| 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 ... | |
| 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 ... | |

| 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... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 Thanks for the fantastic feedback. I didn't think I would decide on anything so soon but I just bought a used pair of Tellurium Q Black cables on Agon. Some very intriguing reviews on these cables. And the British pedigree interests me. Really out... | |
| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE So far all of my comparative listening has been with redbook cd. I just put in a Miles Davis SEVEN STEPS TO HEAVEN SACD this very moment, however. I'll listen to it later on my 95 but I don't recall it sounding as balanced and transparent on the 9... | |
| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE I have both the stock 95 and the NuForce 93 NXE. I've had the 95 for a few months so it should be fully burned in. The 93NXE has been in my system for about ten days (maybe 75-90 hrs) and while initially not so different from the 95 at around 50 h... |
