| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @thatkenziegirl In this case be wary and do your research and listen with your ears. Yes, half of us keep saying this and the other half clearly do not. They instead "decide" what will sound best, or what will not sound better. Seems reall... | |

| Check This Out! LOL! His and hers, I totally agree! Make sure she doesn't feel left out! I was going to say the phono stage kinda looks even more like a sink, as the tubes almost look like the faucet: | |
| Check This Out! @lalitk I am happy with what I have, mainly curious what these Cinnamon guys have done as far as the streaming taking into account the good reviews of their converters, and how it may compare with other streamers. Yes it is just an endpoint; not... | |
| Takatsuki 300B $255 !! @williesaid You are welcome. I think the upper ranges are magnificently done with them, but perhaps at a cost in the lower frequencies so they lack that 300B fullness at times. If you want to trade your Tak’s for my Gold Lions let me know- sho... | |
| Check This Out! Maybe once the metal dust settles you may consider trying their network transport? Anyone heard this at Colin's? I assume he has it paired up with the DAC? I'm glad I don't have a turntable, or I might consider their phono stage. Perhaps other... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? @mgrif104 Never heard of that one. Thanks for the info. This may be interpreted by some as enlightening, others may interpret it as pure lies, so be it: Reiki founder Nigel Bell comes from an IT background and like many others doubted the be... | |
| Takatsuki 300B $255 !! @williesaid @wsrrsw It's subjective, system matching, preferences etc. I am a lover of resolution and detail over warmth, I love my Weiss DAC for that reason, so I think I will go for Tak's as my 300B tube upgrade. I'm old enough to know me, and... | |
| SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS 1. Change amps to perhaps a tube amp or a first watt, an amp designed to sound good at less than one watt, which is where you are listening. I think that is excellent advice. Give that a shot first. I don’t know your ML’s, but I can confirm my... | |
| SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I listen at 55db-60db every morning before someone else wakes. I don't know if it is the speaker or the amp which permits a decent sound at lower volumes, but I don't feel any aspect of the music is missing other than the volume, with either of my... | |

| Check This Out! Thanks for updating your system- nice to see pictures of it in a real environment. I am just waiting for someone to put on the top of a rack like yours, put a fake faucet above it, post it in a designer magazine and ask for comments about their ... | |

| Power supply for ethernet switch? 30 day money back guarantee, nothing to loose to try it. https://uptoneaudio.com/products/etherregen In the first 3000 Alex has sold I believe he has had 4 returns (going off of memory) I am one of ones who didn't return it. There may quite a... | |
| If an amp has 4 ohm taps So I would think that generally speaking, if one had an amp with only 8 ohm taps (which is probably includes quite a few amps) one shouldn’t even consider speakers with 4 ohms listed as nominal impedance. I’ll let the more knowledgeable and exp... |
