| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. All over Amazon, my guitar supply. Depends on the tubes. At my guitar spply I got quad JJ KT77s Matched Apex from there at a decent price. | |
| Returns I bought a bluesound integrated amp from crutchfield. It cost me a $60 restocking fee. Free shipping back to them. They could sell it open box and still make money from the restock fee. They are good for returns, but not cheap. | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? Conrad Johnson went through the same thing several years back. I suspect the same will happen with Audio Research. The company will be bought out and people will still be able to get them. There are electronics Engineers, technicians capable are ... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Invalid - you have a great point. Build that nice flat response speaker and then go add that beast subwoofer so it sounds great but no longer a flat curve on the low end. Then the next poorly EQ recording comes on and you launch over to the sub wo... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Timlub, as long as there are imperfect ears, there will never be a perfect speaker design. The perfect speaker is in the ear of the beholder. | |
| Multiple inputs on DAC Jonnieloop - Update, i did as you suggested, purchased a good quality Usb cable and ran it from the innous mini mk III to the shiit bifrost. Wow! What an incredible improvement in sound, realism, depth, detail and even separation. The bass went fr... | |
| Why do I need a switch? I use a netgear pl1200 lan and a 5 port netgear switch and it sounds great. Go by what you hear, not what people say. If you have a large income and want an expensive network, then ok. It may or may not help the sound. I think your 8 port switch i... | |
| Why do I need a switch? I use a Netgear PL1200. Then I run to a netgear 5 port switch. It sounds great. You can get faster models of this type if you want. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-PowerLINE-Gigabit-Pass-Through-PLP1200-100PAS/dp/B00S6DBGIS/ref=asc_df_B00S6DBGIS?t... | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? As far as I can tell, the common tubes are available you can get a quad of JJ KT 77s for $131 on Amazon today. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile One way to look at this is nothing man made is perfect. And if you think it is, that is in the ear of the beholder! I personally after growing up as a musician, audio enthusiast know what I think sounds accurate. There are so many aspects to buil... | |
| Multiple inputs on DAC Thank you very much jeffseight and soix for the kind reply. I have not been able to figure out how to make the built in streamer in the Zen Mini Mk III to work with Deezer. The sound quality and selection of music, the interface I would hate to ... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? My biggest complaint about articles is spelling. I am not good at writing but can not help noticing spelling errors. It is like someone is thumbing published work from a cell phone with no spell check. This happens even on the article titles. | |
| World's Best Stereo System ?... The best system is in the ears of the beholder. And their pocketbook. | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass For pounding rock with deep bass the large JBL's are great. The specs on the low end say 33HZ. IF I had the money I would demo these baby's | |
| My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB? I compared a 100w / Channel Shiit Vidar against a 50W / Crown amp. The Vidar had slightly more low-end punch, but the 45yr old 50W Crown amp left it behind when it came to loudness with no distortion. I am not sure why? When I got a 30W tube amp ... |
