| Dipping my toes into EL84 tubes This Line Magnetic LM84ia that BEK has sounds great and is priced well for experimenting with EL84 tubes. It's an integrated that's quite heavy for it's size. I'm unaffiliated with BEK, just a customer/friend of the shop. https://www.bekhifi.com/... | |
| Looking for a technician to repair tube amplifiers. Peter and Karl at Vu Jade in Jersey. Peter is @bigkidz here on the forum. | |
| Long Time Live Music listening friend just passed. I'm sorry for your loss, Elliot. What a wonderful friendship to have. Enjoy all the memories! | |
| Audio Mirror Wave Tube DAC review by Steve Huff @hilde45 I had no idea! Thanks for posting that. Why does he have a beard in some of the videos and not others even though chronologically it's impossible? It certainly explains his mannerisms and makes him even less believable than before. He has... | |
| Anyone Still Listening to Salk Speakers ? I use a pair of BePure2's. Beautifully made. Beautiful sound. | |
| Satellite tv box killed streaming sound quality The front firing woofer in my REL was "vibrating" at a slowish rate (a couple times a second). I heard the noise for weeks but brushed it off as something else until I got my ear near the sub. As I explored grounding issues, level issues, etc., I ... | |
| PS Audio PMG 512 DAC vs Grimm MU2 or Meitner MA3i with Roon? Do you mean the Grimm MU1? The MU2 does not have the ability to feed a DAC. It's a streamer DAC. The MU1 is a streamer. Why don't you just use Roon with the Innuos? I know it used to sound better using Sense but Roon is a better interface (as you ... | |
| Anyone own or heard the Atalante 7s? BEK Hifi in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania has them to demo. They also have the 5's. They have a pair of the new Harbeth 40.5 XD2's if you want to hear something similar in size and looks. They're a great dealer. Lots of analogue too if that's ... | |
| DAC recommendations under $7K @bhvf I considered an M scaler for my Qutest, upgading my DAC later, however as I understand it USB doesn’t fully utilize its capabilities vs the dual BNC, it is designed to run on. USB cannot fully exploit what the M Scaler is capable of, by des... | |
| DAC recommendations under $7K Chord TT + MScaler if you can find used. That's going to give you exactly what you want. Or buy the TT new and find a used MScaler. | |
| DAC's Streamer and Preamps Great advice from @elliottbnewcombjr ... It never hurts to start with an inexpensive piece that sounds surprisingly nice, 'good enough' to start, for future emergencies, loan to friends .... and you have it to compare/prove something you try sou... | |
| CAF 2025 I forgot to add...best sound at the show to me was the Tidal room. Speakers $64k, amp was like $94k, cables were eye watering expensive. Dual REL Carbon Specials. Amazing 3 dimensionality and realism. Speakers disappeared. I’m convinced the subs b... | |
| CAF 2025 Chesky monitors really were impressive. Popori's 2 rooms sounded great. I'm not normally a fan of panels. These have bass, detail, effortless dynamics, etc. QLN Prestige 3 Gen 2 are outstanding as are most QLN speakers I've heard (not the Sono... | |
| NY Audio Show 2025 Your room sounded great...as usual. I thought there were less good sounding rooms than at most shows. Crowds were much larger than I expected on a Friday. | |
| ??? Axxess Audio Forte 1??? My local dealer/friend loves the Forte. It's become his favorite all around amp. It pairs well with all the speakers he has. He has the 1 and the 3. They all sound great with the more expensive one not tons better than the cheaper one. Find a deal... |
