| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Not sure if they’ve been mentioned, but I’ll throw in Hanna Reid (London Grammar), Goldfrapp (Tales of Us), Shannon McNally, and Imelda May. | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! It's also World Farm Animals Day! | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? I also ripped all of my CD's with dbPoweramp after I started streaming. I held on to my CEC TL-5 transport for another 2 years, just looking at it sitting on the rack. I finally sold it and moved on. All of my CD's(about 400) are on a thumb dri... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates I'm in the minority, but my preference was a single box DAC/streamer. Hardcore audiophiles usually prefer separates all around, but my thinking is the one box units have a better matched streamer, DAC and power supply. I would also think better ... | |
| Air conditioning for audiophiles. Forgot to post link: GE Profile 6,100 BTU 115-Volt ClearView Ultra Quiet Window Air Conditioner for Small Rooms, Full Window View, Easy Install AHTT06BC - The Home Depot Easy install. | |
| Air conditioning for audiophiles. I went with the GE Profile Ultra Quiet. Comes in both 6100 BTU and 8300 BTU from Home Depot. Ordered on-line and delivered free of charge. Works great, has remote control, and is quiet. I'm back in business with tube amps. | |

| Which preamps use 6922/6DJ8 tubes? Sonic Frontiers. Might be under your budget but can be upgraded at Parts Connexion by Chris Johnson, one of the original owners. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? I don't know if it's the best as I haven't heard many, but I have the Reference 3A Reflector's that I'm very happy with. I had to downsize to a smaller room and sold my Legacy Focus as they were too large. | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound Don't know what your price range is, but I use a SurgeX sa-1810 and hear no sound degradation. Been through many lightning storms here in FL and no damage to any components. It isn't as pretty as the others, but it's A-1-1 Certified - the U.S. ... | |
| Records, CDs, Streaming 99% streaming. I started streaming Qobuz and now Roon and got hooked. I saw the writing on the wall and sold my 400 record albums and turntable to an antique shop. I still have a few hundred CD's and transport but honestly haven't played them i... | |
| Best Remote for Roon Nucleus+ I was in a similar situation when I started with Roon. My 10" tablet was rather heavy and bulky to use as a remote so I ordered a Lenovo TB-8705F. It's the perfect size at 8". I also use a Windows desktop. | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? I, for one, appreciate @cakyol perspectives and candor! Much more so than @pesky_wabbit's trivial comments, which truly live up to his moniker. | |
| DH labs versus audio quest, HDMI I've used DH Labs speaker and interconnect cables for over 20 years and got off the cable merry-go-round. Great cables and great price. I would trust their HDMI cable to also be great. | |
| Which tubes are the best? @jimbones I no longer have my tube amp, but I had both of the reissues of the TungSol 6550 and Genelex KT-88. Both excellent. TungSol 6550 had stronger bass but the Genelex KT-88 was more balanced with excellent midrange and very good bass. A... |
