| Ypsilon DAC-100? C3G are tough to find , and pricey. EZ81 are plentiful, new and NOS. I would pass. | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? I make my tubes last longer by turning my second system on. I'm fortunate to have a solid state system that I use 75 % of the time. I have always been told turning amps on for short periods then off is bad for tubes. I do bias right at or a l... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? Can't compare but I have had the SW-6 for a few months. Built like a tank. Nice quality | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I would look at Innuos and Auralic in your price range. Eversolo support is non existent. It's decent hardware with a decent interface but if one of their firmware updates has a bug don't expect a fix. Been waiting 6 months for USB out to wor... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? My Dad has a single S/510 and it's a great sub. Two in stereo would be great, they are quite a bit larger but if you have the space... it's about 16x 16 x18 deep | |
| Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports? Good question , prices are out of control. Answer ? Because they can. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT I didn't want a slot loader and didn't have the space for a top loader and the Teac sounds great. Not worried about the tray at all. It's driven by a rubber band, that is usually what fails when it won't eject. | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. I agree best bang for buck would be stylus / cart. | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? Yes,I know, but the HP3 are actually pretty decent sounding... I'm sure if I listened to phones more i would have bought Audize or Focal. I've honestly thought about selling them a few times but never did. | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? That's another reason I like those QS. Sometimes I'm looking for a different presentation and will re tube with a 6l6. My last quad was 6l6, was just missing the el34 tone a little | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? That's probably why I kept my Quicksilver Mid Monos. They ship with EL34 but can take any EL34 or 6L6 variant. I've used KT 66,77,88 but I lean more toward the EL34 so I will put them in my system occasionally. I have a 300b too and prefer ... | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? I have a pair of Klipsch HP3 and a Quicksilver Headphone Amp. I haven't really used them since I set up a bedroom system. They are a good sounding combo but it's not the same as speakers . I bought the pair when I was in the middle of a div... | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest If you don't have a good resource for info , tubes and RTRs can be challenging. I always try to give good advice/ info when possible. | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest I think those folks like to share their knowledge and be good ambassadors of the hobby. | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Nothing worse than sibilance. Makes me want to turn it off. My amp sounds sweet , has great detail and has great bass . Not thin sounding at all , great mid bass . I sold my RME DAC (akm), not that it wasn't a very good DAC it was, but the i... |
