| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better @tomic601 Ha, Lou’s definitely never had fiber. I’m still in SD, just waaay north SD county. Peter of PBN suggested I join as well. I’ve just never looked into it as I travel a bunch for work. To keep on topic, I just started streaming using a PS... | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better @tomic601 Don't go to Solana Beach. As someone from Encinitas I can tell you that those are some freaky folks! | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp I've been using a BAT VK-3IX for several years with many different SS amps, from class A to class D, with great success. I'm always amazed that BAT is rarely suggested in these types of posts.... Just be careful of impedance matching as others h... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s Congrats on the new speakers! I've heard them at Peter's place and they sounded great. I use 2 of Peter's Liberty Audio amps and am very happy. Like you said, PBN doesn't get the press of other manufacturers but his gear is top notch and he's o... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning Ultrasonic and then a Nitty Gritty for me. Great results without having to wait for drying. | |
| Phono Stage: Cornet3 vs Eros 2 vs Parasound Hint6 If you want to DIY take a look at phonoclone.com. The MM only VSPS killed the Schitt Mani 2 and Rega Fono MM. I use the MM/MC Emerald with my own Rega based turntable with Origin Live arm and DL-103 w/ an elliptical stylus and it sounds great. ... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! @loonytunz in my 20s I bought some "Turbo Thrusters" at a garage sale and used them in my garage for years. Finally some mice got in and chewed everything up. For $10 it was an easy throw away. good memories of hanging out in that garage with m... | |
| Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage I've found that BAT gear sounds better using balanced connections myself. Glad it worked out for you. | |
| Really Long XLR This is what is used for ~30ft xlr cables https://douglasconnection.com/product/furez-fz162aa-analog-interconnect-cable-raw/ | |
| What new gear have you just bought? A pair of Liberty Audio B2B-100 amps that are new to me. | |
| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? Have you considered a used BAT preamp. I've been very happy with my VK-3IX, so much so I'm looking to move up the line. And yes, it does have remote capability. I bought mine used without a remote but found a Logitech Harmony works just fine. | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers I heard some AN speakers, not sure the model, at THE Show a few weeks ago. They were placed at the corners of the room and sounded great! Top 5 of THE Show. | |
| Long XLR recommendations @audphile1 Thanks for the info! | |
| Long XLR recommendations Yes, Peter is definitely one of the good guys. I've been lucky enough to hear the PBN line at his house and THE Show. He's going to have his top of the line stuff at THE Show again next weekend. It is really special stuff. I'll probably talk to... | |
| Long XLR recommendations @audphile1 Thanks for the recommendations but that's a bit more than I would like to spend. @soix Thanks for the Audio Envy suggestion. I will probably reach out to them. The Liberty amps are the best I’ve had in my room. I moved from Hypex NC500... |
