| Ethernet opinions As far as cables are concerned the best ethernet cable I've experienced in my system is the Omega Micro Ebony. It also happens to be one of the least expensive. Under $100 for 3ft. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? I recently received some NOS tubes from Ukraine that I ordered through an Etsy seller. I wasn't sure whether I would ever see them but thought getting some money to a citizen of Ukraine was worth the small risk on my part. | |

| CALLING ALL YAMAMOTO A-O11 2A3 OWENERS / Do any of you happen to know whether you can roll a Sophia Electric Aqua 274B in the A-011? I've run them in other amps that wouldn't permit a standard 274B. They sound great and would love to try one of them in my Yamamoto. | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? I sold my Cary SACD once I started streaming. I started with a Bluesound Node 2i, then a Lindemann Bridge, then a Lindemann Musicbook25. Fortunately, my current streamer also plays discs when needed but to my experience streaming mostly Quobuz con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I came across an amazing New Yorker piece over the weekend on Phil Schaap's obsession with Charlie Parker and with jazz in general. Originally published in 2008, BIRD-WATCHER tells Phil's hard to believe life story in the world of jazz. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since coming across this thread recently I haven't had much opportunity to drop in. I was just looking through the conversations again and really enjoying the back and forth. Have I missed any references to Monk and Mingus? I think Monk may be my ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados LOVE a lot of the music mentioned but admit to listening to somewhat more recent discoveries as I get older... with plenty of exceptions of course. Jakob Bro, JD Allen, Keith Jarrett, Bill Frisell's recent VALENTINE is great. I tend to love any ... | |

| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Forgot to mention that I ordered SonarQuest (sp?) rhodium plated connectors for the next batch of power cables. The guys from Mad Scientist Audio posted their experience with these connectors on their blog. I didn't spring for the top of the line ... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all I'm one of the folks who stumbled upon Jeff's blog posts about WE16ga wire...and, after trying out the 16ga for speaker cables and power cords along with the Belden RCA cables I was ecstatic. Last night I finally got around to substituting some WE... | |
| cable advice If you do decide to start near the less expensive end of the spectrum consider Virtue Audio Nirvana cables. To my experience they have a rich, musical presentation and amazing for the price. I'm currently using the speaker cable with a Morrow Audi... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 Forgot to mention that I have also been looking at the Black Cat Neo Morpheus+ cables. At $290 they perhaps occupy that next level beyond budget/entry level. Along with Grover's and quite a few others.While I haven't heard them yet the Tellurium B... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 I've been enjoying the conversation. My purchase of the Tellurium Q Blacks fell through as the seller found damage prior to shipping. I did discover that one can buy a new 1.5M set for under $250. But, on a a bit of a lark I bought some Virtue Aud... |
