| Thiel Owners @jafant No, I don't want or need any more speakers, I need to clean out my stereo room, too many big speakers. I also have a pair of Acoustat Spectra 33 electrostatic speakers. Big speakers are a pain to sell and take up a lot of storage space. | |

| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? My VTL 450MKII Amps. They are the best amp's I ever owned.

| Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones. Oh yes the quality is much better. Back in 1982 when I purchased an Lp I had them open it and put it on there TT.

| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? No, I avoid Chinese product's when possible. It's really not about quality, you get what you pay for. I don't care for the government and their business practices. | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? I have a California Audio Labs Alpha DAC that I used with computers. It uses two 12AX7. It's has a warm presentation. I bought it to take the edge on of those early CD's. I hooked it up not long ago and was surprised how well it performed, giv... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I had used and loved NOS tubes. After a couple costly quick failures, I've never purchased NOS again. These day I only use Upscale and for the most part Gold Lion reissues and from time to time Mullard reissues. I have a gallon zip lock baggie ful... | |
| McIntosh c2700 users please chime in? When I was looking at the C2600 I found a discontinued C2500 being sold as a "Demo unit" and highly discounted on this site. The unit arrived NEW with warranty. I was not interested in the internal DAC. | |

I started with a Windows based machine and a wazoo sound card back when streaming was in it's infancy. My first DAC was a Audio Alchemy Digital Decoding Engine V1.1 and I've changed/upg... | |
| Amplifier warm up I use tubes amps. I warm them up no less than 15 minutes before use. I also let the amps cool down for the same amount of time before powering down. I started doing the warm up cool down many years ago and it increased my tube life nicely. | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System I've never really care for 5.1 and disconnected the rears years ago. I still have a center channel and try 3 channel every now and then go right back to stereo. | |
