| Recommendation for Dac for streamer I meant to add Aqua La Voce as well to the post above, but edit function wouldn't let me... | |
| Tracy Chapman - Similar artists & their albums +1 Joan Armatrading. Her self-titled 3rd is a career highlight(especially the super analog recording on vinyl). Both of her compilations, Track Record and The Very Best of would serve as tremendous introductions.Maybe a bit of a stretch, but anoth... | |
| Capacitor Message @dgarretson, the King of Capacitors for his input! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Devore and Silverline are two brands making great quality speakers that are designed with and for tube amps. If I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for Devore O93 or O96. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Recommendation for Dac for streamer I'd definitely add the Aqua LaScala and Formula DACs to your list at the high end of the price range and the Denafrips Pontus II and Venus II at the lower end of the price range. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Record clamp Highly unlikely that it would do any harm to the table. I tried about 10 different clamps a few years ago on my Technics SP10mkII. On that table, the clamps definitely were more impactful than the weights that didn't clamp, including some very pri... | |
| Experiences with Audio Research LS-2B @haligan343,Assuming you have functioning tubes in the LS2, just connect its outputs to the inputs of the Parasound. Connect speakers to the Parasound. Connect RCA outputs from the Apple TV to the Aux inputs of the LS2. Turn the volume all the way... | |
| Calling all Sota fans. @garkat62,While, not quite in the top $ sphere you're discussing, I did replace a Technics SP10mkII with EPA250 arm with a Sota Nova VI and an Audiomods Series V arm. The reason for the change was a cross-country relocation with a temp. housing pe... | |
| Designers -who's been around the longest ? I was going to offer Thomas Edison, but @thecarpathian won this thread with the first reply. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Roon for high end audio? @peter_s You've got the idea, that would work. If you go with a Pi, there are lots variants, the ones with Allo hats get lots of praise, but I haven't heard those.One obvious renderer alternative that's very affordable is the Sonore microRendu. It... | |
| popping noise from my speakers Okay, sorry, couldn't resist.Please share more detail if you want help. For example, do you hear the popping only from one source component or all? Do you hear it when the volume is down but everything is powered on? Did you change anything in the... | |
| popping noise from my speakers I have a pretty high end VCR that flashes 12:00. | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Most auctions see all the bidding action in the last 2minutes. This whole convo will change in terms of value during that 2 minutes and it will be to late to ask anything then. Given your location, shipping for any restoration work is a real cost ... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? @sparksgja , When you get that urge to jump off the album to instant gratification you can instead queue to play AFTER the album completes. It's a good habit. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Anyone familiar with Air Tight ATM-1S? @yomaha Yes, I agree that the ATM-1S would be plenty powerful w/98db speakers. I recall carrying it into a dealer to demo speakers bigger and lower sensitivity than my own and it outperformed a 75 or 100w amp they used as their normal demo pairing... |
