| Steely Dan UHQR Goodgrief... Aja again?! Everyone just needs to pony up, get a proper table/ phonostage and spend $3 bucks on a AB 1006 stamper at Goodwill. CBT,CTE,PL ...Katy Lied and Royal Scam. There is more to SD than Aja and...Gaucho. | |
| New VPI and Gershman Acoustics Product Debuts at CAF 2023! a red leather VPI turntable? I wonder if this was a hit? | |
| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot Record a video with your phone describing symptoms and send it to the manufacturer. Rogers is supposed to be a customer focused operation. Is deep_333 ...you know who? Looks like the new guy to ignore. | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red Looks like a solid package, along with the rest of your setup. Enjoy it. Future upgrade- go up the food chain with the phonostage. Hear what that $3K cart is capable of with something next level-demo something, if possible. | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Something’s going on, but it’s not the power cable. I’ve used one of these on a tube amp. It lived up to the hype, but after many scotch tape repairs to the candy wrapper (as approved by Pierre’s staff) I switched to over priced fancy stuff. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? Delay wins the internet. Most knowledgeable response in Agon history. WPOD! | |
| Can you touch the tubes? You’re pushing/pulling those tubes in/out of their socket-that’s done by the base of the tube. Vacuum tubes powered WWI/WWII. There wasn’t concern for MIC white gloves and heeding goofy audiophool "rules". Touch the glass if you must- no one is ... | |

| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice " Should i chunk the integrated and Perspectives and invest in a top notch set of headphones (like the Focal Clear MG) and dedicated headphone amp? " Your PL HP has a headphone output. I use one too | |
| Step Up transformer " I’ll never need to upgrade. " If it's a different presentation you're curious about, then a vacuum tube unit is what must hear in your setup. The "better" models seem to sound more "organic" than an equivalent SS unit-IMO. | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter Whatever combination of diffusion/damping needed; I'd look for damping panels that are disguised as windows with an outdoor view- the thought of the room gives me anxiety! I have no idea if a product like that exists, but that would be my vision... | |
| Mystere ia21 a good integrated ? "What others at that price point?" yogiboy- It's a 12 year old amp. Compare it with the $3K tube amps of that time. Some of the features-pentode output(most are ultralinear/triode) stepped volume and the build detail make it stand out. The OP ... | |
| Mystere ia21 a good integrated ? yogiboy-? What are you asking? | |
| Mystere ia21 a good integrated ? It's a nice amp. Maybe more "tubey" sounding and quality build comparing others in the price point. Speaker choice as with most, is paramount. Trust your ears. |
