| Why would I need Roon? OP. You need something to run Roon Core. A decent PC will work and some but not all NAS drives will work. You can find plenty of suggestions on the Roon website. If you intended to use Roon long term, I suggest to invest in a decent NUC - espe... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience Expensive is relative. Having said that, I felt the same way. I was fortunate enough to find a used mint condition one at a very good price. | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience @atmasphere I'm also wondering how much better a Herron VTPH-2H would sound than my Parasound JC3 junior :) I finally purchased a Herron VTPH-2A. As it say's on Keith's site, "Immediately you know!" As recommended in the manual, I started list... | |

| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE | |
| A warm DAC? The Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE is an excellent DAC. I honestly preferred it over a DirectStream Sr. I'm using it with a Herron pre amp and Innous Zenith MKII streamer. | |
| Switch from AB to D I have a NAD M22v2 power amp paired with a Herron tubenpre amp. The SQ is very good. Having said that, I'm going to purchase a tube power amp because I've never tried a tube amp before. | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? In the 80’s I used a Teac X10R R2R, which I still have, with a dbx 224 type II noise reduction unit and dbx 3bx range expander. I also had a professional Technics cassette deck with dbx 224. I recorded about 40 reels and about a hundred cassette... | |

| RCA to XLR Adapter @almarg Thank you for the thorough and helpful reply. | |
| RCA to XLR Adapter Moon-Audio's site says, "Balanced adapters are always a bad idea for single-ended cables because they can damage your gear."https://www.moon-audio.com/blog/balanced-audio-always-better?gclid=CjwKCAjw7-P1BRA2EiwAXoPWA-1hDXu2b9-vCCsy8-tVD_Mw6dY2QpIc... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? I started building a listening room about 18 months ago. I bought a NAD M12 pre/dac and NAD M22v2. With my Tannoy DC8Ti speakers, the highs were too bright, the mids were too loud, the bass was just right. I purchased a used Herron VTSP-3A tube... | |
| Who buy PS AUDIO ? I auditioned the DSD against my Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE DAC. The DSD sounded nice and I thought the build quality was great. After a couple of weeks of A/B testing, I came to the conclusion it wasn’t $3+K better that the Tubadour by any meas... | |
| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 If you can find one, a used Innous Zenith MKII would work just fine, and it can host Roon Core. |
