| Duelund speaker cable Just made a 2m set of speakers with Duelund DCA10GA. I twisted + and - within a 7mm cotton sleeve with bananas at the amp with bare wire at the speakers. Out of the box without break-in these cables are just a “Wow” just great sounding. Music j... | |
| New Fritz Speakers: Carerra R Price and high fatigue feedback may be major contributors…Last I heard you can contact Fritz and work with him to special order non-returnable floor standing speakers. If interested, it would be worth a call to see if he offers them anymore…but b... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado Same experience here as many have posted. Had an excellent experience buying from them. Good price and excellent service. Their offers to buy components are low and you are much better off selling on your own if you are willing to do the legwork. ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock Read this on line…“The PCM58 DAC chip is a true multi-bit R2R (Resistor Ladder) DAC and not a Delta-Sigma DAC” | |
| Power supply to modem make a difference? I added an LPS to my main xfinity modem/router which is located in another room from my main system. Also, I added another one on my mesh router that feeds my main system’s streamer. My streamer also has an Lps built into the unit. Did the Lp... | |
| Mullard EL34 that sounds best @inna How are those old stock Mullard EL34 xf2’s sound in your VAC? Better than your SED’s? | |
| A question about tube rolling Yes, I have done quite a bit of tube rolling. The biggest change was when I upgraded my first row of 12AT7 in my Raven Blackhawk amp to Brimar 6060 Yellow T’s. I was shocked of the SQ improvement over my favorite Mullard ‘59 square getter, RCA a... | |
| Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC @aberyclark EZ…Plug P50 into duplex outlet. Use DC 5.5/2.1 cable (not sure one is included) plugged into the 15v plug on back of P50 and then into back of Zen Stream. Ditch the Zen Stream’s stock wall plug. I also use the 2- 5v usb plugs to pow... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? Happy Etherregen owner along with an Afterdark clock, cable, LPS. Bought the package used and it definitely improved the SQ. I have it elevated with 2 Nobsound spring base footers and the heatsinks (see the link) to cool it down. Although mine ... | |
| Mullard EL34 that sounds best Fyi- Upgraded amps so I no longer need my EL34’s. Just listed a nice Mullard xf2 quad on the other US site… | |
| 12au7 tube? +thecarpathian Agree the Westinghouse Carbon Plates from the ‘60’s are fantastic but they need to meet the description details provided above. I have 2 pairs for my Raven Blackhawk and they sound the best of many that I have rolled. When they ca... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? I own a Supratek Cabernet. Mick made it new in 2023. It is fantastic pre that performs way above it’s price. If you can find one used with remote I would recommend it highly. They are made with remotes. Johnny Slate is the USA tech located i... | |
| Voigt Pipe speakers still a thing? Check this thread out might be insightful… https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/voigt-pipe-design.403389/ | |
| Decware and “The List” Oooch….looks like another 2 years (or more) of checking that list. My Torii Jr, which I love, took 2 years …I would love to order more but that wait is just too extreme for me now. Patience is rewarded. Good Luck with it all. | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement “The” most important decluttering change I made is a hard rule I now follow with each new purchase. “For every component/item I buy I must sell one”. Good thread topic! Each of our decluttering journey’s certainly will vary depending our differing... |
