| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mijostyn Hi, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve already started doing that. For a year or so I was only streaming lossless from my iPhone over Bluetooth, but have recently purchased an Eversolo A8 and signed up with Qobuz. Then I imported my App... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mijostyn No, I haven’t ever heard a super high end player, but have owned some lo-fi/mid-fi players. And I’ve only heard reel-to-reel and few times. The first was in the ‘70s playing Fleetwood Mac and I was so blown away by the sound, it left an ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mgattmch wow, great link! Thank you. | |
| Share Your Playlist @carlsbad2 That’s pretty gross because Fujiyama Mama was written in 1954 and recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1957. You must have an impressive RASH. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album How do the albums sound compared to a digital master of the same album? LPs make me cringe. If I were to go vintage, it would be reel-to-reel, but finding music would be difficult - so I’d have to record it from a digital source. | |

| why expensive streamers If you are streaming from an iPhone make sure you have Audio Quality set to Lossless Audio (Settings-Music-Audio Quality) Not all iPhones have this setting, but my 13 Pro Max does and it makes a huge difference. Also, I’ve found my Bluetooth conne... | |
| Any comments on the Slash 3/6 Bluetooth adapter? Since no one commented, here’s mine: The Slash 3 has more gain than simply plugging into the bottom of my iPhone and going to RCA’s. The soundstage with the Slash 3 is huge, vocals and highs are much better. The cables on the Slash 3 might be b... | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? My experience with Cary’s service was so bad I never unboxed my unit. I could never recommend this brand. | |
| Digital Remasters, Tapes & Records I meant tape hiss from tapes played on reel or cassette, not LPs. I have an audio-technica table & MC with a Cambridge phono amp. & a CJ PV12, 140 watt rev.3 atma-sphere amps, ZeroBox autoformers, Vandersteen 3a sigs & Chord’s Huggo TT. | |
| Anticables I have bi-wired solid core ANTICABLES & ZEROBOXES with Vandersteen 3a Signatures and a 140 watt Atma-sphere. Sounds great!I’m also using Gold ANTICABLE XLRs out of my preamp. Love them.I’d like to try Paul’s power cables, but I currently have ... | |
