| 12v linear power supply I always over spec my lps, less stressed, better reliability. So, you need 2amp, I'd get lps that could supply at least 4amp. I see too many posts of poor experience with lps, always because people purchasing lps that can only maximally supply nee... | |
| Linear power supply for a router I always over spec my lps,less stressed, greater reliability. I'd get lps that could supply at least 7amp, even more is better. This will be powered 24/7 so don't cheap out. I use lps on my router, worth it for me to the point adding audiophile s... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Not quite steaming, but cd rip played over my network. Horslips, 'Happy to meet, sorry to part.' Haven't listened to in longest time, I suppose I could describe as psychedelic celtic, forgot how unique and interesting this band was! | |
| The problem with streaming The title of this thread is the problem, I'd never begin a thread with the "problem with vinyl." There is no problem with vinyl and there is no problem with streaming, I enjoy both for all the reasons given above. Why do we always have to battle b... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming When doing the cheap fiber mod, using stock wall warts isn't extracting full value of mod. LPS on second fmc is next step, I found lps on first fmc also helps just a bit. With ethernet solutions, cable quality matters. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Should have mentioned the Takman CF replaced generic metal oxides. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Don't know about the AN Niobium but the Takman carbon film should give you what you're looking for. Recently put some in signal path of my Coincident Statement pre, looking for that exact fuller musical presentation you're looking for, they did th... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Good to see more of these comparisons. In future we need to see comparisons of optimized ethernet vs optimized optical setups in same audio system, not sure I've seen that. At this point, many iterations of ethernet devices, with optical Sonor... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Can't help with the 6sn7, but Linlai Elite 101D solid plates are best 101d out there. Good to hear there may be new 6sn7 to challenge NOS. At some point NOS tubes will cease to exist, we'll need new quality tubes to carry on. | |
| The problem with streaming If you can't enjoy streaming sound quality for serious listening sessions something wrong with streaming setup, or have serious case of audiophilia in that you can only enjoy the very best recordings (say hot stampers) played on the best tt with t... | |
| Procol Harum’s Gary Brooker, Singer and Co-Writer of ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale,’ Dies at 76 I saw them back in the day, recall them being true musicians, I could see the classical training in their playing. They had far more great material than just Whiter Shad of Pale, many good memories tied to their music. RIP | |
| Has your system evolved in the past 10 years? Only preference for SET amps and high efficiency speakers has remained over the long term. Not much remains of my system from 10 years ago, some IC's, power conditioner, dedicated listening room and AC lines. Sometimes I wish I could time travel, ... | |
| Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units? No doubt modding is steep learning curve. One has to limit change to one variable at a time, experience and/or research into particular parts sound qualities critical. Listen, determine what you don't like about present sound, change out what ... | |
| Best speaker crossover caps for deep, tight, detailed and tactfull bass? Film caps in that value will be both huge and very expensive! For electrolytics grannyring's advice for AN Kaisei good. I also recently used the newly released AN Seiryu in recent pre upgrade, very nice electrolytic. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone I understand your reluctance to remove components from pc. Have you tried removing amp from the Equi-core and run straight into wall? I've found over many years and many amps I much prefer all amps straight into wall vs BPT. But then I run... |
