| Russian tube supply issues Thank goodness the tubes in my LS26 are new with low hours on them and I have the old ones still with 4000 hours on them.. Recently I purchased a Schiit Freya for my second system and thankfully it has a solid state mode. If price gouging for tu... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II I owned a Node2i for a few months. It is a capable little streamer combo for the money. But I found it to be an inferior source component (transport) when coupled with a higher end DAC. I believe the original poster jumped the gun here. To be ho... | |
| Think ill just go with a lumin On another note since we are talking about Lumin streamers. What is the general consensus from other Lumin owners regarding the preferred digital output to their EXTERNAL DAC? I have a U1 mini with an upgraded LPS feeding my Yggdrasil via AES/EBU... | |

| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS ARC has done their job and produced an extremely high quality stereo component for "stereo use". Being as nice as they are they also gave you an option for the home theatre bypass option to use I would guess once in while for the odd movie or sp... | |

| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Another of the weekly thought provoking posts for us audio fools to question what it is that we are doing.The devil has taken us off the path yet again from reaching total fulfillment of life on this earth. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Regarding the CAT8 cable, is it similar to an AES/EBU cable where as a little longer is better? I would only need 2 feet to get from the wall to my streamer. Should I use a 6 foot piece or would it be beneficial? | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? It's bad enough that the original poster is looking for attention but the fact that you guys give it to him is even worse.. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? These silly attention grabbing headlines posted week after week after never ending week are getting tiresome and clearly demonstrate the sheer number of loosers that have no life and substitute this site for real life friends... It's simply astou... | |
