| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION Buy the Zesto.... you can thank me later ! | |
| Very faint hiss from tweeter It normal in most cases . Turn the Amp on without the preamp. Still there? Normal to some degree, depending on speaker. Try to make sure interconnects and speaker wires are apart and also not intertwined with AC or ethernet. Still exist? T... | |
| Looking for a streaming DAC around 4k I like Aurender , products are built like a tank and they have excellent support. My Dad has the A6 Master. and he loves it. Sounds excellent with his McIntosh amp's DAC. Personally I would spend that money on a stand alone DAC if you lik... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION I have always stretched the budget a little when choosing a preamp. Choose the right one and you won't feel the need to upgrade for a while. | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION If you want a tube preamp that will elevate your system to next level check out the Zesto Leto Ultra II preamp that TMR has used. I had the original Zesto Leto and it was amazing. I regret selling it. | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION If you are interested in the c-j I would recommend getting the SE. The problem with demoing preamps it that they are the heart of your system so they are tough to A/B compare like a source. I like the voicing of cj , you may not. If possibl... | |

| Do NOS Mullard EL34 tubes last much longer than NOS SED (Svetlana) EL34 ? I have also had gold Lion KT88 tubes that tested higher than "new" and have many many hours and are still strong. They test almost new still and still are tightly matched. That’s one reason I buy matched tubes from trusted sources They are my ba... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? Being 6 months past the return window, I think any dealer, mfg, or distributors would have handled it the same way. Send it in and have peace of mind for $100 | |
| My experience with The Music Room I bought a Cyrus i7XR from TMR in the fall. It was steeply discounted as Cyrus discontinued it. Because of their return policy I decided to try it for a second system. Turned out to be a great amp , service was great too | |
| why expensive streamers I went from a Bluesound Vault 2i to an Aurender N200. No regrets. I traded a preamp towards it plus $800 out of pocket. No brainer for me . It is much better than using a PC, better sounding than BluOs and sounds great with my DAC. | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect The newer Revel are good sounding speakers , I can’t argue with that . I just don’t think that build quality is on par with early Revel |
