| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? @russ69 How would the Musical Fidelity compare with the Yamaha AS801?@hilde45 I'll throw some comforters and pillows around this weekend and see what happens. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? @erik_squires That is a great idea. Will do that. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Onix Rocket RS750. I really like them. Laid back. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? @dekay I've tried a few different tubes. Right now I'm using GE 5751 from 1955. I had Mullard 12AX1s from '67 before that. @erik_squires Room acoustics are probably not great. Hardwood floor with an area rug covering most of it. Hard objects ... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) @sfseay At 699 is there another amp that sounds as good with the same features? | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) Well, I found the AS801 for a good price so I grabbed it. This will be an interesting experiment.

| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC I've been down this road with Roon. You can do everything absolutely perfectly, the way Roon says you should, or you can just use what you have and if you think something is missing, make a change later. Try Roon and see how you like it before i... | |
| Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC I returned a Node 2 and bought a cheap Dell. I can do much more with the laptop and sound is no different (to me). Running laptop (with Roon, Audirvana, Deezer and Tidal) to Ayre Codex then Jolida amp. Also sending to Raspberry Pi in another roo... | |
| $1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range? I love my Wharfedale 225. I can listen for hours with no fatigue. I'm buying a second set...... Everything else gives me a headache. | |
