| Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine Thanks, all. I will follow up on these suggestions and do some investigating. | |
| Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine I agree. That has been my approach. I have used my phono stage and have been able to play records with no issue. I do not have a CD player but could borrow one as an experiment. It seems pretty clear that the noise is related to the internet, sinc... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k It's going to depend a lot on the kind of sound you prefer. I have owned several of the amps suggested here by others and liked things about each one, but they are also all different. My favorite by far in the upper end of your range (and well be... | |
| Live (analog) vs Digital Home Audio @gosta Completely get that. I think one's appraisal of their work will have much to do with their interest in bluegrass. The first one has a lot of bluegrass in it, the second one much less, and after that, very little indeed. I will check out... | |
| Live (analog) vs Digital Home Audio I loved their first two albums and have had no luck at all connecting with their later work. Did they play at least several of the older songs in their set? I have a chance to see them on Sunday at Merlefest and am hoping they dig deep into their ... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @waytoomuchstuff Thanks, kindly. Your post reminded me I need to make some changes in my system profile, but the Fynes are still here and they are indeed quite excellent, as well as being efficient and very "amp friendly." I've heard some gre... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @waytoomuchstuff My comment was intended for the member whose comment was evidently deleted, just another tedious cable denier. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN Thank God you came along to set things straight! | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? When I have time later in the week, I'll call about the remote. Believe me, I know what you mean about going to back to solid state. I had some very nice, very highly regarded solid state amps through here the past couple of years, but I much pre... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? I have not heard this. Hmm, what kind of problems? The only thing I have noticed with mine is that it can be a little bit balky and the volume control is not as smooth as I would wish. It doesn't really bother me that much, but an upgrade would b... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? I'll be interested in this comparison as well. I continue to marvel at my A100 every day. I'm glad Larry mentioned the onboard DAC again. I have been driving myself crazy for a month comparing it to my Lampizator Baltic 3, which is a terrific DAC ... | |
| Puritan 156 Power Cord Excellent suggestions! I have a friend who is a big fan the Furutech DPS 4.1, which he prefers to the Audioquest Dragon. Please let us know how that works on the Puritan PSM 156. | |
| Puritan 156 Power Cord Thanks for the feedback. Very useful and appreciated. | |
| Puritan 156 Power Cord Well, let's see. I'll take these questions one at a time. I have actually tried several of the typical "competitors," including the Inakustik and the Shunyata Everest, which I thought was impressive but also a huge investment. In fact, I went with... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? I get it for sure, Bill. This "quirky" design flaw could well be a non-starter for many, and I certainly wish they'd make exactly the adjustment to their amps you have suggested. I will send this advice along directly to Synthesis, for whatever g... |
