| The problem with streaming In thinking more about perception of streaming being for lazy people I can see how that thought may occur. For some playing vinyl is a ritual. Handling vinyl with care, placing it on cleaning machine, handling with care again to place on tt, c... | |
| The problem with streaming @vuch With Roon you do get the provenance of recordings, and then you have multiple versions of many many recordings to choose from. And finally, we always have our ears in order to determine quality of each version. While my vinyl setup no longer... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Here's best comparative review I've probably seen of KTE version of Holo. Compared both to Mola Mola and Totaldac. https://twitteringmachines.com/review-holo-audio-kte-may-dac/ | |
| What is Tight Bass? I perceive it as articulate bass, the opposite of one note, overly resonant bass. Loose resonant bass is real no no for me, once I hear it in system, can never unhear. Also, recording dependent. | |
| The problem with streaming @mijostyn I sure am lazy, 3k plus albums, at least 2500 cd's, many albums collected from record shows, I'm gifted albums as its well known I still collect and play. I think its just the opposite, streaming is for people who love music. And if ... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? Another plus for Roon, integration with Tidal, Qobuz, embedded HQPlayer if so inclined, great graphics, information about artists, playlists, saved personal playlists, Roon radio, excellent sound quality, I could go on and on. Vast majority of... | |
| Roon confusion And for those wanting to use the embedded HQPlayer within Roon, many servers out there don't have the processing power to run higher level dsp of HQPlayer. Keep this in mind if going in this direction, Intel I7 is generally minimum for this. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? @pesky_wabbit I very much doubt the Z foils will deliver what OP desires in this particular case, reason I suggested Takman carbon films over Z foil. And my suggestions not based on pure speculation as you speculate in regard to my experience. I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Coincidence or causation for 005 and ET? Isn't there protection circuit on ET? You'd think that would trip prior to house breaker. In any case looks like that pc malfunctioning. I've had my BPT for nearly twenty years without a single problem. ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Ultra Lounge, 'Space Capades,' from the Ultra Lounge set of releases, all what's known as bachelor pad music from the 60's. This well recorded material as it was produced with the idea it would play on bachelor's high end stereo systems in the bac... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Takman's take on induced noise makes sense with the naked Vishay, but then, induced noise would predict lower transparency, resolution. I believe pretty universal experience TX2575 highest resolving, transparent resistor. Issue with these, wattage... | |
| Problem with one channel going out..... This is why I document all troubleshooting on paper, easy to go in circles when you forget prior moves. | |
| The problem with streaming I have both cd's and streams recorded from lp's, all are from obscure artists from 60's and 70's. I get it that one would want to keep vinyl setup to play releases not available in any other format or rare pressing. I have both in my now over... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wig Not sure this has any bearing on present day tube dacs, but back in the day I had Audio Logic 24MXL. Also had Perpetual Technologies dac setup modded to the hilt. AL suffered greatly in comparison, perhaps unfairly biased against tube dacs to... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Now, the best resistors I've used are the Texas Component TX2575 (Vishay z foil). For transparency and resolving powers none better. |
