| *DAC I'm in a similar place as you.. very much liking the sound of my system but still considering moves to make for hearing more into the music. I just ordered one of Benjamin's new Mojo Audio dacs after being very impressed with his power cables and ... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Jakob Bro BALLADEERING. | |
| USB Cable Inakustik USB is my favorite so far. | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I've had them for years, in and out of various setups. Sometimes underwhelming but most of the time shockingly good. I just put them in again recently following a long stretch listening to KCI Silkworm+ and Audio Tekne interconnects. Now, I'm thin... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? I love my Yamamoto 2A3. Hand crafted beauty with soul. Plenty of power with my 96dB speakers. There are 45 and 300B options as well. | |
| 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. | |

| 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 ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I just started streaming last month and primarily use Qobuz and Tidal. Spotify brings up enough music I'm unable to find on these so I'm keeping it for the time being but I prefer the SQ of Qobuz & Tidal. My Node 2i is connected to the dac of ... | |
