| 6SN7 and 6SL7 tubes recomendations (Cayin A88T integrated) I had new Tung-sol 6SN7 and 6LN7's in my amp. I purchased some NOS Tung-Sol Black plates from Brent Jessie with really good results. It was definitely an upgrade. | |
| Sophia Electric is not honest I hate headlines as the Op posted. Why not just say....thoughts on Sophia Electric. In essence, you are pronouncing them guilty without stating specific dishonest actions. People love to pounce on Audiogon. | |
| Do power conditioners help with unwanted hum/noise I just took a three-prong adapter and cut off the ground portion. I then took my MIT Power cables and plugged them into the adapter and then into my noisy SR orange duplex outlet. It went from a buzzing noise to almost dead silent. I guess base... | |
| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread Are all cops bad cops? The answer is no. In fact,very few are bad. Sometimes an unfortunate case happens. Is it right? No. I am sorry the Op had a bad experience. I understand his frustration. I am a Viking owner who had a super experien... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? @gakerty Paying thousands of dollars for a fuse is pure insanity, regardless of whether they make a sonic difference or not. However, if they contain quantum tunneled dark matter and antimuon alloy, then it's totally worth it. How is it any di... | |
| Do power conditioners help with unwanted hum/noise I have an all-tube system and have had a slight hum for about a year. If I plug the amps directly into the SR orange Duplex outlet boxes the hum is louder. If I plug the amps direct to my InaKustic 3500P PC the hum is there but not as prevalent.... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @vain68robert Thanks for the link. I am sending an email to the company to get more information on the circuit breaker. I do have a dedicated 20amp line for my two-channel system. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @mitch2 No, I can't cite a specific example but the same can be said for a duplex. Power is coming from the panel box which is noisy to your outlet. Again, I am not an engineer and no very little about electricity. Where is the source of the ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Any Fink album Nils Lofgren Band Live....not the acoustic version Foy Vance --any Live album | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I have SR Orange Duplexes and an InaKustic 3500PC and I still have noise. What really needs to happen is for the USA to have an audiophile circuit breaker. I am not an electrical engineer but to me, it would make sense to eliminate noise at the ... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? @lordrootman....sounded pretty damn good to me. Thank you for introducing me to Chantal Chamberland | |
| Other Good High End Audio Forums What's Best Forum is the hands-down best forum for audiophiles. You do not get the snarkiness, rudeness, know it all attitude that you can get on Audiogon. If you have a question go to WBF. I have learned so much from members on that site. | |
| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? Given the music genres you are interested in there are not a lot of high-quality recordings. That is not a slight on the Op at all it just means that Spotify would probably be sufficient. That said, Spotify is good, Tidal is better and Qobuz is ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I recently purchase 6 Tung-Sol Black Plates 6SN7 tubes for my Canary Audio Grand reference 300B mono amp. These are NOS tubes from the 50's. This amp also has 16 Western Electric 300B tubes so I am very particular about what goes in my system. ... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Tru Audio. Prior to me getting my expensive 2-channel system I had a 75 inch tv with a Tru Audio soundbar. They are custom-sized and made to fit your exact tv. They have various levels of sound quality. Check out their website. Fantastic soun... |
