| Yamaha Audio products from the past? vs. more current. It's hard for me to believe mass production audio with printed circuit boards, no point to point wiring etc. would beat "small batch" hand crafted items....of course there's an exception to most things. BTW, I remember how I lusted after those bur... | |
| Getting GIKed! you are doing the smart thing by addressing your listening room acoustics...that's my absolute first thing to do. I'm lucky I have a large room with irregular dimensions and other than acoustic blinds over the front wall windows, all is sounding g... | |
| Novice here looking for insight on equipment ive aquired Miller's comments on the money | |
| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? JazzGroove, Jazz24, WWOZ, WRTI....Jazz Groove streams at CD quality and sounds remarkable. | |
| IsoAcoustics Iso-Puck vs. Iso-Puck Mini I suggest you consider Herbie's Audio Labs products. I use them under my 115lb speakers, amp and streamer dac....I'm very satisfied. I had used the cork-rubber sandwich squares under my Vons for years and recently switched to the small glider feet... | |
| Jazzcast.CA is on Roon! thanks Erik...I favor a steady diet of jazz. I just cued up the station through Roon also. appreciate the recommendation | |

| Quality DAC/Streamer to go w/ SS Pass & Bryston separates? you have to tell us your budget | |
| Cool running amplifier Class D amplification recommended | |
| Basic EL34 and 6sn7 tube recommendation. MJC, the KT77 should be a drop in replacement but to be safe I’d call Upscale, they are tube mavens | |
| Before the music emerges from your speakers.... ASV, don't take offense at Miller, he can come across as sarcastic in his posts and I'm not sure if this is intentional or he's unaware how he presents himself. | |
| Basic EL34 and 6sn7 tube recommendation. Gold Lion KT77s are a real winner IMO and won’t break the bank. Very balanced from top to bottom with good slam and detail; I haven’t found better as an EL34 type replacement. | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? this is a hugely contentious topic. it has been discussed exhaustively in this forum and many others. | |
| Streamers I am a happy and satisfied T2 owner. I stream Qobuz through Roon, that is on a dedicated server. The T2 has many options for shaping the sonics, adding an outboard dac etc. The Lumin app is comprehensive and has a quick learning curve. It's no Roo... |
