| Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer? Yes, it made a worthwhile improvement in my steaming setup. In my case I place optical between server and Usb renderer (Sotm sms 200 neo, powered by Uptone Js-2 lps). Use two TP Link MC200CM, both powered with LPS for the conversion.Optical conver... | |
| klipsh scala speakers Seems two camps of Klipsch heritage fans, purists and the diy crowd, obviously I'm in latter. How some can like with ss and stock form is beyond me, exponential horns, metal in some models, talk about timbre liabilities! Fortunately, stock Klipsch... | |
| klipsh scala speakers As per above posters, I wouldn't have kept my Klipschorns if kept in stock form, crossover and driver limitations. Some have no problems with Klipsch Heritage series running solid state, no way for me. Tube pre and amp are absolutes for me, the lo... | |
| Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable... So many paths, old or new, does it really matter? I've had a number of new belt drive tt's, some diy modded. Really like the diy modding aspect of audio. Anyway, I now have Technics SP10 MkII, completely refurbished, rebuilt, custom plinth, diy t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Totally agree on sound quality preference I'm looking for in dac. If I need more romance/warmth I can build that in elsewhere in system.Dac topologies aren't my primary concern in dac purchase, whatever the topology I like to see a mature impleme... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Forgot to mention impedance load of speaker, as important or more important that just efficiency. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. My personal journey into tubes. Started with all ss, class ab amp. Next tube preamp with class ab ss amp. Next, more efficient speakers, tube preamp, with class A ss amp, Next, tube preamp with variety of push pull tube amps. Next, even more effi... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio Another reason to like point to point wiring.Seems excessive price to pay for replacement for two 16 pin chipsets, can't estimate their troubleshooting time. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC On presumption of bias by some toward Sabre chip dacs; I can understand that bias as I've heard what some characterize as digititus in particular Sabre dac setups. On the other hand, I've heard very nice presentations of previous Sabre chip dacs i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I also have the 005, extremely highly resolving dac capable of sounding wonderfully natural in sympathetic setup. I've also experienced less than stellar results with various silver components and cabling. In this case I hear no deleterious effect... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Based on my long term experience in audio, lots of characters in this field of endeavor. In early days easy for me to take offense at perceived slights, over time I learned to listen and react in a curious manner. Knowledgeable and courteous respo... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Took delivery of my 2021 Ducati Supersport S yesterday. Fit and finish way above KTM RC390, should be based on price differential. The one thing I didn't expect was the ease of turn in, feels as flickable as KTM, and far more stable in turns than ... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I doubt the vast majority of young or old audiophiles are purchasing and or researching their audio purchases through audio dealers. Nearly all the audiophiles I deal with at any level are diy their systems. Look at plethora of mid level audio ava... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Not sure this is a representative sample, but where are the younger motorcyclists? Often hear talk about the disappearance of younger audiophiles, I fear the future of motorcycling is in greater doubt.I suspect cultural change brought about by inc... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Yep, comfort is an issue as you age, I get leg cramps after riding KTM for a few hours. I was thinking about purchasing an Aprilia RSV4 or Ducati Panagale, nope, not up for that severe lean because of wrist issues and pegs too high, leg cramps any... |
