| 6922 Preamp Tube Recommendations Decware Steve thinks highly of these tubes as well as others. I have not purchased any. They are above my price point for new tubes and I have always preferred NOS. I prefer French made Dario Miniwatt / Mazda E188CC or Dutch Amperex E188CC/7308... | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey Agree a quality streamer makes a huge difference. When I upgraded from my audio use only PC laptop to a Bricasti M5 (on my 2 channel system) it was an eye opener. Total believer now. Also, having it as a network player is another step up keeping y... | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey Nice choices … you will be rewarded going digital. I did something similar. I decided to add digital to my modest home theatre system. Already had digital on my main system. My biggest improvement was replacing my macbook laptop with a dedicate... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! I have had mine for about 2 weeks now and I am a believer. Took a few days to really settle in. Mine is plugged into my duplex feeding my Home Theatre power conditioner which does double duty as a 2 channel stereo. Music just sounds better and... | |

| Qobuz hell I have done a Qobuz trial twice because of all the praise here. Both times I cancelled before the trial end and received an email confirmation saying thank you and that I can continue using it until the full trial time is over…. No issues here. Du... | |
| Streamer for mostly Qobuz with volume control Check out the iFi Stream. Plays way above it’s $399. I have one on my second system with LPS and optical isolation on the ethernet feed. It really sounds amazing for its price. It has an AP that allows volume control, USB or coax input. Roon, ... | |
| Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC Sure enough…I bought a new Topping P50 and it works perfectly with my Zen Stream. The open box one must have been defective. Glad I gave it a second try it is a nice improvement over stock plug. | |
| Bricasti M5 vs Ultrarendu Advice? @mastering92 the i5 is the newest current version and the cord is Fiber Patch Cable - LC to LC OS2 10Gb/Gigabit Singlemode Jumper Duplex 9/125 LSZH Fiber Optic Cord for SMF SFP Transceiver. Thanks | |
| Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC Interesting…I purchased an open box (like new) Topping P 50 for my Zen Stream and 2 FMC’s. When I connected the Steam (no FMC’s) the Stream Led would light up but would not function. When I plugged the stock power plug in the Stream it worked p... | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp @ricevs VTV or Peachtree that is the question? Any benefit of one over the other? Both have 30 day return, $100 apart and very similar build. I plan on trying one of them with an Zen Ifi stream/ sonic transporter with roon sharing main speak... | |
| Favourite Guitarists Nice list…Sooo Sooo many…. Gotta add Hendrix, Kossoff, Mike Bloomfield , Billy Gibbons, Joanne Shaw Taylor, John Mayer and Joe Walsh (way underrated). | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp @ricevs thanks for the detailed info. Very helpful and insightful. Just would prefer a remote volume on the amp and not have to rely on ap’s, additional components or select streamers/players. All Digital seems like a great way to go if you are... | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp Love the simplicity and value but what is the solution for remote volume control? | |
| Anthem STF Integrated ARC This is where I would start get internet in your room. I don’t have ARC so no help on the interface. Good luck. |
