| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear "Timeline" by Kerry LivgrenLivgren is a former member of Kansas. This is his second solo album recorded in 1984 featuring mostly prog rock music. I purchased the CD in the 80’s, but recently found it on vinyl and was surprised by its expansive sou... | |
| Best cartridge I decided recently to invest a modest amount in analogue going with a Pioneer PLX-1000 and Nagaoka MP-150. I am pleased with the sound, and enjoy the novelty of playing a record. Music has become more of an event rather than sometimes being just ... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? I've owned the Don Sachs model 2 and DeHavilland Ultraverve III and compared side-by-side. I sold the Don Sachs. | |
| A must watch YouTube video on stylus in the groove!!! I have nothing to add to this conversation except my name is Tom. ~Tom in Sacramento | |
| Finally Settled on a Preamp—Don Sachs Model 2 Custom Linestage I sold my DS2 last year, and kept the deHavilland. The person who bought it says they are very happy. YMMV. ~Tom | |
| NYC audio dealers Fantastic, seems you found something better to do this time, I would've died to see Dylan, especially #17. I'm a huge fan of Slow Train Comin'. | |
| NYC audio dealers @john_g How did you enjoy NYC? Find any good places? | |
| NYC audio dealers I love NYC, each year my wife works at NYU in January for a few days and I always go with her. This year I plan to visit World of McIntosh https://worldofmcintosh.com/ that I learned about recently and am very excited about. Other than that, unfo... | |

| Holo Audio Spring DAC LEVEL 3 Vs. iFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC and Music Streamer @auxinput - I reread my comment; I was careful to paraphrase you correctly. Your suspicions that day were off, the HOLO is not bright. You’re a well respected member. Your opinion in this instance actually hurts more than helps, I’m sure you can s... | |
| Holo Audio Spring DAC LEVEL 3 Vs. iFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC and Music Streamer Huh? HOLO Spring L3 has silver wire and therefore probably bright/clinical? And you've never heard a HOLO? I've never read such a ridiculous statement. Or have I?Actually I have...and sadly, lots of times...always on this Forum. Too many people as... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? Of the three you mentioned I've only owned the DS. If you're looking to "round off" the sound -- not sure what you mean except maybe you need a little smoothness or sweetness? IME, the DS has great detail that pairs better with a tube amp than i... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit or Denafrips Ares? Agree with ianroger. The Ares, I remember, sounded very musical, it did away with digital glare. It got me interested in R2R dacs and I’ve never looked back. | |
| Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra? Glad you came back! Maybe try a tube pre next? I've never heard the Truth, but looking it up online it seems constructed similarly to a passive pre I own, the Lightspeed Attenuator, which has a super clean sound, very low or no coloration. I l... | |
