| Elrog 300b vs we300b The Psvane and Linlai WE clones aren't their top of line tubes, wouldn't expect they'd compete with the real WE. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @rrboogie I'm biased in that I believe the preamp should be considered as package with sources, ie. as important as the source itself. 005 potential such that it could benefit from cost no object pre's, I've used 005 straight thru, no pre, with M... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Test of transparency is between no Loki in system vs Loki. Assuming no absolute transparency, I can see the tradeoffs being in Loki's favor. As with @ghdprentice I have no need, have voiced system to sound best with widest variety of recordings. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara So I spoke with Andrew at SGC, states they continually receive promises of parts delivery, never delivered, so in process of redesigning OR and OM, who knows when these become available again. These supply chain issues are crazy ... | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? I'd bet best VD power cord on every component would be better yet. Weak links are still weak links, just altering where you place them, hoping weakest link is on least important component. I gave up on this way of thinking over time, now I just bi... | |
| Cables recommendation I've been observing cable threads for far too long. I can never makes heads or tails of them, I'm sure I could collate the entirety of them and find reviews claiming a particular cable or line of cables as best ever, others would state it being te... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . I've never experienced an absolutely transparent component, can't believe this has absolutely no sound signature. | |
| I need advice on a 300b tube That tube is dead, do not use. Also, tubes don't repair themselves, may only cause harm to your amp if continue to use. Most humming, popping, many types of sudden distortion are tube related issue, always replace suspect tube with known good tube... | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... Wow, a blast from the past, I had Alon IV's many, many years ago, purchased them from Arnie, founder of Audiogon. I modded those things to nth degree, went to the Alnico magnets, modded baffles and bass box. Later on went to the Lotus SE when I we... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @gladmo I have Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router, using TeraDak 12v 4amp lps. More than enough amps, been running for at least couple years 24/7, runs just warm to touch. On modem front, experimented with various setups. I'm lucky in that my cab... | |
| Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime I have far too much physical media, both cd's and vinyl. I was culling the cd collection a few years ago, too daunting a task to organize everything, and don't have the time. Perhaps when I retire, whenever that is, no intentions of ever retiring,... | |

This is balanced transformer based pc, my preference is for transformer pc's after auditioning many others over the years. With ... | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. With speakers need to measure in room response, all rooms different. Do this at home, you'll find best placement for speakers and seating position. Measurements from some review or spec page only tell you so much. | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Many years ago I discovered over at audiophilestyle forum, devices that run at various voltages will take the higher voltage and throw excess off as heat, lower voltages will consume more of supplied voltage, thus, less waste and heat. On the oth... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac The lps on router was relatively large change IME. I don't understand why you're using usb when you have Synology NAS. NAS is network only connection, likely superior to any usb storage. I use AQ Vodka ethernet cable with my Synology NAS, better t... |
