Viva Tubes
Vivatubes are my go-to for Psvanes or other new tubes. A couple of years ago they replaced my one noisy tube by sending a matched pair. That alone is the reason for me to go to them Vs fleaBay/Amazon.  
Foobar 2000 RAM DISK questions
@danager Looks like we are using the same softwares for music playback. I have been using Foobar2000 since June/July 2020. And I use Fidelizer Pro. I love the combination. As for RAM Disk - I do not use it. But here is the thread you might want t... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
To see a members system  from a thread just click on their handle/name in a post and click "details" in the drop down menu. Have you ever noticed any system posted by the so called measurement folks? I don't doubt that some of them might have a... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Just don’t shove YOUR method to other peoples throats @thyname BINGO! I don’t understand why such folks bother coming here and claim they are ultimate authority. I don’t care a rat’s rear about such people. Waste of time arguing with them. Best... 
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
Just 3 days ago I got a package from Brent Jesse. It contained the 1960s Mazda ladder plates 12AU7 for my Backert Labs Rhumba. I installed them and kept the preamp ON for 2 hours and sat down for a serious auditioning. I am not going to say "blow ... 
Spotify HiFi
I had gotten this survey on Feb-11 this year and have screen shots that indicated $9.99/month for individual platinum plan and $25.99/month for platinum plan for 6-member family. The screen shots say that "platinum features included": Ad-free O&a... 
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
@sns Thank You for the suggestion. I am sure it would sound very nice. But I am happy with my current setup. I use Foobar2000 that is highly configured to stream everything (including Radio Paradise and Folk Alley) in DSD. Will keep this info in m... 
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
@lalitk , That is correct. But what I am saying is that Windows PC is not necessarily a cause for bad sound. Devices need to be dedicated and optimized. Granted that general public will not be able to do that and hence should probably go with rea... 
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
Poor PC gets blamed. I recently built a Windows 11 based player/streamer and play my music through that. There’s probably tons of background services running on OP’s machine that might be degrading his playback. Simple things like switching off le... 
Creedence on vinyl
I don’t own a TT. So I got the EU CD (Best Of) from 2008 hoping for a decent quality sound. I liked all the songs on the disc. But man, the sound quality sucks big time on this disc. Spotify recently introduced me to some CCR songs and I got hooked.  
Sad songs- We love them- We need them

@kairosman , I thought you liked the Musetec over anything else.  
Best DACs under $7,000.00
Great thread, because I am just about starting to look for a dedicated DAC. I am tempted by the T+A DAC200 based on @phastm3 post. This comes to me a a genuine recommendation. I had heard about the T+A DAC but never paid much attention. Need to f... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Guess we need to stop feeding the 👹 Sad that most of you realize this so late when I said that few pages ago. Remember, a troll will first bring YOU ALL to his level and then beat you through his experience of trolling. Folks need to refrain ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Folks, I find it funny that you call names on a trolls. Why won’t you stop responding to whoever trolls are on this thread! Does it hurt your egos? No, I am not sorry to be rude at this point; but let it go and don’t feed the trolls.
