| Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song? Chris Jones / Roadhouses & Automobiles. I find this to be very well recorded. But really, do a search for some of your favorite music. | |
| Fake Audiophiles Fake? I really enjoy music,and music reproduction. I don’t have a ton of technical knowledge,and don’t pretend to. Does this make me a fake? Doesn’t really matter to me. It’s not going to change the joy I get out of this hobby. I guess some fo... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes When I purchased the Psvane 6SN7 BE’s, the seller said they had about 80 hrs on them. Since then,I’ve put another 30hrs or so on them. I just put the Linlai’s back in,and they are,in my opinion, superior to the Psvane. The Psvane is a little mor... | |
| Nitpicking for Old Codgers & Others who may Give a Da** I’ll take them if the term “minty” was used in the description. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab, from what I understand,running four of them,you will experience more of a good thing. However,time tells no lies. | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole It is interesting to see both camps picking a topic like this as a hill to die on. I guess I’m of the belief that if something sounds good to my ears,it sounds good to my ears. To me this hobby is about reproducing music to my tastes. However,i... | |
| How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp? I’ve heard great things about Belles, possibly look into Don Sachs,Aric Audio, Space Tech Laboratory, and I’m sure there are many more smaller builders that make some wonderful gear without many of the features you don’t need. I was in the same b... | |
| My endgame system I think Nothing worse than the sound of rattling ice cubes! | |
| Looking for a 6SN7 preamp, any word on Space-Tech Laboratory? Looks like the WP-1 is just what you’re looking for. There is a member here that has some gear from Space Tech Labs. He speaks quite highly of them. Hopefully he will jump in. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @decooney,bloomy was the term I was looking for. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @decooney, it appears that the Psvanes are definitely cut from the same cloth. First off,you are far more eloquent than I am! In comparison to the Linlai’s,the blue globes seem a tiny bit rolled off on the top end,but definitely not dull. I find... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Hi @tom2015, I’m glad to see that these work for you too. Any difference in quietness compared to the Tung Sols? | |
| My upgrade I do agree with at least a pair of subs, but @russ69 brings up a great point by upgrading to complimenting preamp. There are many to choose from. First thing you’ll need to figure out is budget. From the subs you are looking at, I’m guessing you ... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? I think you’ll find many different answers to this question. My opinion is that a home theater receiver used for two channel only gear enjoyment, is like the difference between a sports car vs a SUV on a race track. Yes,the SUV will get you around... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade I agree with others that have suggested playing it for a couple of weeks to let everything settle in.( Both the amp,and your ears). There is always the possibility that it just isn’t a great match for you. Sometimes we buy things that don’t work... |
