| Snake oil of the year? @akg_ca With respect. I went back and clicked on the links you provided. You selected (cherry picked) only one side supporting your beliefs that audiophile switches are hokum. Have you ever tried one? If so what? The repose below seems very even... | |
| Snake oil of the year? @yage I have done an A/B test. I’m in N Cal and if you are too you are welcome to hear for yourself. | |
| Snake oil of the year? @yage With apologies to Paul Simon and Mose Allison “It’s really not my habit to intrude Furthermore, I hope my meaning Won’t be lost or misconstrued But I’ll repeat myself At the risk of being crude” your gotcha moment ain’t got me dude. In o... | |
| Snake oil of the year? As it’s been written over and over here, there snd everywhere there are many variables in systems/rooms. With my gear I found the EtherRegen made a difference and the Jcat M12 more so. Some of these “snake oil” solutions are actual tonics. I ... | |
| Do I need a streamer? Y Y E S S | |
| Speaker upgrade If you like Cornwall‘s then you might ought tah try Tandberg’s, aka Tanny’s. | |
| Integrated for Streaming I had a Naim Unity Atom and it’s very good for what it is. The software and interface are easy. I sold it as the apartment I used for work is no more. A used Lumin T2 or new T3 will blow away the bluesound/schitt gear. Once upon a time I had a Bl... | |
| Streamers/DACs Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II another great streamer too. But…… As for the LUMIN is has Leedh Processing Volume control. Meaning the streamer works as a pre amp (exceptionally well). Mytek does this too ( no pre needed) but not with Leedh. Worth a rea... | |
| Streamers/DACs Lumin T3 No Roon until you do! | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna @simna Yup Sensitivity: 89 dB. Thought they wwre more like 96db. I rhink given your budget and desire to roll roll roll a PL is your best bet. The el34’s are sweet dispite less power than 88’s or 150’s. PL’s auto bias and don’t run tubes hard. Y... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna Oups. Europe. Ok. More than your budget (maybe used?) but a FELIKS AUDIO ARIOSO 300B INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER will be the cat’s pyjamas. Maybe help finance by selling all your tubes. Seriously. | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna I had (two) PrimaLuna HP's (w/KT88's) and they were good but I wanted better and more power for my not so efficient speakers. After a lot of reading and some trials I went with a Rogers High Fidelity integrated. It's stunning, This is on eBay Ro... | |
| Upgrading power system Out in the sticks we have world class poor dirty power. I had a Furman IT-Reference 15i and it was a sound dampener. Amp/system sounded considerably better when Amp was plugged into the wall. Replaced that with a AudioQuest Niagara 7000 (before t... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming OP, inliers & outliers, Garbage in….Garbage out. Just as lamp cord for speaker connections is poor so is the entire Ethernet chain if not treated accordingly. Gussy that up and reap the rewards. | |
| cost no object integrated amps Rogers High Fidelity integrated Amp 34S-1 Integrated Amplifier (21k), KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier (16,5k more with KT-170 tubes and worth it!), EHF-200/EHF-200 MK2 Integrated Amplifier (13,5-16.7k) go far beyond "their weight" A few of us here hav... |
