| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world To answer your question, electronics manufacturers partner with Wilson because they think Wilsons will present their electronics in a positive light to many listeners, not all of them. I’m sure Wilson is only one of a number of speakers the electr... | |
| Streaming vs traditional willemj, Since you are a scientific guy, I’m sure you know that double blind tests that have not been published in a peer reviewed journal have zero scientific credibility. I am not a scientist, but I can assure you that that study would not survi... | |
| Streaming vs traditional willemj, Do you choose your audio gear and music by the results of double blind tests or by listening? | |
| Streaming vs traditional willemj is one of the doubters and there are many of them, but there are also many who have heard MQA and say it is an improvement. Some who have heard it are very excited about it. High-end audio is a subjective pursuit and hard scientific proof ... | |
| Streaming vs traditional The Bluesound Node 2 is a good way to dip your toe into the streaming waters ($500), There’s an Auralic mini at the same price. My experience with the Node 2 is that I love streaming but would like better sound quality.Right now, Tidal streaming M... | |
| Hope for the blues.. OK tosta, make that the original black ELECTRIC blues masters. Keb Mo', Corey Harris, Chris Thomas King and Gary Clark, Jr. are second rate bluesmen, and I use that term loosely, who couldn't keep the blues from oblivion if they got weekly TV s... | |
| Hope for the blues.. The problem is that most people who start out in the blues feel the need to grow and make their own music. That’s not a criticism, the blues players from the 60s and the players from the Stevie Ray fueled blues revival of the 80s did the same thin... | |

| Preamp 6922 tube help Jim, You're right about the boxes. I think the seller is trying to fool somebody with the boxes and the way he took the picture. You can see they’re shiny shields but only if you look at them closely. For the price he’s asking, those should defi... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help thewatcher, I think you're going to have to talk about your system and the sound you want with the various tube sellers recommended and buy from the one who convinces you he's got what you need. Tubes will sound different in different gear and I... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help If anyone wants to study up on Phillips tube codes here's a link to the manual:https://frank.pocnet.net/other/Philips/PhilipsCodeListAB.pdf I will just add that you will probably only find tubes with the 'NEW' CODE format as seen on page 3, and p... | |
| Preamp 6922 tube help jea48, i think you made a mistake on those grey plate Siemens CCas. If you take a closer look, those are the silver plates or shields. You can see on the nearer tube where the shield is pinched (below the final s in Siemens) that it is clearly a... |
