| Are Tube Buffers for real or even worth it ? Really like my Black Ice Foz SSX 3D sound expander. Can’t really explain why but it just sounds better with it. Bass control and Sound stage expander control is subtle with minor impact. Have a NOS 60’s Westinghouse long Carbon Plate 12au7 tube... | |
| Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy Sorry to hear any manufacturer going bankrupt. All serve their purpose in engaging people with their music. I own a C-7030 CD Player/Transport on my second system and I have tried replacing it but keep coming back to it. Amazing sound to price va... | |
| Any Decemberists fans out there? Saw them at the Greek Theatre Berkeley, Ca a couple years ago. Great show and I have been a fan ever since. Mesmerizing vocals, interesting different song writing and who doesn’t like an accordion. | |
| 12x7 tubes @bigmac1963 Tungsram make great tubes I would expect you will be very happy with them. I have some Tungsram 70’s 12at7’s in my raven amp and they are my best sounding 12at7. Great dynamics, soundstage and clarity. I have not heard their 12ax7’... | |
| 12x7 tubes I was in checking tubes out on BJ’s website and saw he had Ge/ Kentucky Radio pewter plates in stock. You might want to inquire on those. A little more cost than the Tungsram and Ge long gray plates. They are exceptional ...as good as RCA blac... | |
| 12x7 tubes I have a Black Ice Dac and have rolled many tubes. I prefer a warmer tube so my favorites are Mullard f91/92 long plates late ‘50’s are just exceptional. Pricey not overrated in my ears but the real deal. Close second are ‘50’s Rca long Black Pl... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size @ozzy thanks for the update. I have a rf router box on order. Can you provide more detail on how you have it wired to each component/ground box? Is your 7000 only connected to the router wall plug no ground boxes. Are your speakers connected to... | |

| Best unplugged live Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds “Live at Radio City”. Nothing like acoustic guitars flying around the room like bats! | |
| Grounding cable gauge size Fun project…Thought I would share my findings after several weeks of using and adjusting my 3 DIY ground boxes. Now obviously each system and home electrical grid is different and will experience different results. My system is not super revealin... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size Nice…thanks for sharing design pics. What are your box dimensions? So just trying to understand the battery like set up. Would your box be connected to a component on the copper banana so the aluminum draws the noise through the mix and then ou... | |
| Which tube spots for which affects? This is hard to generalize since each system responds differently towards tube rolling. I am a Raven Blackhawk owner and have found the row one seems to respond the most and row 3 the least to tube changes. In my system I have found that Row 1 i... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size @bugredmachine in checking my DAC’ s ground wiring it’s IEC ground is connected to a chassis connection and from there a ground wire connects to circuit board. No direct wires from the chassis ground to RCA or XLR’s. Is this considered a signal g... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size How about connecting the RA Router MkII box to a large ground box instead of connecting to a ground rod and avoid plugging onto an outlet? | |
| Grounding cable gauge size @bugredmachine could explain what a non A/C ground would look like connection wise on a component? Would that only apply to two prong components? Thanks Fyi - I contacted RA to see if the RF Router Plug-in and the RF Router MkII box performed... |
