| 101D Triodes I doubt very much mod is simple, 300B vs 101 tubes have very different operating parameters. I do have personal experience with TJ Full Music 845 tubes, one blew at about 100 hours, never again. There is one other option for 101 tubes, there ... | |
| Current quality of Rune @sls883 You're correct on everything, bridge in dac is endpoint or actual streamer. Agree with the others here, Innuos should be superior. Also agree turning off many of these 'extras' with Roon is good, no volume leveling, throttle library an... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb That's fine to use quotes. As to why I'm choosing 006 over Harmony. Two overarching reasons. First is 006 simply more resolving than Harmony, the added resolution makes all the difference in the world for me. This added resolution wasn't... | |
| 101D Triodes Hey Brad, here is part, https://partsconnexion.com/ohmite-resistor-0r33-0-33r-ohm-12w-ag12-series-1-tolerance/ .33uf 12v 1% tolerance Let me know on 300B mod, I seem to have slightly recall of asking about this, if I remember correctly he wasn't ... | |
| Single ended = large images? I've never experienced instruments out of proportion to humans on any SET amp I've owned or heard at shows, or in other home systems. Now I do hear a certain sound stage difference between SET and push pull tubes or class a/b ss. SET's have this s... | |
| 101D Triodes Israel ended production of 101d tube version for exactly the reason of masses of unreliable quality 101 tubes, this he directly stated to me. He also mentioned quality of these tubes went down over the years, earlier production dates more reliable... | |
| Single ended = large images? I guess I don't understand how images can be considered too large. Are you saying images were larger than normal size humans, anything up to human size would not be unnatural to my mind. Perhaps images seem excessively large due to sound wave ... | |
| Current quality of Rune I agree a one box solution can equal or surpass a two box solution. At issue is the quality of the output or interface (usb, I2S, spdif, etc) of streamer. For instance if one is using a laptop for Roon, no brainer to adopt a two box solution, this... | |
| LAIV Harmony I've determined the Musetec 006 will be my reference dac for the near, perhaps longer term. Both presentations great, just ooze with ease and refinement, holistic, analog like sound quality. This especially true with both dacs slaved or synced to... | |
| LAIV Harmony @catastrofe You have one excess conversion. Why are you doing OpticalModule to MicroRendu, you should be using OpticalRendu, keep it all optical post switch. then OpticalRendu via usb to ddc. I'll reiterate the vast superiority of I2S vs usb with... | |
| Power cord As previously mentioned, go with lending library at CableCompany. Only a survey of cables auditioned in your system will inform you. I went through a ten year period auditioning interconnects, speaker, digital and power cables, many price tiers. | |
| Current quality of Rune A few people claim Roon sound quality not up to par, most don't have issue. My argument is regardless of music player being used, streams should equal sound quality of cd's played via a quality cd transport, or rips on a hard drive. I've run Audir... | |
| 101D Triodes @bradf I also have Coincident Statement, I've used Shuguang, low level Psvane, Psvane WE, Linlai elite solid and mesh plates. I had failures with both Linlai, one failure on the Psvane WE. The cheap Shuguang is only 101 with no failures, problem ... | |
| LAIV Harmony @kereru Not sure what you mean by optical usb isolators. Optical is an ethernet/network conversion. No provision or need to have usb isolator on first optical converter in line, the receiving optical converter has the usb isolation and output. ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Back in the day I used to run push pull amps, can't believe anyone likes 6550's, all balls, no subtlety in my amps and setups, much preferred EL 34 or lower powered KT family. |
