| issue with preamp Sounds like you have a tube going bad. For starters, swap the left channel tubes with the right channel tubes and see if the distortion moves to the other channel. That will confirm that the issue is in the tubes.next, you can simply replace the ... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I just bought the DSD download of companion for $25 at acoustic sounds, a fair price. Are you using hard drive based music yet or only discs? | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement There are plenty of affordable hifi components on the market from several manufacturers. I am not familiar with the one you mentioned but I think an enjoyable system can be assembled with a reasonable (meaning not astronomical) budget.What do you ... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? Not a single thing!though I went through a hifi growth spurt when the dollars were flowing like wine around 2010 :-) | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Music is of course quite subjective, hence the people saying nasty things about Barber in this thread. The first album I had was Cafe Blue, and I think it is outstanding. I love almost every track. I had seen her live at The Green Mill in Chica... | |

| Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music True, i forgot to mention that my ps Audio bridge is connected via Ethernet Cable to router and then to computer. I use an older Mac mini, used for Audio only. Love the setup. Control it with my iPhone. | |

| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? @almarg Hello Al,so, I have read, re-read, researched, and digested. I found some other threads discussing balanced and unbalanced that you also posted on. I now feel that I have a reasonable working understanding of the concept.I do have some mo... | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? Al, you rock. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think I will have to re-read your post a few times to properly digest it and understand it fully! You have some serious knowledge. Thank you!- Mark | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection?
