| whatsbestforum - what's going on No, because you know nothing about me, my industry knowledge and stereo equipment. That's my point about audio-forum curmudgeons. Jumping in without invitation or relevant contributions, armed only with attitude and presumption. If you want to ... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on @carlos269 Thanks for making my point. | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on I too am a long time WBF member. I stopped frequenting AG and other mainstream sites because there is too much trolling and stupidity from audio curmudgeons who are disgruntled with their lot in life. Consequently, they have made it their sole m... | |
| Options to improve digital sound If you use a USB cable then I would strongly recommend the CAD USB Filter and/or the CAD GC 1.1. For the later, don't mix earth and signal ground. Your digital system has the same issue as most. It generates and dissipates noise from quantizati... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? The Thuono TH400 is hands down my favourite TT. Super quiet, dynamic and holographic. Makes every record sound that much better | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp An excellent choice! You will not be disappointed. In my experience, the Nagra HD was a bit thin in the mids in my system relative to the Jubilee. But it is fast and precise on the front edge of transients. Enjoy!!! | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp Hi Dave. I was in your position a few years back. I'm familiar with the Nagra HD and Momentum, which are top-tier contenders (as you'd expect). My research, comparisons and ear drew me to the Octave Jubilee Preamp. It replaced my ARC Ref.10 an... | |

| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes I suspect that TTM had a very good supply at one time, but as its inventory of good NOS/NIB tubes has been depleted over the years all it can do is draw the prospective customer in with images of past stock and then pivot a potential sale to a dif... | |

| Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System Your best decision, in my opinion and experience, is stick with tubes to get the best of digital and analog. I have an all-tube system (Octave MRE 220's with SBB) and an Octave Jubilee Pre). Admittedly, my server is all SS (Antipodes K50).I bough... | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. BTW: the comment shared by Roxy 54 following your post, has equal application to him. Lighten up buddy!! | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. Lampizator's Pacific DAC. It's a game changer. | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. Thanks for the screw-over synopsis of eBay and PP transactions. These posts are becoming more common. That's why I don't do transactions using either and I don't deal with buyers or sellers unless they have a long and untarnished record. The ot... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I think the speaker is the last piece in the audio upgrade path for two reasons:- It is literally at the end of the actual signal path.- Based on my experience and other hobbyists I respect, virtually every relatively descent pair of speakers will... |
