| So where should the tubes be? Please don't look past Rogue Audio's Ares (Magnum) tube phono preamp. | |
| surround processor? Yeah. He’s a true analog guy. Nothing wrong with that. I like digital when I’m home from work or cleaning the house etc where I don't want to fuss with albums.....Digital can sound very good. But for true immersive music, I love vinyl better. But ... | |
| surround processor? Millercarbon is a 2 channel purist but don’t hold that against him. He gets it right 100% of the time otherwise :)I can say this with 100% assurety. Find a lightly used Classe SSP-800 on EBay or elsewhere. There is one listed now on EBay for $1200... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning The Puritan 156 definitely gets good reviews. Mikey Powell(OCD HiFiGuy) on YouTube will send you one to try out. He offered me 1 but I went with PI Audio’s UberBuss. With upgrades still less than the Puritan.https//hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/audi... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Ok. Good to know. I am under the impression that MOV's are a net negative to the current. Maybe in a minor way, but still are. I'm not saying that Caelin Gabriel is 100% right about everything but that was part of his rationale for keeping surge s... | |
| Advice on a streamer I’m using a Node 2i(with Qobuz through BluOs) but what kicked performance up many notches was replacing the stock Power Supply Interface(and figure 8 power cord/stock power supply) with a PD Creative PSU interface upgrade and an SBooster LPS. And ... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @stringreen If I may ask, what were the issues with your power conditioners. After watching a Caelin Gabriel video, I began to question having any surge suppression at the component rack. My issue with the Richard Gray’s 1200 I had was that it ha... | |
| Tube based phono stage I bought the Rogue Ares Magnum(with 2 table inputs etc) on a recommendation from Robin Wyatt. The reviews are pretty stellar. And it is well within your price range. Major bang for the buck. | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? I just got a bottle from The Cable Company. It was $331. Stuff works. Don't drink it though. Ok? | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I have..... But I thought you were going to discuss Dave Elledge's PI Audio UberBuss. :)The current is better off with a whole house surge suppressor at the breaker box(such as the Seimens FS140) and no MOV surge suppression at the equipment rack.... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS 3.5 foot Townshend digital SPDIF coax to Classe SSP-800 DAC. My Node 2i has the upgraded PD Creative PSU interface and uses an SBooster LPS too. | |
| The Raven Has Landed You guys are lucky that you can change fuses in your amps. I can't. Jeff Rowland makes sealed coffins that only authorized dealers or the man himself are authorized to open up to upgrade. | |
| Apple TV Set Up Do you have an HDMI connection available to connect a Google Chromecast? https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/18/22287905/apple-tv-app-now-available-chromecast-google-tv | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I had a 30A dedicated line installed...30A breaker, 10g wire and a PI Audio UberPuerto outlet. Plugged into that is a 14 outlet PI Audio UberBuss with a 32A Neutrik connector. All outlets independant. Some standard, some for noisy digital compone... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! millercarbon-I've been thinking about this a bit today. It's going to be tricky. More for the right speaker than the left. But I know what you're describing. My podiums will be on tile so that may help. It took my installer and me SO long to get t... |
