| Best 12AU7 Tubes for BHK Preamp? I have a BHK preamp and my favorite is the Amperex 7316 made in the Heerlen factory in the Netherlands. They can be labelled for other companies too. I recently bought some with the Mullard label. If you’re familiar with the Phillip’s etched codes... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Got it. Thanks!I find much more to appreciate on a good system, though, and will try to keep a good system as long as I can hear, which may not be all that much longer. | |
| Issue with dynamic range database Got it. | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Musicians listen primarily for performance values (the music) and not just the sound of the music. Perhaps you can clarify the point you’re making. Music is sound. What you are describing as performance values (Articulation, pitch manipulation, te... | |
| Issue with dynamic range database Ralph, sugabooger, The vinyl in the youtube video is not more dynamic than the CD, no doubt about it.. The TT meter does not work for vinyl. Is vinyl sometimes mastered with greater dynamic range than digital releases of the same album though? Man... | |

| Does the Audio Industry Have a Quality Problem? In most cases the retailer / manufacturer resolved the problems on the first attempt and thereafter I had no further issues. This is the key. It costs considerably more to produce 100% flawless equipment vs 99% or 95%. As long as the dealer or man... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? You can tell by the sound quality of the music they release that most musicians could care less about sound quality. I wish someone could convince them that great sound quality is worth the effort. | |
| Issue with dynamic range database I don't listen to vinyl, so I don't have first hand experience, so are the people who buy the vinyl because it's less compressed being fooled?I do know that there is a lot of digital music that is overly compressed and limited, and that frequently... | |
| NO! Jitter does not always matter. Starting in the mid-late 2000's, audio DACs started to be made with switched capacitor DACs. So, is any switched capacitor DAC better than any switched resistor or ladder DAC? Can you tell us what some of your favorite switched capacitor D... | |

| Heat from amps? As jaytor pointed out you need to know how many watts the amp draws at idle. An amp that draws 450 watts at idle will put out the same amount of heat as 4 100 watt light bulbs and one 50 watter while idling. Class D amps put out the least amount o... |
