| Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP) The Willsenton runs 48wpc, so power output may not be issue. I owned PL Dialogue Four, self modded with Takman and MIflex caps, until very recently. I also own 845 and 300B SET amps. High power SET creates lots of heat, heat is enemy of audio comp... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... As debjit_g mentioned above, conversion of optical back to ethernet is somewhat detrimental, place for noise to re-enter network. And the boards in generic FMC are not optimum. Understanding this is what motivated me to upgrade to Opticalrendu. ... | |
| Contenders are here I ran various model Alons for years, loved the open baffle design. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui I find your experiments extremely interesting. In my limited experience and knowledge of clocks I find a number of issues. I recently tried an audiophile network switch with TXCO clock (marketed as OXCO clock) inferior to router straight o... | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? I like what whart said in regard to windows. I have Khorns, with window on side wall about 12" in front of speaker. I place removable treatments over window during listening sessions. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Yes, future experiments will absolutely compare optimized optical and usb comparisons, also, one computer vs two computer setups. I'd also like to try return to Audirvana, compare with Roon and Roon/ HQPlayer. When I first changed over from previo... | |
| The Cable Co I used them years ago quite extensively, tried many kinds of cables in widely varied price ranges, wanted to understand the contribution of cables in total system. Funny, but since that experience I no longer feel undecided about cables. I've ... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @debjit_g Forgot to mention, I have second ethernet port on my server, so I can do FMC without having to go through an added switch in network. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @debjit_g That seems like logical explanation, I suspect the modified Sonore Opticalmodule within Small Green Computer SonicTransporter Optical I9 would provide better isolation from motherboard. Unfortunately, this doesn't provide for optimal usb... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @tksteingraber Not sure what you mean by after streamer. Streamers generally do usb straight into dac, if you converted usb to fiber you'd have to have fiber input on dac. Generally, fiber is used to convert ethernet to fiber, this goes into serve... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... The end of production for DejaVu was bummer for me, JCAT usb major calling card for me. Debjit_J, interesting you found JCAT superior to Fiber NIC, wonder if fiber prior to server had bearing on this? It may also be what comes after usb or fib... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming You'll find diverse opinions on most streaming products, in the end one has to determine for self. The good thing about the FMC experiment is it can be done for less than $100, where can you find such a deal in audio! If experience promising you c... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. The beauty of streaming is you can make it simple or complex. Simple, get a server, plug in usb cable to dac, done. The software side is something you get familiar with over time. Streaming became complicated when manufacturers came up with us... | |

Guys there have much experience in everything from beginning to sota streaming. I'm using them as resource for upcoming diy server build, one of the builds over ther... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek Here are pictures of one of my amps, https://6moons.com/audioreviews2/coincident2/2.html This is what I call neat and tidy. |
