| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? Music reflects the zeitgeist of the time made in. 1940's-war years and aftermath,pre and mid war, music reflected determination and togetherness of war effort, post-celebration and optimism. 1950's-happy times, optimism continues, a more innocent... | |
| Listening at Night vs. Day Your analysis seems spot on. In my case, I came to a slightly different conclusion. Over the last couple of years I experimented with powering my preamp and dac with lithium ion battery pack.For a period of time I convinced myself system sounded b... | |
| Who’s into indie? I don't know that indie exists as a separate genre today, kind of morphed into many sub-genres. I stream almost exclusively and discover new artists everyday which leads into more new artists, I can't even tell you what genre much of the music fal... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? My sense is music in those eras was more a shared experience, we all knew the popular songs, they were a soundtrack to our lives. We had limited sources for listening to music, and those sources tended to play the same songs and artists. As music ... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Proprietary software is my issue, I have to purchase Innuous and stick with it? I do agree that music player software has differing sound qualities. When switching to Roon from Audirvana I was somewhat disappointed, still, I love Roon interface. A... | |
| Is lack of xlr connects on preamp ok if streaming? Some dacs and/or servers optimize balanced output. While single ended only may be ok in short run, what if you change out equipment, I want both SE and balanced ins on my pre. And then there is issue of pre being true balanced design, preferable t... | |
| Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG OP states ad was deceptive, later on the term shady was used. While original ad may have left pertinent information out, I still wouldn't call it deceptive or shady. A single email brought about full disclosure, the OP is out a single email. You s... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Charles,I originally was going to diy the Amtrans, wiring of MKI volume transformer different than MKII, so not so straightforward. Israel did send me wiring illustration for Amtrans to MkI trans. Ultimately decided I wanted the upgraded transform... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Two caps in PS, two in signal chassis. As for improved timbre, I'd suggest some or most of that improvement comes from both volume transformers and Amtrans volume selector, although having used Muse caps in prior mods in other equipment I can assu... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Certainly, Mki version doesn't have problem with timbre, its just that with Nichicon Muse vs. Rubycon just a bit more, when you hear you'll know. The greatest upgrade is the more precise sound staging, imaging. Can't recall if he or I brought up t... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Reliability and durability are an important consideration in my tube purchases. At this point EML front runner, Liquidsound's review of LinLai will have major bearing on ultimate choice. As he previously mentioned, and I experienced with LInLai 10... | |
| Network Switches Listened to my recently purchased RenoLabs Ultimate switch first time. Right off heard increase in resolution, lower noise floor thing. Initially, most noticeable were sound stage or, imaging improvements, a little more 'pop' or separation of in... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? Thank you to Charles and other's input. And Charles, thanks for more in depth impressions of EML. I don't want to hijack thread, but for Charles, and anyone else using Coincident Statement pre. I got the MK II upgrade along with further upgrade of... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? In watching many threads and forums over the years the only 300B tubes that don't seem to have durability issues are the EML, WE and Shuguang Black Treasure. Don't recall ever seeing a single failure of any. I'd say Psvane has a pretty good track ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Well, the advantage of streaming is at least you didn't have to purchase the cd or vinyl only to find poorer sound quality than expected. Download service providers should provide provenance, entire history. I thought HD Tracks did that, haven't ... |
