| How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb? I think the real concern here is, would the light bulb still be burning had we left it on continuously rather than turning it on and off? Also before we change the bulb, don’t we owe it to ourselves to do so in home demos before we buy. I think Ho... | |
| 6h30 tubes dampers to replace Audio Research ones I have had both an LS26 and now a REF5se, and on the LS26 I tried Herbies and one other that escapes me now and wound up using the ARC original dampers. What I do though, is replace them every 8000 hours or 2nd tube change. I figure any rubber pro... | |

| Turntable problem I would agree with noromance, if it turns off after period of listening and it is approx the same time each time, check the circuit board for a burned or swollen capacitor. | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 set display off/on. Are you turning off the power to the unit or the system? Because it will default to display on every time it loses power. I had an LS26 and now. REF5se and the display is off unless I lose power, make volume, input etc. adjustments and when I turn... | |

| Anyone listening to the multichannel SACD’s ? I have always enjoyed the 5.1 sound on both SACD and DVD-A. It’s not availabile anymore but if you can find Roxy Music Avalon it is one of the best mixes. | |
| Sennhieser 650's Interesting, my system is all Cardas but never bothered with the headphones. Mine are 650’s as well, I guess I will look at getting a set | |
| Am I deaf? No apologies necessary 2channel8. The beauty of this hobby/passion is there is no real Absolute. Each of use hear and listen differently. As with our taste buds some like rum, some like wine, some like both. In the end we have one person to please... | |
| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp mr_m, I never got to try the Codex , although I was attracted to it, just never pursued it. I would love to try the newer Ayre DACs, but budget didn’t have it at the time I bought the Cutest. As mentioned it provided the sound I wanted and was muc... | |

| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp I bought the Node2 a few months ago to better the sound over the Sonos, which it did. at the time I was using a Rega DAC. However I did for about a week run Node2 directly to PreAmp and it was much better than the Sonos. And thru the Rega DAC it f... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Robob, thank you for responding. I haven’t had a chance to hear one yet but the press almost puts it in a “no brainer” category. There isn’t a dealer in my area that has one for me to try. I have been using an old Linn Linto which works well, but ... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Robob, if I read this correctly, you’re using a standard Kleos with JC3+ currently? I have a Kleos as well and want to get a new phono stage. If you do have the JC3+, what has been your overall assessment of it compatibility with the Kleos?Also cu... |
