R. I. P. Jack Bruce
Hi Chayro ..... All my prayers are with you and your family. Hopefully, your wife, my dad, and Jack Bruce will all continue to shine down upon us ! My dad, who passed away in 2011 and was a D-Day hero (Omaha Beach, 29th. division) always loved Cla... 
OSX Yosemite Upgrade and DAC Malfunction
Just installed Yosemite this morning on my "late 2012" Mac Mini. I'm now listening to iTunes Radio (Allman Brothers Band .... by the way, tonight at the Beacon Theater in NYC .... their last concert) via my Audioengine D1 DAC and A5 speakers. Alth... 
Opinions on Revel M20 vs PMC TB2+
Hi Jon .... You're in a very enviable position. You are interested in two different speakers and you have them both. The best possible answer to your questions is actually quite simple. Spend quality time listening to each pair, and decide for you... 
Perhaps a foolish question, but .....
Thanks Mofimadness .... seems like a simple solution. 
CSNY Live 1974
To all of my fellow Audiogoners who have ever loved Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young ..... get this boxed set ! It is fantastic ! Whether you are a fan of any of the boys singularly, in assorted duo combinations, as the original threesome, or as th... 
Changing Preamp tubes on a Cronus Magnum?
For me, this really worked quite well ..... in the center small tube slot, an RCA NOS 5814 replaced the original Electro-Harmonix 12AU7 gain stage tube. 
Changing Preamp tubes on a Cronus Magnum?
Call Rogue Audio and speak with either Mark or Nick. Nobody knows tube upgrades for their amps better than they do, and they will happily help you out. 
Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years
I've bought many beautiful sounding Blue Note (and similar labels) re-issues from the Dustygroove.com website.A terrific selection, and nicely packaged for shipping. Check it out - lots of great stuff ! 
Macbook w/ Audirvana vs. CD playback
The Rotel into the DAC for the easiest comparison listening. The Emotiva has a remote which can switch sources ... the Rogue does not. Best way to immediately compare CD to download is via the Emotiva DAC. My usual CD listening is with the Rotel d... 
Tweaking my Cronus Magnum Tubes
The RCA NOS 5814 is a great upgrade. Smart purchase ! I check my tube bias about once every two months...... rarely needs any adjustments. Enjoy your "upgraded" amp, and have fun listening to your music ! 
Rega TT-PSU drops right channel
Hey .... I just realized, after posting my above comments, that your RP6 may not have its own power cord and you may not be able to bypass the TT-PSU.. With my P3-24, the TT-PSU was an addition, and although it makes the table better in many ways,... 
Rega TT-PSU drops right channel
Have you tried playing a record without the TT-PSU ? Disconnect the TT-PSU and plug the table with its original power cord into the wall outlet (or your power conditioner.) How is the right channel now ? If all is well, then your TT-PSU is defecti... 
Tweaking my Cronus Magnum Tubes
I'm pretty sure the phono stage is solid state. 
CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect
4 Way Street (I also have the original double LP) is still one of my favorite all-time albums. Stills' piano keys pounding live version of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" leading right into "Love the One You're With" is simply amazing. 
Tweaking my Cronus Magnum Tubes
Call Rogue Audio. Chances are that Mark O'Brien will answer the phone. Speak with him or Nick. They can give you the best advice for new tubes. They have both been a tremendous help for me as I have upgraded the tubes in my Cronus (non-Magnum)inte...
