| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @cooper52 - The CXC does not have an AES/EBU output, so that sounds like a non-starter. I may have overlooked that in your previous posts. FWIW, I had the Urd during trial period because it had AES/EBU output, along with a USB-C input, and I lik... | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @cooper52 - I had the Urd for a short time. It was just ok. Nice sounding BUT, skimps on detail/resolution. I think that will be noticed with your DAC. At your price point, what are your thoughts about the Cambridge CD transport? David | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Fun thread about terrific music! What do you all think of The Louvin Brothers? | |
| Review: Audio Research Ref-3 Tube preamp @cafedienanh2013 - Wouldn't do it because the KT-120 can damage the power regulator. | |
| Surge protector A very useful/informative thread. I'm sorry that the OP had to endure the power surge, to make this thread happen. Am wondering if anyone knows/has tried one of these? David https://www.brickwall.com/products/eight-outlet-audio-surge-protecto... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming @cooper52 - I am going to second the recommendations you have gotten from audphile1 and soix. I'll add one more -- have you looked into Network Acoustics ethernet filters? David https://www.networkacoustics.com/product-category/ethernet-filt... | |
| Insurance for system Has anyone tried getting insurance from a company that insures musical instruments? | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. I forgot to include Guy Clark! | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. @bdp24 - Terrific video! Thank you for sharing. In my view, he's one of a handful of excellent musicians who are respected but not famous. There are others like him-Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Townes Van Zandt (RIP), Buddy and Julie Miller come to mind.... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday Sorry to hear of his passing. He could be as acerbic as he was opinionated, but he knew high-end audio. Sound by Singer was my introduction to the joys of this hobby. RIP. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @asvjerry - Dude!!! You are cracking me up. Back in the day, before the Tweakin’ Twenties, it was "etchings." | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @cey Good info. I did not know that. TY! Anyone remember when "Tubes" was a very, very active category on A'Gon? Pages of NOS offerings. Today, I saw 29 listed. David | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @asvjerry LOL!!!! A terrific A'Gon post, with my morning coffee. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @thecarpathian Yes, yes, yes. You named some terrific tubes. I haven't heard of Simply Italy. Will look it up. When my F-I-L passed we inherited BOXES of signal and rectifier tubes and a Hickok tube tester. I spent the better part of a summer ... | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @audioman58 Are you the Yoda of A'gon? Or perhaps James Joyce? I re-read your posts multiple times..... Spellcheck and editing would help. Just sayin' And yes, NOS are harder to find. As are good tube testers. |
