| Balls..... I did a number of transactions with Steve some years ago when I was running VPI, reputable business. | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? F22 Raptor sitting in place like helicopter, nose pointed straight up, wow!Long term loud would have been Mitch Ryder & Detroit Wheels, standing directly in front of speaker stack, stoned and drunk. | |
| Vintage tubes - facts, science, technology & empirical evidence VS. marketing, myth & hype Vintage tubes were likely produced in much higher quantities, tubes used in nearly every electronic gadget and the war effort. Mass production likely meant more experienced workers producing them and perhaps higher quality control. Durability also... | |
| Network Switches Lalitk, I've researched your Telegartner switch in past, certainly impressed with technology. I'd expect lowered noise floor, so improved detail, transparency, etc. Based on reviews the only sound signature from the unit is 'natural'. I've seen ma... | |
| Network Switches Well, at present I have switch playing 24/7, and I'll try one of my power cords that fit sound signature I'm looking for. Burn in and pc issues will be moot at that point. $3500 for Innuos a little steep for me. Uptone switch would be next try, th... | |

| Which makes the biggest difference? +1, Fiber optical conversion in house big improvement. In fact the whole house network extremely important for streaming.I see the amplifier as separate from digital, preamp important only because it's volume control may be used in place of dac vo... | |
| New Preamplifier Testing (Poor sound) I'd consider Cambridge to Rotel sideways move more than upgrade. Dac direct can be preferable to some preamps. IME, high quality active preamp is way to go. Integrated could be good or not, some are nothing but amps with passive volume control. St... | |
| 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. |
