| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? The one thing the JJ’s are very good for is filling the spot when you ship for repair or to sell the gear. 👍👍👍 | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG I own both Aurender and Innuos products and think both are outstanding. If you read enough forums you’ll undoubtedly find something bad being said about one or the other or both. My comment above was intended to be cute but after rereading it pr... | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG After watching the YouTube video of their research and production facility and interviews with the founders I too am surprised to hear something negative about Innuos. But I guess looks can be deceiving. | |
| network switches and cables. @kennyc Network Acoustics seems to be one of the more respected brands. You mention the Muon and Ethernet filter. Did you mean NA switch and Muon filter? If yes, did you try other switches before NA and how did they perform? | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG This is an interesting question. I have not compared the N20 to the NG but I did compare the N20 to the Innuos Pulsar. It was in a dealers showroom so the audition only lasted a couple of hours with components I really wasn’t that familiar with.... | |
| network switches and cables. Thanks again everyone for your contributions. As the saying goes, until you try it in your own system, you’ll not know what differences might await you. I think I’ll do a switch with a new “good” network cable between the switch and my streamer.... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @traubr Go figure indeed. Very interesting results you had. No doubt the Pontus 15th is an excellent player, particularly for the price. Are you using the Iris with your new Terminator? What streamer do you use? Is the Terminator fully broken... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC Have not heard the Pontus 15th, so “feel” is the appropriate word. But yes, I think that the original Terminator will outperform the Pontus 15th. Why, I remember reading (if I can find it I’ll post it) that Alvin once compared a Venus II to the ... | |
| Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes… 4 ohms, 85db speakers are probably not the best match for tubes. With that said I hear little difference in low level listening dynamics using either my Atma-Sphere 30w tube amp or 100w Class D amps with my QLN 8 ohm, 87.5db easy to drive speaker... | |
| Tube amp/ preamp advice I’d stay away from flea powered amps. 800 sq.ft.is still a good size area. You’ll need power particularly if you are going to crank it. Years ago, I had a friend who converted his garage into a party room. About same size as your loft. He had ... | |
| network switches and cables. @jazzman7 @mgrif104 thanks very much to you both. This is exactly the type of feedback that is very helpful to me. @sns although on the other hand I find it interesting that with the modem/router in the same room as the streamer, as is my case (... | |
| Tube amp/ preamp advice Are you sure you mean 2800 sq. ft. not 280. If 2800 you’ll need some power, even with La Scala's. Maybe someone with theater amplification experience will chime in. | |
| Looking for Advice on My Nearfield Setup – KEF Q350 + Yamaha A-S501 + Topping E30 II Speakers are much too high and far apart too. Sound currently is shooting over your head. Should be on 24” stands and probably no more than around 5 ft. apart. I’d start with speaker placement and go from there. Component selection and compatibili... | |
| Seeking a recommendation for 12Au7 tubes for Conrad Johnson ET6SE preamplifier Very nice unit. The phono section takes 3 tubes, 12ax7 and 12au7 depending on high or low gain if your unit is equipped with phono. Line takes 1ea 6922. Unless things have changed. Be very careful with OS tubes in the phono. Most will be too ... | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners @grannyring very interesting that you were able to eliminate your switch and muon filter. I recently upgraded to the Pulsar from an Aurender N200 with the biggest improvement being how much quieter the Pulsar is. I too was able to eliminate my (... |
