| Elrog 300b vs we300b Charles, it may be due to the rugged build quality of the 'real' WE's, Makes sense a rugged tube run harder would have greater drive as it may be running in it's sweet spot vs. less rugged which may be on knife edge of performance envelope. If thi... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @charles1dad I can only tell you I've not seen a single instance of premature failure of WE, only other tube meets this threshold is EML XLS. This through years of research of nearly all forums on interweb. I worry about durability of every other ... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Continuing experimentation with optical continues causing me to reassess its value in all instances. I've been using generic FMC, with lps and quality power cables prior to server for past month or so, thought I had pretty good handle on sound qua... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b The Psvane and Linlai WE clones aren't their top of line tubes, wouldn't expect they'd compete with the real WE. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @rrboogie I'm biased in that I believe the preamp should be considered as package with sources, ie. as important as the source itself. 005 potential such that it could benefit from cost no object pre's, I've used 005 straight thru, no pre, with M... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Test of transparency is between no Loki in system vs Loki. Assuming no absolute transparency, I can see the tradeoffs being in Loki's favor. As with @ghdprentice I have no need, have voiced system to sound best with widest variety of recordings. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara So I spoke with Andrew at SGC, states they continually receive promises of parts delivery, never delivered, so in process of redesigning OR and OM, who knows when these become available again. These supply chain issues are crazy ... | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? I'd bet best VD power cord on every component would be better yet. Weak links are still weak links, just altering where you place them, hoping weakest link is on least important component. I gave up on this way of thinking over time, now I just bi... | |
| Cables recommendation I've been observing cable threads for far too long. I can never makes heads or tails of them, I'm sure I could collate the entirety of them and find reviews claiming a particular cable or line of cables as best ever, others would state it being te... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . I've never experienced an absolutely transparent component, can't believe this has absolutely no sound signature. | |
| I need advice on a 300b tube That tube is dead, do not use. Also, tubes don't repair themselves, may only cause harm to your amp if continue to use. Most humming, popping, many types of sudden distortion are tube related issue, always replace suspect tube with known good tube... | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... Wow, a blast from the past, I had Alon IV's many, many years ago, purchased them from Arnie, founder of Audiogon. I modded those things to nth degree, went to the Alnico magnets, modded baffles and bass box. Later on went to the Lotus SE when I we... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @gladmo I have Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router, using TeraDak 12v 4amp lps. More than enough amps, been running for at least couple years 24/7, runs just warm to touch. On modem front, experimented with various setups. I'm lucky in that my cab... | |
| Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime I have far too much physical media, both cd's and vinyl. I was culling the cd collection a few years ago, too daunting a task to organize everything, and don't have the time. Perhaps when I retire, whenever that is, no intentions of ever retiring,... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @gladmo I have BPT 3.5 Signature modified with Oyaide R1 and PorterPort AC receptacles, Jantzen Z Superior 1200V caps. This is balanced transformer based pc, my preference is for transformer pc's after auditioning many others over the years. With ... |
