| 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 ... | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. With speakers need to measure in room response, all rooms different. Do this at home, you'll find best placement for speakers and seating position. Measurements from some review or spec page only tell you so much. | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Many years ago I discovered over at audiophilestyle forum, devices that run at various voltages will take the higher voltage and throw excess off as heat, lower voltages will consume more of supplied voltage, thus, less waste and heat. On the oth... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac The lps on router was relatively large change IME. I don't understand why you're using usb when you have Synology NAS. NAS is network only connection, likely superior to any usb storage. I use AQ Vodka ethernet cable with my Synology NAS, better t... | |
| Reliable source Psvane CV181-T MKII Actually, I'd recommend Linlai Elite if they make that particular tube. Linlai has replaced Psvane there, at least you know backed by good warranty purchasing from them. | |
| Reliable source Psvane CV181-T MKII Since Grant Fidelity dropped Psvane, hard to find reliable source. Never tried Viva as I've found their prices excessive. If they have good warranty service could be ok source. I've found Woo Audio a good source here in US, not sure they have that... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac Sorry about the dog, I have cats, when pets suffering not good. Hopefully streaming stays up and running with that Mac OS. I'd still try the router direct to MA3 and see how the two compare. Ghasley correct, forget usb, NAS on network, you... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? You think etherregen hot, try 845 SET amp, damn thing is wonderful space heater in winter, summer forgetaboutit. | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac I'm not saying mac mini is at top of servers list, but OP already has one, only needs OS update to get it back to operable state. Also, I suspect many have underestimated optimized and modded mini as server only. Certainly as a renderer it is ... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac Forget about the recommendation of I9 and OR, forgot you have streaming dac! Anyway, still try to get MM up and running. Another option if I were in your shoes is Antipodes K series, not the K50 as you don't need rendering capabilities. One of... |
