| Replacement for Squeezebox Touch? Bama214,I feel your pain and, I initially panicked myself. However, my Touch's connection to the Squeezebox server has ironically been more reliable since they stopped production of the unit. I think Sc53 may well be right about the future. That s... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... All of these NAD recommendations are no accident or conspiracy. Their entry level gear punches way beyond the weight class and is known for exceptional reliability. I've used the BEE models for several budget systems and my friends are very please... | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Neal,Well put. I feel the same way about my old modded Meitner Bidat. It's a classic, but time marches on. | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Polyglot,I've not heard the Cary 306 but I've heard from others that it is excellent and quite elegant. With regard to the PWD MKII, if you do get a chance to audition it, make sure that you have all inputs adjusted to the NativeX setting and to u... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Polyglot,As I'm sure you've noticed, the harder the "sell," the more dubious the product. Hope you have a chance to audition a higher end digital source. Please report back if you do. | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade I suspect, given the quality of your gear, that the DAC and transport are the weakest links. You can get a used PSAudio MKII Perfect Wave DAC and Perfect Wave transport within your budget price. It's a very musical set up and was just reviewed in ... | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality Sfar,I completely agree. I hope people realize what a bargain all of these services are. Sent through a high quality machine like my Perfect Wave DAC II, they all sound pretty sweet. | |

| CD Player under $1k The Oppo 95 kills anything under $1,000. It'll play anything and it has wifi music streaming on top of all that. You might even find a used one now that it's being replace with a newer model. | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality My quibble with Spotify are the gaps in its back catalog. For example, MOG has the entire Verve archive. Last time I checked Spotify did not.Ideally, I'd like to have all three services. Right now, though, it's Pandora for music exploration, MOG f... | |
| Power cord recommendation for DAC Kzhtoo,By all means audition cords, but I offer one note of caution. Power cords take a few hours if not a day to settle once they've been moved around. They also take a while to burn in when new. Based upon personal experience, quick a/b comparis... | |
| Power cord recommendation for DAC I second moving up the Shunyata line. You might find a used Black Mamba CX for just a few dollars above your range. The CX line LOVES DACs. | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality I love MOG and use it every day, but I'd like to add a plug for using the premium Pandora service.($36 a year) If you use the the thumbs up and down regularly, Pandora's musical "DNA" system simply can't be beat. MOG's radio streams are very "dumb... | |
| What are used SOVTEK 6H30P Tubes worth? Thanks for the advice guys. These are are matched pairs sold by Conrad- Johnson and, therefore, the reliability is pretty solid. They cost about $35 a piece. I only rotate them out 'cause of my OCD. I have 12 total, six in each foam shipping box. ... | |
| What are used SOVTEK 6H30P Tubes worth? I guess my next question is whether there is a market for them. Do people buy used tubes? |
