necessity of credit card info when only selling There are two options when selling: pay Audiogon up front or pay a percentage based on the amount of the sale (they charge your card after the sale).Also, providing Audiogon with a CC on file cuts down on the amount of scammers trying to register.... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? And next, when we use the term quiet or noisy are we talking solely about the hiss in the speaker drivers ? A noisy tube will be just that. It will raise the noise floor through your system. IOW, where your system once had a black background, ther... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Brent Jessee sells high quality tubes. The catch is you must request noise testing; it's $10 per pair I believe. Depending on the circuit in your component you may need to use low-noise tubes. I only buy noise tested NOS tubes.Andy at Vintage Tube... | |

| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac In the Node settings there is clock trim adjustment. This will better the sync between Node to Dac. |
