| Whats playing on your system today? reubent, Lucinda's voice is definitely not what it once was. I will listen to the original Sweet Old World over the new one anyday. | |
| Be Careful! Another solution is to have something metal that is not part of your audio system on your audio rack, maybe the rack itself if it's metal, and rap it with your knuckle before touching your gear. Your knuckle is much less sensitive than your fing... | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? gillatgh, Unless you plan to become a tube fanatic, when you do start to roll tubes buy them from a reputable dealer rather than off ebay. There are good tubes available there and they are probably cheaper but you need to know what you're looking... | |
| Falling out of love with tubes Here’s what I’ve gathered: modern tube preamps will not sacrifice my newfound detail (including Conrad Johnson’s PV-10al) You will lose detail with the c-j PV10. It was one of the old golden sound c-j preamps. | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? Welcome to the world of tubes. The Rogue should be a nice sounding integrated. I know we have some Rogue fans here.Tube rolling is just trying different tube brands in your amp to tune the sound to your liking. There are also variations on the ... | |
| Falling out of love with tubes I’m assuming your amp is a Sonographe SA 250. The SA 250 is getting a little old and maybe the first thing you want to do is have it looked over to see if it needs a little refurbishing.***Will using a preamp instead of going direct from my comput... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise The Bluesound or Auralic are a good place to start. I have a Node 2 and it was very easy to set up and use. It has an easy to use app and it's only $500. It has good but not great sound quality. I think you would find about the same to be tru... | |

| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? The plates are the black or gray (usually gray) rectangular or square objects that take up most of the space in the tube. Long plates are usually found in older tubes, early (1950s) versions of tubes like the 12AU7. They may sound different from t... | |
| Teach an Old Dog New Tricks The Bluesounds are nice players but they will not give you the sound quality of your Ayre. If you’re like me, you won’t want to rip all your cds. I just stick one in my cd player if I want to hear it. In my view it looks like streaming may be wher... | |
| Publish the age of your component when selling (let's discuss) It would be nice if all sellers told us how old their gear is, how many hours it has on it, etc. I think most sellers are pretty good at letting you know what you’re getting and if they’re not you may want to just skip that purchase.Always check t... | |
| Why did it take so long I think the cd was released before it was ready for prime time. All Sony could see was those $ signs. I think digital will continue to improve for a long time to come. | |
