"...rather odd in places....".Well, that’s certainly one way to describe it! :-)Quirky and captivating to me. They create a whole world in the mysterious Mr. Blint’s "attic".  It’s quite the tour de force just for promoting their invention, "The G...

"...will the tidal masters really sound much better?"That is a loaded question! Can o’ worms, etc., etc. :-)You should search the discussions by entering MQA. I’m kind of cynical about MQA. My issue is the source material.  If applied to some well...

Another very happy Freya owner here.  A $1000 budget would get you the  Freya with $ left for some decent ICs and NOS tubes.  The Freya is very responsive to changes in cabling and tubes.  I've been using 1950s-era NOS RCAs and GEs in the gain sta...

re "MQA licensed special box" - pretty certain that’s what the AQ Red amounts to...a DAC with software to "decode" MQA (with the requisite legal hurdles having been jumped). Personally, I’m not all hung up about MQA playback but when I listen to T...

Audioquest Dragonfly Red plugged into a USB port on your computer (or into a USB cable from computer to  your audio gear if the run is longish).  Mini plug with Y splitter into the Dragonfly to provide left and right channel signals into your prea...

New to this. How do I stack my stuff?
n80Why not take a picture of your system as currently organized and load that to the Virtual Systems? Won’t be as convenient as embedding something in the thread itself but will accomplish the same purpose as @celander has in mind.

Joe Bonamassa - Blues DeluxeA very enjoyable album of 9 covers + 3 originals.  The exception that proves what is too often the rule about covers...that is to say, these are actually worth listening to.  Joe owns 'em like he wrote 'em.  Everything ... 
I need a pair of RCA cables from crossover to amp for subwoofer.
Hope they give you enough clearance, JD.  Yeah, rather not have something like that in the chain just on general principles, though I personally am skeptical about it being audible.  Just one more black mark against my "audiophile" credentials, I ...
