| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? Thanks very much dogearedaudio and kr4 ! At this point, it still seems more complicated, more $, and less appealing to go wireless for this situation than using my current computer keyboard and monitor setup - all to simply solve for a cable issu... | |
| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? Corning Optical USB. I use a 10m version, the shortest one. 😊 @kr4 yes that was my first thought! Unfortunately, Corning no longer seems to make or sell these and, as I indicated in my original post, I’m reluctant to try a used one, even if I c... | |
| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? Use something like this at one end: mike_in_nchttps://www.amazon.com/Herfair-Adapter-Printer-Converter-Connector/dp/B0BYJJRF4L Thanks, @mike_in_nc . This looks like what I'd need if I used an optical cable (or similar) with two male A ends? ... | |
| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? Have you considered getting a dedicated streamer instead of using a PC? You could then put a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh node close to your system and run an Ethernet cable from that to the streamer and a much shorter USB cable to your DAC. No long ca... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements Regarding attempting to buy the tweeters through allicdata, my purchase seems to be in some kind of limbo. The sight is a bit strange in that you create an order, and they are supposed to get back to you with a quote. Although the amount for the... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements Either the music and/or the room was off in the demos I found (one video showed a wall of glass close to and directly behind the speakers). I tend to agree - for the Tantos but also for a lot of other audio gear. Online reviews of your speake... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements After reading multiple reviews of the Tanto V1 I tried to find a good sound demo, but only found bad ones. I'm not sure what you mean by a sound demo? Do you mean in-store, at a show, or online? I tend to think it's very difficult to find any... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements DeKay, thanks for the great explanation! I generally like the sound of the Tantos and have always believed that a large reason for their clarity is due to the lack of a crossover. I have no real experience in speaker design, though, so that has ... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements I just looked at the sensitivity spec of around 85dB @ 4 ohms. The low spec # is how the designer padded it down. Hi DeKay. What do you mean by "padded it down"? Sorry if this is a nooby question. | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements @dekay, apologies, that does look like the correct replacement. Not sure about shipping from HK to US (or how reliable/trustworthy they are), but it may be something to look into so thanks for the link. I'm still interested, however, in hearing ... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements Thanks for the replies. Though I wasn't able to find an exact replacement at allicdata.com - or anywhere else - Madisound may have a suitable replacement. I was hoping, however, that there may be some forum members who have actual experience wit... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thanks, @danmar123, I appreciate your response! It would be interesting to hear any other feedback on the Linlai Global Es - especially comparisons with other tubes - and perhaps including thoughts on the bass region. Â | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123, thanks very much for reporting back. Can you describe any specific characteristics regarding the Linlai Globals in comparison to your other tubes? I realize everyone’s system and ears are different, but it may be helpful to know what a... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123, apologies, I'm not sure which post you mean. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thanks, @lowrider57! Please let us know if you hear back. This may make sense based on the info from @pindac on the last page. The Linlai Global website includes the following phrase describing the Global series:  ...without exaggerating... |
