| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio The Ray Reserve are 6SN7, correct? Did you try 12SN7? Mine are 12SN7GT. I haven't tried 6SN7. | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio I'd like to try the Ray Reserve, but I think I have decent tubes, so I can't bring myself to spend $480. My tubes aren't the tubes that came from the factory with the preamp. I tried those and they weren't as good. Did you have... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio What have you chosen as the best tube combination for the LTA preamp? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Within Temptation - Resist. I've found myself kinda bored with my normal audiophile stuff. I've been listening to some hard rock and metal. It's good stuff, though. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. There was a kid in college that had a pair hanging in the corners up near the ceiling. Phase Linear amp. I was totally jealous. It definitely cranked. I had a JVC integrated amp, BSR turntable, and Altec Lansing speakers. Really not too bad fo... | |
| My Gray Experience Thanks for the heads up. I think I've seen ads from New Age. I'll know to stay away. I think you'll like the pair of REL. I have the same pair. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report James Taylor - Live at Beacon Theatre on dvd. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report It’s a disc, but a dvd... Listening to RPWL in surround (video) . Really good recording. They were scheduled to record it live and the concert got canceled due to covid. So, they decided to record a live performance in the studio. It’s one of the ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report October Project - The Ghost of Childhood. Actually, I’m streaming it, but I ordered the cd on Bandcamp tonight. Not the cheapest, but no resellers have it. It’s a signed limit edition. | |
| Anyone own the Topping e70 Velvet? I just ordered one I streamed with my R26 using Audirvana software and the sound was really good. There is a small monthly subscription fee, but you can subscribe month to month, so it doesn't cost much to try it. | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? @billstevenson My son is a young audiophile. The only music he owns on recorded media is what I’ve given to him. With current trends, that's not likely to change. I have no idea what I’ve spent on cds and vinyl. And 8 track tapes and cassette tap... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @audphile1 I got a good chuckle out of that one. 😅 | |
| Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers? VR-2 are probably 20 years old if I'm not mistaken. I have a pair of original VR-4 that I'm hanging onto for my son. I also think that you need to upgrade your receiver before the speakers. What are you using for a phono cartridge and phono p... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS My dac has four ESS9039SPRO chips and it's not at all edgy. I absolutely hate bright, harsh, and edgy sounds. My tinnitus probably doesn't help. It replaced an r2r dac which are typically warmer and less bright. One of the things that I like abo... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I agree 100%. I've had a system in a number of different room sizes, shapes, ceiling heights, etc over the many years that I've been involved in this hobby. In some locations, I could hear the issues. Wasn't smart enough to do room treatment. My ... |
