| Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity Hardwiring via ethernet is strongly recommended. I tried "wireless" and have a very robust network....there still were dropouts but none wired. | |
| Blue Hawaii tube amp EL34 headphone amp, correct? I've found a good replacement is GoldLion KT77, readily available from many on line sources. However, Facten is correct.....it would be nice to hear those questions answered. | |
| Need help on buying a streamer / network player Agee with others who said wireless connection is not the best. I hardwire everything with ethernet cables. Wireless is prone to dropouts, as the OP described. Also a "computer" source is inherently noisy and recommend a dedicated server or purpose... | |
| Matching for Music: Speakers or Electronics? Arvin, I never thought of it the way you described. I listen to a wide spectrum of genres and if my speakers and amp weren't up to it, they'd be replaced. | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Tea, you should have ignored Jane....some people who post here behave like this, as you know. BTW, I enjoy your sonic evaluations...very easy for me to understand and I like the way you highlight your associated gear upfront, show your rooms etc. | |
| Is it fine to bunch together power wires? Never bunch cables of any kind...I agree with Miller C | |
| MAC BOOK OR STREAMER ? computers are inherently "noisy" and not built specifically to handle just music. IMO, a streamer is a better choice with a dac you like. I use a one box solution, a Lumin T2. Previously I ran a MacMini and did everything possible to make it "soun... | |
| Quantify the difference between Holland Amperex e188cc/7308 and USA Amperex 7308/e188cc? did you consult "Joe's Tube Lore"? | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? I've had the condition in my right ear for over 30 years. The intensity varies every day and is usually loudest at night. It basically lets me know I'm still alive. It hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for my hifi rig or live music shows. So, run some... | |
| What your choice speakers with spikes or speakers with a vibration isolation device? Kalali +1....I'm now on a suspended hardwood floor and using Herbie's products under my speakers. | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables B34.....there was a power cable shootout on the AudioBacon website....over two dozen brands analyzed. Hope this helps. | |
| Tempted to buy a Macintosh heh Dill, your sarcasm is inappropriate IMO. Many who come here do not have English as a first language. GTE, I owned the Almarro 318B for many years. It's a great low cost SET amp. The McIntosh SS gear you're thinking of will provide a very diffe... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I did a shootout years ago with many of those tubes .....IMO the KenRad VT231 appealed to me the most.Lots of natural tone, body and detail. | |
| Ethernet cables Monoprice Cat8.....inexpensive and if you don't like them you're not out much. | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile Artemus, glad you enjoyed Kind of Blue....it was a groundbreaking change in the direction of jazz. Miles to me is one of the titans of the jazz genre. |
