| Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes? jbhiller Just saw this thread, so I'm late to post I've used http://www.jjyaudio.com/ several times for my Chinese tubes. They carry Linlai, Shuguang, PSVane, Fullmusic, JJ Tubes, and a bunch of Russian reproductions. The owner Helen is easy to... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I certainly do like the idea of vintage equipment, and enjoy it in my friends systems. I just don't want to own it, for reliability sake. I do however own a bunch of tube gear that is manufactured like gear of the past; just made in the 2020s I h... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing kdoerner You are 100% correct, this is a thread about your experience; did not mean to hijack your thread | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing westcoastaudiophile I'm not sure my last post was clear in my intention. I meant to point out that I (at the time) was driving affordable speakers with much more expensive speaker cables.....which makes no sense to me now. System at the time: Bu... | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor Rollling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Live Bridges To Babylon DVD only?) Hurt - Johnny Cash's version Mishka - Music of the Moment Little Feat - Spanish Moon (live Waiting For Columbus) And.......half of my Shazam list | |
| Amplifier recommendation Never heard the Bryston, nor the CODA No 11. I do know that CODA amps are huge current machines and deliver a good chunk of that power in Class A..I know the CODA No 8 well, and own the latest S5.5. The S5.5 drives some very difficult speakers ex... | |

| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions tony1954 3 months and no update, what did you end up doing......if anything? | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing kdoerner I certainly do understand, and I've been on both sides of that argument......I was driving $2,300 speakers with .$1,200 speaker cables I also own about $8,000 worth of very high end bulk cable and connectors, that I'll get around to buil... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing This is NOT an attack on the OP, just another thought I am a believer in cables for sure, and they can definitely make a difference in how a system sounds......if the gear is high enough quality. My only question here would be, is it worth instal... | |
| Recommend a desktop nearfield speaker for me Vangaurd Scout speakers at Vera Fi Audio $299 per pair. I've seen several good reviews, and they can be combined with the Vera-Link powered bluetooth for and extra $200......for wireless use | |
| Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp I'm assuming we are talking used here. A few I'd consider for $2k: Buchardt Audio S400 MKII ($1,700 used), Philharmonic BMR stand mounts ($1,800 new), Fritz Carbon or Carrera ($2,100 used), Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2EX V2 ($1,800 new) | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade OP I've never heard a Rega Saturn CD player, but my assumption is it does a great job at playing CDs. Get a high quality DAC, and run the Rega into the DAC.....there are dozens of threads here on good DACs at multiple price points. Denafrips Pont... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC moonwatcher I'd have to say it's a combination of both. But over the past couple of years, I have the Pontus driven by a Denafrips Iris DDC via I2S; and that has a lot to do with the way they sound in my system. I find the Pontus/Iris bass to be ... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary Used Aurender N200 $4,000 |
