| Has anyone had an order fulfilled by Boltz.com in the 2024 or 2023 calendar year? Thanks for the warning. Sorry to hear about your experience. They used to be a good company. I'm glad that you filed a complaint. I hope something is done about it. | |
| HiFi legends ageing and going deaf What you describe could happen, but I think that designers also look at measurements which would alert them to their worsening hearing and its effect on their designs. | |
| Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist? There are four pair of Lansche plasma tweeter speakers for sale on Agon right now. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I understand @fauguy , my situation is much worse than yours. I’d go listen even if they don’t have the models you’re interested in. My guess is that the two brands have a different house sound and that you would prefer one over the other. That ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @fauguy , Yes the upconversion settings do apply to CDs and I would guess, but the manual doesn't say it, they would apply to streamed PCM also. There appears to be only one digital filter. I agree with @goose, these are probably not settings th... | |

| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... I love Rosie. In spite of her low profile she keeps playing and singing. She just won't quit, and she's good! | |
| My time spent with Canton. Great! Enjoy your bargain speakers! | |
| DIfferences in Philips Miniwatt 12AU7 I would say yes. They were produced to the same standard of quality, but who can say what has happened to them in the last 50 years. | |
| DIfferences in Philips Miniwatt 12AU7 It would be hard to say what differences in sound Phillips Miniwatts made in different factories would produce in your system. Give Brent Jessee a call. He may or may not have any Phillips Miniwatts, but he can probably help you find the tubes y... | |
| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp Are the diamond bottom NOS several hundred dollars better than the standard telefunken 12ax7s? There are new production Telefunkens (Black Diamond) that share only the name with vintage German made Telefunkens. I have no idea how the new one... | |

| need to purchase a calibrated , small signal tube tester-why so difficult?! I agree with cleeds. If you’re looking for an affordable, accurate, and easy to use tester; the MaxiPreamp is one good choice. It does not test for emissions. It does test for transconductance but does not provide a list of what average new tubes... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Audiophile audio dying out will be one of the lesser problems future generations will have to deal with. It’d be nice if the kids enjoyed music like we do, but they don’t. One thing we can do is try to get our music collections into the hands of ... |
