| Power Conditioners Not for amps, quash dynamics, at least for demanding high current tube amps. This is one of those you have to try for yourself deals. I prefer conditioners on everything but amps. Battery powered components or powering with batteries another schem... | |
| Does a solar power home inverter negatively affect the sound of audio systems? I assume these inverters create emi/rfi, in which case they affect whole house power quality. My own experience of using portable lithium ion battery supply to power certain components exposes flavoring, assume the inverter causing this. I do... | |
| Systems over $100k I suspect the upgrades for most of us won't end until we age out. I know I'm done building my last system, I have nothing to complain about as to sound quality, no reason to start over. My sense is once you've settled on amp, preamp and speake... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @mapman I do understand the frustration, but minds are no longer changed. Seems like more and more people in this country are only tuned in to information that conforms to their confirmation biases. The winner in these arguments is who can get in ... | |
| 300B for Canary Grand reference I'm not sure any of the boutique 300B's fall into warm category anymore. Based on many reviews seems all are more in neutral camp, not trying to sound cool or warm. I can tell you the Acmes in this category, have natural timbre, but not warm and r... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Another thread goes down the same old futile trail. How many times do you guys have to repeat, repeat, repeat! EVERYBODY'S MIND MADE UP LONG AGO! | |
| Why terminate speaker wire? I've tried both bare wire and many types of terminations over the years. My experience mirrors the varied responses in this thread, Downside of terminations could be dissimilar metals, but could be upside as well in that one could flavor to taste.... | |

| Innuos Zenith Mk3 Ultra-low Noise USB Audio Output, Really? @martin-andersen This is exactly my issue with many off the shelf servers, motherboard is noisy environment. A top tier server will have usb coming off nice card like Pink Faun or JCAT, or perhaps some proprietary scheme. I modded my server fo... | |
| Neil Young - Barn Documentary Neil definitely in my top ten live artists, would go see every time he came around. Heard Barn last listening session for first time, these guys can still rock. And I do like the fact Neil has a conscience and has the freedom to exercise it. I... | |
| Balanced Power Technologies (BPT) Service I still use self modded BPT 3.5 signature. I'd bet on the magnetic thermal circuit breaker on/off switch as culprit. I'd open up unit, try to identify part numbers on switch, probably can find replacement at Mouser or another parts house. Otherwis... | |
| Antidote to Nihilism - Jordan Peterson "MUSIC" Like your side doesn't dismiss our sources. Here's another futility thread, so much fun, fun,fun,fun. NOT | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I'd say add to our streaming knowledge and try, I still think much to be learned. I hope to have most or all of my questions about streaming answered by end of year. I know someone who is in process of diy build, aka self assembly of nearly st... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @lalitk You couldn't get much more clutter free than server with optical out to streamer/usb renderer with optical in to dac. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui I can only say I was financially prepared to purchase Mola Mola having read enough good reviews that conformed with the sound qualities I was desiring in new dac. In continuing my deep research I serendipitously discovered Mustetec 005 on Chinese ... |
