| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @tksteingraber thank you | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @tksteingraber Thanks for the insight. The Bricasti looks well built. I'm not interested in ROON and it was unclear on their website if it has native support for streaming services like Qobuz? Does it have it's own controller app and if so, how i... | |
| Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers + whatever for Harbeth, I have the 30.2 XDs with a pair of REL subs, love them. The HL5s yogi posted look like a good deal. They are not the best for loud rock though, which is fine for me, rock is not what I sit down and pay attention to, but ev... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality @falconquest Thanks for clarifying. There are multiple causes of tinnitus. I have a friend who developed hearing loss and tinnitus after taking an antidepressant - a known side effect. Mine was caused by being too close to a speaker array in a ni... | |
| Zavfino +1 I'm waiting on a reply from Ray and will pass that on. | |
| Tube rolling newbie- how to choose NOS tubes complete waste of time and money to buy nos or other tubes without significant run in time for your new component…. burn in, listen critically, discern where you want to go I disagree with this. Many manufacturers of tube-based gear ship their ... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality @falconquest Tinnitus is not an ear problem! Then what is it? I have tinnitus. I use the Rain app to help me sleep. And I get more wax build up in one ear. Please do not buy any contraption to clean your ears - here is the best / safest way... | |
| Zavfino @thyname @lalitk @juanmanuelfangioii The Nova’s are directional, and it matters...guess how I know? Thanks to thyname, I realized my right speaker cable was reversed. I just switched the direction. The difference was obvious immediately. The ... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @dadork Yep, the bitterness goes really deep in the Final Cut. I really like this album but it's a commitment to listen to. Very well recorded - in Paranoid Eyes you can hear that the 'Colonel' walking to the pub has a limp and is walking on wet... | |
| Tube rolling newbie- how to choose NOS tubes +1 for Brent Jesse his advice is top notch and his return policy is more than fair. Basically you pay for shipping and get to try something else within 30 days no risk. But definitely let the stock tubes break in if the DAC is new and get used to... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Great analogy OP. Baylinor, I drink way more wine than beer, but beer has become as complex and interesting as wine and audio. As others have stated, a somm must be able to identify a wine in detail, blind, to get certified, and there are dif... | |
| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? +1 on 1 more REL. I have 2 - I believe in stereo pairs - and they are nicely/easily integrated with the mains, and get some bluejeans ethernet cables cut to specific lengths. | |
| STREAMER @dougthebiker Each to his own I guess, but why so cagey - no one is going to sue you! (I hope). Your post would be much more useful if you shared the PCs you auditioned. A recommendation for what the OP should use isn't implied in sharing what w... | |

| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @thespeakerdude There is a long list of musical artists over the years who can’t / couldn’t read/write sheet music. True, but perhaps an equally long list of those that can. The great Oscar Peterson comes to mind. His scores are complex! As... |
