| Change Revel BE driver color to black? This is just stoopid and silly. | |
| Triode Wire Labs Email him — he seems pretty responsive. | |
| I wish Ayre made a portable headphone amp This Aurender Flow would be worth a look… https://www.ebay.com/itm/204566910521 Here’s a Stereophile review where JA compares it directly to the Pono that you might find interesting… https://www.stereophile.com/content/aurender-flow-da-headphone... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off +1 @charliee Few of his posts make any sense, and he’s nothing if not consistent which is why I no longer read any of his inane threads. My amp runs at 80 Watts at idle, which doesn’t kill the environment. All my lawn care equipment runs on batte... | |
| Interconnects Yeah, don’t put the cart before the horse. Settle into the new amp first and go from there. I agree that your equipment could benefit significantly from better interconnects when the time comes. The good news is it’s really easy to buy/sell use... | |
| Aurender Model Choices +1 @ghdprentice Building a system is all about balance, and spending $12k on a streamer in your current system is over the top IMHO. You’re better off taking that other $6k and upgrading another component, adding room treatments, etc. The N200 ... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off To your point, is there a real chance an amp could lead to a claim? It's extremely remote. @bigtwin So, in your 20 years in the insurance biz did you ever see a claim based on audio equipment being left on? How about a refrigerator? That’s ... | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers Here’s a wonderful amp — it’s Class A but as it’s on the smaller side and only puts out 12Wpc it won’t act like a space heater and deliver the sonic goods… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650057786-valvet-e3-stereo-single-ended-amplifier/ ... | |
| Interconnects What specific improvements would you like to achieve from your current interconnects? | |
| 5k budget - streamer for Technics SU-R1000 ? The Innuos Pulse would be a great choice, or if you don’t use Roon the best Aurender unit you can afford would also be great. | |
| A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler ProJect has had significant reliability issues that are worth considering. | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off Don’t unwittingly make a fire hazard or an insurance claim hazard. Once you know folks who’ve gone through this, you develop caution by virtue of proximity. @benanders Exactly how many people do you know who’ve had a fire hazard from audio equ... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off Contrary to some other comments about power cycling, that’s not the main issue with solid-state amps. @aball What’s your evidence to support this? Steve McCormack advises to leave his amps on (again, not Class A SS amps) to the point when they... | |
| Breaking (burning) in new DAC First world problems. Buy a cheap pair of powered speakers you can maybe repurpose or buy some cheap tubes you can use while the DAC settles in. | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Save your money on this snake oil and use a fairly heavy duty stranded lanp cord line. Never heard any differance between most cables @stealthdeburgo Well, you’re in the vast minority here. Sorry you are apparently unable to hear differences ... |
