| P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile? One of my power line conditioners is a Quintet; the other is an Audio Magic Stealth. Imho, it's a matter of synergy. For me, the Stealth is, basically, better in every way, but a bit brighter. The sound of both is extremely dependent on the power ... | |

| Tubes for Scott Nixon UFO DAC I use an Amperex Bugle Boy. I have not tried others but enjoy it very much. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? All of this reminds me of an old joke.During the night, a passerby spots a fellow, apparently, searching around on his front porch for something. The good Samaritan offers to help and asks him what he's looking for."My car keys," the man replied. ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Thanks for accordance Tbg.It remains an open question as to when DBT/ABX testing actually is appropriate, however.To the unconvinced, I would propose that, phenomenologically, such testing is useful when the DBT testing experience does not differ ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? The fact that DBT/ABX testing does not support the fact that there are audible differences between two different audio components just raises the question: what is wrong with that sort of testing?Many years ago, I participated in an ABX test Stere... | |

| Best floorstanding speakers less than $500 Don't sweat it. You can get that sound by choosing the right tubes for your amp. Go new Chinese or Russian, or NOS Amperex A-frames, or, maybe NOS German/Siemens and their ilk.You, already, have an an amp that's not warm. It's "neutral". So, it sh... | |
| Best floorstanding speakers less than $500 Normally, I'd recommend a very efficient, or voltage-loving speaker on stands.You always have to make trade offs at your price point. Since your amp uses negative feedback and, thus, has good damping ability, I suggest a speaker whose main fault i... | |
| The "Tiv" is on more than my stereo Well, I don't listen to the radio.But I sure listen to the huge MP3 catalog on my my hard drive (almost continuously, in fact) more than my records.Perhaps, it's partly because that's when I just listen to the music and not my stereo.And I'm a rec... | |
| digital front end to rival best vinyl? To specifically address your issue, I suggest you pay close attention to what Tvad and Buconero117 said in their posts.Vinyl and digital will, probably, never sound the same.And one person's silk purse is, always, going to be another person's sow'... | |
| I always do something stupid... Here's an audio-related story that I find very funny.It was told to me by Jim Mesa, of Mesa-Boogie pro audio amps.He told me that The Rolling Stones, always, insisted on using his amps.Well, one time, the Stones had gone to some private island to ... | |
