| Storing tube gear Lewm makes a good point. Leave 'em in. And so does Azjake, esp. if you live in an area with extreme temperature swings (seems like that applies to all of us, lately). | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? Jea48- Save the bandwidth. He's not listening. Or he can't read. Or he believes that the building and electrical code writing authorities are conspiring w Bose to make us listen to inferior sound ;-) | |
| Storing tube gear I'd remove them, but for only a few months, I don't think it's a big deal either way. | |
| mMarantz 2325 help Not meaning to argue w you, ZD and admittedly w/o any personal knowledge of that unit, I'd not be so sure that it's inferior to modest priced current MM stages. Remember that there were no CDs back then, so phono stage performance was very importa... | |
| Best Transport for Tidal Thx, Mofi. I'm running LMS on my MusicVault so I'll check out those links and see what happens. | |
| analysis plus oval 8 vs purist venustas Nsgarch gives you very good advice. The most important thing to remember about cables, AC cords and interconnects, is that the vast majority of the time, their performance is totally system-dependent. There is very little that one can reliably say... | |
| Best Transport for Tidal Cerrot- I think you'll like the modwright transport. I'm using one to play files from my Musicvault server and it also sounds pretty darn good w the Pandora1 (the higher bit-rate service). Can someone tell me in fairly basic terms what I need to d... | |
| Rip or Copy? Ptss- I'm a consulting wetland scientist. | |
| mMarantz 2325 help Any source with a line level output will work just fine. | |
| Seller fraud: any lawyer/audiophiles in NY state? My understanding is that you have to make the first contact under those rules. I'm not a lawyer but I play one on TV. | |
| Rip or Copy? iTunes comes in versions compatible w mac or pc. There are DACs that accept a USB input from your pc and many of the smaller/less expensive ones like the AQ Dragonfly or the HRT II+ offer very good SQ. You can try computeraudiophile.com for more i... | |
| Different subs in pairs? If you were going to run two mono subs, then they could be different without, it seems to me, too much concern. If I was running mono subs (which in a way I am) I would want them to be identical for several reasons, not the least of which would be... | |
| Seller fraud: any lawyer/audiophiles in NY state? Zephyr- Not sure about this but in some states, lawyers are prohibited from reaching out in a way that could be construed as soliciting for business. That might be why you have not gotten a response. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? FWIW, my understanding of the "50/50 rule" is that it basically means that, on the average, the ultimate polarity of the recording (or any single track in it) is essentially random due to the many factors that Al and others have elucidated. That d... | |
| Tube life in preamp. Please help Pre-amp tubes typically have a very long operating life (there are exceptions). In stand-by mode, there should be no appreciable effect on lifespan. There is even an argument to be made that doing so will lengthen tube life by eliminating current ... |
