First tubes in 30 years Cool, I also have custom build 300B monoblocks, dual diy project with guy with access to great enclosures and his hand wound transformers. Love the diy aspect of this hobby, I'll be starting diy music server in January. I can see your having fun! | |
Majority Of Your Listening Is Online Streaming Service, Do You Buy CD's Or Vinyl Any More? No more cds, still pick up lp's. I've been gifted hundreds upon hundreds of lp's over the years, just received another hundred or so last week. Periodically purchase as well. I still like large format of vinyl, and I get sense of inherent value,... | |
How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? There is a lot of anti-horn sentiment out there. I had no interest in horns prior to 1980's era Klipschorns falling into my lap. Prior to that I had used a series of open baffle and box speakers, very much liked sound staging of open baffles, box ... | |
Elrog 300b vs we300b @charles1dad Can't follow your link. I didn't know tooling for tubes that widely available, but then that is eastern Europe, probably lots of old Soviet tooling around. | |
Streaming, Optimization and compromises Scenarios you've laid out are good, exactly what I'm looking for with simplified nearly all fiber setup. Yes, I have complex setup, something like ten steps just to get system up and running. Sounds good as is, assume potential for so much mor... | |
Elrog 300b vs we300b Who manufacturers the EAT. I suspect they farm that out just as Audio Note does to Psvane. | |
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption This new type of Christianity I see practiced today is certainly used as shield and sword of righteousness. This idea of personal god so hilarious. The one that always gets me is when one of these natural disasters hits, the survivor states god wa... | |
Streaming, Optimization and compromises I've thought much about entire stream chain. I don't have fiber internet provider, so I run modem relatively close to system, ie longer coax vs. ethernet cable. So short AQ Vodka from modem to router, router w/lps short run aq vodka to router and ... | |
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Usb taken off motherboard is terrible way to stream, better is optimized usb out, this means separate card and power supply such as Jcat. Best is ethernet out, many high end servers don't have. Ethernet out allows post server fiber conversion and ... | |
burn in - how important? Experiencing this at very moment with Psvane Acme 300B, just starting to open up around 75 hours. Amps and speakers the biggest hassle as you actually have to pass signal which means having music going many hours of day, and not with intention of ... | |
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Pure Audio Project open baffle long been of interest to me. Heard some Spatial X3 a bit ago, very nice. I really like Volti line, I use Greg's tractrix horns on my extreme modded Klipschorns, big upgrade from stock exponentials. | |
What'd You Get For Xmas? Takman rex resistors and Audio Note Sieryu capacitors for my linestage. | |
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I'm with AC and room as foundation. Of choice Ted gave, power cable>speaker cable>digital/IC> fuse | |
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I meant questions for all on thread. | |
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @mahgister You are well read and make many good points, but spirit doesn't come solely from books and philosophers. Spirit is lived, it is personal experience. I heard much spirit in music I listened to last night, Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variatio... |
