| 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... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I recently replaced a Sbooster used for a Roon Nucleus with a JS-2 Linear Power Supply (w/Sapphire DC Cable) made by uptown audio. Another case of a real dynamic improvement from a PSU. |
