| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I'll add if your intention is best sound quality, perhaps more clutter provides better sq. Simpler may be betterr, or it may not. I see so many positive reviews on so many setups, if someone has proof of the definitive best setup I'd like to hear ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara I can't tell from your link if you can change pin outs on I2S with GAIA. My Singxer SU-6 has this capability via dip switches. | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates Biggest issue with integrateds is sharing of power supply. Pre and amp have different requirements, sharing is compromise. | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @car123 Try lps on second fmc, this should be worthwhile improvement. Don't need to spend a lot of money on this, Teradak or something similar fine.Not surprised didn't hear much difference with fmc in front of server. Adding switch and fmc after ... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? I can't recall a time when I wasn't enthralled by sound as much as the music itself. My first foray into mods was adding external speaker to my clock radio in around sixth grade. We were first in neighborhood with one of those large console combo ... | |
| 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... | |

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... |
