| Can you damage your speakers by plugging bass port vent? I have had more than one pair of speakers arrive from the factory with foam port plugs. It will not hurt the speakers , it will be fine. May not sound that great but will not hurt them. | |
| Does VPI ADS work with Basis Gold Debut? My Sota Escape uses the Condor and it's a great system. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? Nice. I’ve have been spinning discs a lot lately. I find that the original CD almost always is better than a remaster. I think most of the streaming content is remastered and there’s no way around it. I try to avoid the cable controversy but if y... | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I often research a product until it's discontinued. I have bought without auditioning or seeing in person , but never something I've never heard of. That's why these forums are a valuable resource. I can see maybe with cables that don't bre... | |
| McIntosh MC2105 paired with a C53 pre? The DA2 DAC is way better than most would give it credit. It's an excellent sounding DAC | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner I have had a Son of Q for almost 20 years. Never an issue . I would suspect a bad GFI I believe it is an off the shelf Leviton unit. It's probably pretty straightforward and any competent tech. As BigTwin suggested remove all power cord... | |
| DON:T WAIT! Replace Those Old Power Tubes! I have a Hickok 800 , it seems pretty accurate with a few tubes that I have that were matched on a modern Amplitrex tester. Sure it's great to know how strong a tube is but it is far more important to check for shorts and gas. I was lucky, t... | |
| Is the BluOS getting worse? I find that when my device can't find my Vault it is simply on the wrong network. May be the case with mesh. You need to make sure the phone or tab is on the same network as the streamer. | |
| DON:T WAIT! Replace Those Old Power Tubes! I agree with Elliott. I test all tubes before they go in my gear for shorts and Gm. Even then it's no guarantee. I bought a tester and few years ago when I started playing with rectifiers and DHT tubes . It wasn't cheap but it saved me from ... | |
| Which company manufactures this Ethernet switch for the other? Pretty amazing the stream goes through all of those channels and circuits and you get music on the other end. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out Glad you are enjoying your system. I've had Quicksilver Mid Monos since 2015 and they have been great. I also bought the QS Headphone Amp a few years ago . Great stuff. | |
| DAC If you like your system just get a streamer like the Bluesound Node. $299 - $999 depending on model. If you want an excellent streamer that also has digital inputs and can be used as a DAC look at an Aurender A1000. $3500 So many choices now,... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Some nice gear in this thread. ... i should add a great accessory, Sofabaton X1S Remote. | |
| Streamer Recommendations Moon 280d is a nice DAC. Enjoy | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 Spend $2000 on Innuos or used Aurender , Eversolo support is non existent... one year warranty and it's a boat anchor if something happens outside that period. DSP functionality limits bit rate to 24/48. These units are way over hyped. Wa... |
