| A different world I don't want to speak for @ghdprentice, but when you add a song or album in Tidal, there is no cost. But you must maintain the membership cost to keep the list. I'm a total cost of ownership kinda guy, but I got over that very quickly and would sk... | |
| Primaluna? I haven't read the whole thread, neither the one that was recently deleted. But you can see that Kevn has a lifetime interest in the tube audio hobby. If you live in SoCal, you owe it to yourself to go visit and hear for yourself; I'd recommend a ... | |
| A different world Great thread. I started streaming in my main rig a little over three years ago (almost all components and speakers new at that time). I've found that in a good system, everything makes a difference; streamer, DAC, network cables, power cables, ne... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Hilarious! | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Not sure why I only discovered this around Christmas of 2021, but sure glad I did. Love the concise "knowing" of The Audiophile's wife! Slowly getting through all her delightful posts; if you hear me laugh while I'm listening to music, you know why. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @bobvin As Bob and others have stated, it is the OPs prerogative as to how they spend their hard-earned capital. It is unbecoming of those on an audio forum to be pejorative or cast aspersions on those who choose to spend what said folks deem as... | |

Been giving away large handfuls of CDs and needing to get hundreds more out plus two CD towers. If you have a good internet connect... | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever That's how you get to the next level, on pretty much everything. | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES @soix Interesting comment. Thanks for sharing that it is even better to use jumpers with a bi-wire cable. May just try that some day. | |
| Zavfino @ozzy That was helpful. Don't want an extremely stiff cable. But others in their line are not as stiff, at least that is my impression. | |
| Zavfino Where are you both using the Silver Dart? Source, amp, etc. | |
| Thank you millercarbon Funny the article mentions InAkustik, because that is exactly what I thought when I saw the photo of said new cable. | |
| Pimping your router @thyname Fully agree with you on the "zeroes and ones". | |
| Pimping your router If you want an EtherREGEN, I've read they only have parts to make a few hundred more. So you might want to look into that. I have an ER + LPS and love it. But you should also check into the ENO filter, does not require power, and several posters h... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. @rfnoiseI had several MCS systems. The first was a 10-watt receiver with a matching cassette deck, belt drive MCS TT, and some small book shelf speakers. The second was a 33-watt receiver with a much better cassette deck, MCS 3-way speakers, MCS d... |
