| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Yeah, Getting old is just no fun. | |
| Tube or Trasistor vtv, Yes solid state has many benefits over tubes but the amp or preamp with the lowest distortion does not always sound best. Some people prefer the sound of amps or preamps that include tubes in their circuits. So why buy a more accurate solid... | |
| Another streamer option I don't know about in your system (I'm not knocking it, I just haven't heard any of those components) but streamers do improve as price increases (not always and not in a direct 1:1 ratio). I don't know if buying something like an Auralic Aries ... | |
| NOS tubes That's a nice amp wownflutter, but I can't tell you who would be the best tube dealer for you. When you get ready to try rolling I'm sure there will be people here who will be happy to offer advice. Enjoy! | |
| NOS tubes What amp did you buy wow? If you decide to start rolling tubes, it would be best to work with a good tube dealer (Brent Jessee, Andy Bouwman at Vintage Tube Services or Kevin Deal among others) rather than try your luck on ebay. They can offer e... | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? OK. Enjoy those same old cds! | |
| NOS tubes To answer the OP's question. And I'm talking about preamp tubes not power tubes. Tube quality was very important back before transistors replaced tubes, when tubes were used in essential functions in airplanes, radar, early computers, televisio... | |
| NOS tubes I don’t think that’s true freediver. Current production tubes are made in Russia and China and their construction is very different from the classic tubes made in the US, the UK, Holland, West Germany and many other countries. I’m not saying that ... | |
| Analogue-free system I’m among the listen to both camp. I listened only to vinyl most of my life. I still have a turntable and a few hundred Lps. I also have a lot of great music not available on vinyl. My digital sounds great too. To each his own. | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? I’m pretty sure there’s lots of classic rock on the streaming services that you haven’t heard, OP, and there’s a lot of music being made today that’s really good, that a classic rock lover would enjoy. Tidal let’s you stream free for 30 days so... | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? Streaming is about having access to millions of albums in all genres that you can listen to for what at this time is pocket change. It makes you much more adventurous in your listening habits. No need to stick with the tried and true. You can find... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Tom Petty had access to the best medical care available unlike many people who do hard physical labor 5 or 6 days a week, every week, year after year. So he's not a victim of anything. We've all got to die and I'd rather die of an accidental ove... | |
| Polycarbonate Disc Bliss: The CD is alive and well You Don't Know Nothing - Frank Bey with the Anthony Paule BandA live recording of Soul and Blues that captures the live feel and has very good sound quality too. A really nice cd. | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? gryphongryph, That hiss could be the vacuum tubes, they will do that. | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? If disc spinners and readers, and digital cables affect the sound quality in your system (some they will, some they won't) wouldn't a streamer? |
