| DAC recommendation Hi , In your price range, I would recommend a Schiit Bifrost Uber Analog . It’s an earlier version lacking Multibit . The Uber version will ad a usb out , giving you a choice to switch between 3 different sources . I has a pair of RCA outs. This w... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method Great stuff gentlemen, my experience was this . I purchased 2 pr. of Morrow MA5 RCA’s recently. Due to being on vacation at time of shipping , Mike just left my cables on the break in station longer . They received 11 days straight . So using my f... | |
| Getting into tubes Hi, My name is Mike and I’m a Tube Addict ! It started with a little Dynaco when I was 14. I tried to stop , but I couldn’t . I went to SS rehab for about 15 years , but I relapsed. Now I’m 60 years old and I hide tubes from my wife . Some days I ... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? Congrats on your Omens. I too have a pair . I’m running a Schiit Yiggy to a Rogue RP-1 to a Had Inspire SEP. I have Klipsch Heresy II’s and KG1.5’s in the closet. The Omens smoke them both even with a sub. Also have JBL 4312A’s but currently lac... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Ok guys , I’ve received some great advise . So let’s say I bump up to $1000-2000, for something new . My disc player only plays CD’s . Matt’s suggestion on the Oppo 105 is sinking in . It is Tiday ready and wireless . It also gives me SACD and a g... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Thanks David , that was a thought as I posted the text . Other than cost , does length matter ? I have an Apple TV that I could try that with too . Thanks for the link . | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise FWIW, I upgraded from a Bifrost Uber to the Yiggy . I looked real hard at the Mytek Brooklyn DAC +. I get pretty decent sound from my laptop . I have a Morrow didital Coax into the Yiggy from the Musical Fidelity’s CD . The computer with Tidal sou... | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? I’m having trouble understanding your question . If you have multiple failures with new Tubes that have been stored , it sounds like your amp needs service . Some of the newer Manley’s have changed Tube values due to Tube availability . While pow... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Great topic , with gentlemen responding. I’m glad to read this thread . I live in Clovis, Ca. Fresno has zero audiophile shops ! ZERO ! Magnolia is high end here. 1 million people in this county and zero . I am totally dependent on you guys for ad... | |
| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems Hi , thanks for sharing . My Had Inspire came with the same tube . I’ve had zero issues with mine . I did have a new production GL KT-77 , with about 100 hours let go . I didn’t blow a fuse , I blew 2 caps and a resistor and the explosion broke a ... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? So I took my 6 foot California King out of his cage today. I didn’t get any oil , but he deficated on my shirt . And I’ve stood toe to toe with Charles Manson . He is ( was ) a skinny, whiny little Ditch Bank Okie . He spent his life in protecti... | |
| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord @rvpiano , Hi side question . I have a Schiit Bifrost Uber and a Musical Fidelity transport . And also an older Oppo . I’m cost driven . Are you satisfied with the Gumby ? I listen to Tidal and a few CD’s . Second , with what I have now , Gumby or... | |
| Let's talk power cords I pondered this question too . What I did was go to a web site and click buy . Then when the little box opened up , I clicked “ 4 “. Then I clicked check out with Pay Pal . When they came , I hooked them up . That was last year , I still have t... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Ditto to Wolf’s opinion of the 12 wpc Inspire . ABSOLUTLY amazing . But what really blew me away was Dennis ! 6 weeks ago , I was playing a new matches pair of Gold Lion KT-77’s ( 150 hrs ). I heard a pop , then another , fairly mild . Shut my stu... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? , that’s a Big Question . It feels like I’m trying to arm wrestle an octopus 🐙. So in regards to just your present system . I run a modest price Rogue RP-1, that was a cost driven purchase . This pre uses a pair of 12au7’s . I also have quality... |
