| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @lcherepkai Thanks…no I do not know of anyone trying the Rhodium/TCopper slug from Verifiaudio. It’s too pricey for me and I’d rather spend that $ towards a second SFB and use the silver slugs. I do like their gold/copper slug as well for bright... | |
| Audio envy - dang! I would ask Cap, he is very responsive and helpful. Try the expanded when they arrive you might be surprised. I would think the Mega is a good choice. Only way to know is try one. With AE’s 45 day return policy no risk. | |
| Music Disappearing (Roon/Tidal/Qobuz) I have seen some come up “unavailable” in red on Roon with Qobuz ie. Pink Floyd Meddle and OBC yesterday. Good to go today. Kingfish LIL is available to me now. | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @lcherepkai any updates on the various metal slugs you ordered? I’m a silver fan. Thanks | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget My take…No doubt your room is very important. Percentages are just a rough guide that may or may apply very differently to audio junkies. They are most applicable to dedicated room treatments or construction and may very minimally apply to livi... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz I too would still be with Tidal if they hadn’t cold-cocked us with dropping the Best Buy annual membership mid year and made us subscribe at twice the monthly price for Hi-Res. I drop-kicked Tidal’s plan, signed up for a year with Quboz, transfer... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget @erik_squires 100% agree spending time/attention and experimenting with an open mind can pay huge dividends. It has for me. It seems to me many give up on a component/speaker prior to finding their true maximum performance and assuming a more exp... | |
| Lab12 Integre4 review from new owner Fantastic DAC for all the music I listen to. Blues, folk, jazz, rock but I don’t listen to heavy metal rock, electronica, hip hop…Eagles, Dire Strait, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Counting Crows are a few examples that sound great. Tube choice makes... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator For anyone interested…Have had a few days now with my 2 Pink Faun ethernet isolators. Well, I have to say they are doing something not for the good when plugged directly into my Bricasti M5 streamer. It takes the life out of the music. Really noti... | |
| What to do with a large collection After 2 years selling on ebay time to liquidate CD’s. Just scanned in the remainder of my CD collection using Decluttr. Have about 240 CD’s of which they accepted 60 for $7.00 and they provided a free shipping label to GA. Went fast with their... | |
| What to do with a large collection Likewise I have been selling my LP’s I no longer use and my entire CD selection on ebay the past 2 years. I group most by artist or similar genre and try to sell as collections when I can. Most LP’s sold well but CD’s sell slooow. All priced to... | |
| What use to burn in power cords? Yes this is what I use on my garage refrigerator and 100w shop light. Leave it on for a week or so. Seems to do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Computer-Power-Cord-PAC100/dp/B00066HQ50 | |
| Audio envy - dang! @nutty I don’t own any regular OE expanded. I did compare it (on my tube preamp) to an OE elite 3 and the expanded with ground upgrade is much better it all ways. Cap told me that he highly recommended the ground upgrade and it is well worth it.... | |
| Audio envy - dang! @nutty don’t see these recepticals on AE’s website to order. Is this an ask Cap special order only? Price? Thanks Also, I have now had my new OE Expanded with ground upgrade power cable for 2 weeks and it is a really nice step up. Everything i... | |
