| Qobuz vs. Tidal Anyone using QoBuz or Tidal with a Bluesound Node 2i? Just curious because that’s what I’m using with an Audio-gd NFS-1C DAC. I have Spotify Premium, which to my ears, doesn’t sound too bad at all. Wondering how much better QoBuz will sound? ... | |
| 20 Years? @coltrane1 Ha! rec.audio.high.end, rec.audio.marketplace Audio Trading Times and Audiomart before that I’ve been here since 2001 :) | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers I’ve owned several Fleawatts over the years and have loved them all. I was surprised several years ago to hear Derek say that several of his friends traded in their 300B & 2a3 amps for Fleawatts and never looked back. A few months later ... | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 A Tandberg 3012 or 3012A is also a great 100 watt integrated too that will run you $4-500. Also a Creek 5350 SE supposed to be a great sounding unit too. I had the Creek 4330 many years back and it was a very nice sounding unit. | |
| Determining compatibility with amps Single Ended Triode tube amp with high efficiency speakers is a great way to go. You’d be very surprised just how loud a 3 wpc 2A3 amp can get with very efficient speakers > 100 db. But depends on the kind of music you listen too… | |

| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Usually anything silver I like best between electronics, although an interconnect manufacturer told me that copper was best between a preamp and subwoofer as copper does better with bass than does silver. A friend in NorthCentral PA made his own ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? Seems that Schiit Audio has the perfect name to participate in this thread Douk is a close second if you add a ‘Y’ (Douky) | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter @davetheoilguy Thank you for the support and unity. Fortunately, geographically I live in a very safe part of Israel. I’m in the North, but as they say here in Caesarea, we are South of the North and North of the South. Too far from the rocke... | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter @davetheoilguy Just wanted to make sure you’ve got plenty of food and water on hand at your disposal in case of a real emergency. That should be priority No. 1, then get your audio system set up. I live in Israel in a very safe area away f... | |
| New/ used "vintasetage" system Let us know how it works out. I have learned to always be very patient when changing components. Firstly, some things take a long time to burn in and sound right. Unless it’s tube gear, I leave my stuff on all the time and a lot of times it... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes Many years ago I A/B’d a highly regarded pair of Paoli M70 mono blocks against a B&K EX442 Sonata and was completely blown away with how identical in sound these two amps were and how utterly tubelike the B&K actually was. The Paoli’s ... | |

| VANDERSTEEN 2C or CABASSE 321 M3 question Volume will be limited. I don’t know how loud you listen or how big your room is but be careful. Tube amps clip much nicer than SS amps and are harder to detect that they are clipping. Could ruin your speakers if not careful. It might sound be... |
