| Happy Scale IMO, newer systems sound better than older systems (1970s), by a pretty large margin. However, some of the most enjoyable music I’ve listened to came out of an AM radio with a cracked speaker. I can’t be 20 years old and hanging out with my girlfr... | |
| If I can't afford a new Conrad Johnson pre amp... I think that conrad-johnson had a reputation of a warm, golden sound in years past. Their more recent preamps have a more neutral sound as many other tube preamps have also become more neutral. The warm, colored sound has gone out of favor for ... | |
| Cassettes still rock! mofi, sounds like you've got a new Mercedes or Lexus sitting in your closet. | |
| Tried a new product to highly polished speaker surface Thanks for the tip. It's almost impossible to keep swirls out of high gloss finishes. I'll try to remember PlastX. | |
| Tube Rolling the Jolida/Black Ice dsd Dac I don't own a Jolida but I'll give you a bump here. I wouldn't worry about having to turn up the volume on your pre. As long as you can play your music loud enough you're OK.You could try a pair of Siemens. They're similar to Teles, but you may... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp owners Scot, I think their forums are active, but not very active. Since their amps and preamps have been around a while now there's not a lot of people asking and commenting on them.I know when they switched over to their new forum format they deleted... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp owners I think you should just call PS Audio. They are happy to answer questions and they've probably gotten this one before. | |

Ralph will say that your speakers are medium easy to drive (high impedance) and efficient (sensitivity), though. Ralph says that a... | |
| Artist you now like that you discovered through your streaming service +1 on Lynne Arriale, mitch4t. I'm always surprised that this jazz pianist is not more well known. | |

And:Various - If You're Going To The City - A Tribute To Mose AllisonSome really good perfor... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp owners I also believe the change in bias is so that one can use either 12AU7s or the 6DJ8 family of tubes. I've switched between those two but never tried different settings for the same tube type.PS Audio has its own forums and you may find more discus... | |
| Fav Tube/Best tube Favorites are system and listener taste dependent.Tungsten, Siemes, Philips = same tube.No they’re not. Phillips owned Siemens but Tungsol, Tungsram, Siemens and Phillips are different tubes, I can assure you.My favorite in my current preamp is a... | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? I’d guess that your cd player has a better DAC or that distortion is being introduced somewhere in your modem> streamer> DAC chain. The CD player may be benefitting from the smaller amount of circuitry, connections and cable needed to conver... | |
| Streaming Qubuz - take it to the next level. big_greg, that sounds doable. Thanks. | |
| Streaming Qubuz - take it to the next level. Has Lumin developed a good app for Android tablets? I had a Lumin a while back and just couldn't get the app to work well. |
