| Network Switches If I continue to hear deficiency of new switch, along with it's improvements, the question becomes. What would a much more expensive switch like the Innuos bring to the party? Is lower noise floor sole improvement, or are you paying that extra mon... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream Certainly I understand the symbolism physical representations of music mean to some, for those people the monopolization of music as commodity will mean something lost. And I also understand growing commoditization of everything undermines our ver... | |
| Network Switches I've heard that prior to using LPS and power conditioner on every single network piece. I'm also thinking perhaps the signature thing was less noticeable in past since streaming solution not as mature, advanced as now. Past upgrades improved noise... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream Audiodidact, streaming doesn't have to be a case of throwing away the baby with the bath water. I have well over 2500 vinyl, over 3500 cd and way more streams on playlists and favorites. Physical cd's not missed, small format lessened intrinsic va... | |
| Network Switches Recently added network switch, has imposed sound signature. I received expected benefit of lower noise floor, more detail, resolution, transparency, didn't expect so much or any impact on the quality of sound. Just a bit less natural sound than pr... | |
| Noise floors 4krowme, environmental noise, also often called noise pollution. Ambient or environmental noise levels have risen over time, nearly imperceptible to most of us as such a gradual process. The drone of heavy traffic in urban or suburban area would ... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Yep, that's the tube tester used by my source. | |
| Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo? jwlaudio, you're on the right track with Decware amp. I used the Hyperion with my modded Klipschorns, not a good match. I'd stay with tube amp for Klipsch. And you don't need that much power anyway, if you want ss amp try the Musical Fidelity M2si... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Appreciate the review. Funny, but I could almost repeat word for word my impressions of LinLai Elite mesh plate 101d. Could it be there is a 'house' sound for LinLai Elite. I'm now much closer to pulling the trigger on Elite 300, the only remainin... | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Chakster, you're lucky. If one has been in regular service since new there is better chance those caps may survive longer, if purchaser doesn't know service history I'd definitely change out caps. Sitting is not good for electrolytic caps. Regardl... | |
| RIP Nanci Only 68, sad, she will be missed. I'll listen to some of my favorites tomorrow night's listening session. | |
| Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo? Couple years ago looking for summertime ss amp to replace my 845SET tube amp/space heater. Had both Musical Fidelity M2si and Hyperion in for audition, much preferred MF. In my setup the Hyperion was overtly dark, closed in, small sound stage, im... | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Purchased mine from Australia, completely rebuilt and cosmetically restored, may look better than new. There are plenty of people to work on them if not rebuilt. Personally, I wouldn't operate one that's never been recapped and calibrated, those ... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) Not in the least surprising, I doubt very few audiophiles have both state of art analog and digital setups, and even then, is that particular setup the objective arbiter. IME, analog better than digital, digital comes back and takes the lead, nope... | |
| The best room upgrade: $2250 These ideas should be thought of as room treatments as much as insulation. I was originator of ambient noise levels in listening room thread, more evidence for how minimizing that can improve the listening experience here. |
