| Zesto Andros 1.2 Zesto makes some of the best tube gear out there. George is a musician, engineer, and talented designer. He has a "good ear" so to speak regarding the voicing of a component. I would definitely take a chance on a pre like the Andros af... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? I am a lot more likely to buy a used component than speakers. My last few speakers have been new , reason for that is my last pair of used speakers needed a part that took months to get... the seller was kind enough to pursue the warranty but... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Don't know why some hate on McIntosh. I have had a few pieces of Mac gear and it was good. My Dad recently picked up a MA8950... what a great Amp. I could definitely be happy with that Amp. One thing about the Mac gear I once owned, it... | |
| Must read/enjoy for 300B.... and all tube lovers Good read, thanks. | |
| ZYX "House" Sound I have been thinking of getting the Bloom 3 for my Sota Escape / Origin Live Silver iv. Part Time Audiophile's pick for best value. They said it sounds better than some $3k and $4k carts. | |
| Why it is so difficult to find a hifi power cables from IEC-C14 to IEC-C13 terminal? Check Mono Price | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 I agree N200 then a great DAC, not a lateral move but significantly better and you will be all set for a while | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality The level of support from Aurender was worth the price of admission. I only needed support twice and they took care of it remotely. The new version of Conductor 4 is slick and has been pretty solid. My DAC is the LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference and it sou... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 There is a comparison chart on their site. My thinking was the same , The N200 has a lot more in terms of power supply, isolation, etc I’m sure the 150 is awesome but I think it only has USB and doesn’t have the un-interruptible PS. Wha... | |
| Affordable Tube Tester It also had been serviced not too long ago. When I bought it, the seller sent a video of him testing two "bogey" tubes. A 6l6 and 12ax7 When I got it I tested a few of my tubes that were matched and tested and it was accurate enough for my nee... | |
| Affordable Tube Tester Be careful with used testers. Many are way out of spec after 50, 60, 70 years..... I got lucky when I bought my Hickok 800. It was obviously loved and taken care of. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 There is also a utility to “mount” your computer to the Aurender , that worked well when I copied a hard drive to the N200 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 It may take a few times. I do have several titles that were done on a certain CD ripper that it just recognizes the artist/tracks but overall it cleaned things up a bit. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Enjoy ! If you go into the Aurender menu there is a tab for it to scan the drive(s) for new content. In my experience it did a great job on the files I had on my SSD. I copied a bunch of stuff from my Vault's drive and the Aurender filled ... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I'm not so sure about that. There is a lot of 24/96 and higher material out there. The other night I was playing Pete Yorn's 2003 The Day I Forgot on vinyl. It sounded really good. Just for S&G I played the same album on Qobuz and it s... |
