| Ethet net to fiber optic to feed your streamer @rikkipuu Thanks so much for the detailed advice. I actually went ahead and picked up some inexpensive converters on Amazon just to see if I could hear any difference, even with a cheap tweak ($80). I was pretty impressed — the background got n... | |
| Ethet net to fiber optic to feed your streamer @mitch2 I can't tell you how refreshing that response is. I'm running two systems that sound as different as PJ Harvey and Ella Fitzgerald. One is the Sonore Ultrarenddu - Gustard DDC and DAC - PassLabs integrated - Pure Audio Project Trio15. T... | |
| Ethet net to fiber optic to feed your streamer @mitch2 How would you describe the sound quality difference between the hardwired vs mesh (wifi)? | |
| Ethet net to fiber optic to feed your streamer Thanks for the feedback! My home is made motly of three foot thick walls of cement. Routing cable is impractical and wifi gets very sketchy by all the rebar. I think I’ll try the ethernet media converter first and if it works well move up to th... | |
| Dang it… cables do matter (at least in my system) I just ordered my next “Snake Oil” cable. I’m going to try a Cardas Clear Cygnus on my Technics SL1200GR2 with Ortofon LVB 250 running into a Sutherland KC Vibe II. The cable costs more than the gently used Sutherland. Thanks so much for ever... | |
| Dang it… cables do matter (at least in my system) Thanks for the comments. I have to say I really enjoy my Blue Jeans cables. My entire system is hooked up with them (except the phono). If I walked away for 30-60 minutes I'd find it difficult to pick which cable was in use. The analog portion... | |
| Pass XP-17 + MM carts “clip/distort” on peaks, but low-output Paua II is fine — Overload? I used a BlueJean phono cable and a Pro-Ject phono cable and didn't hear a difference. | |
| Pass XP-17 + MM carts “clip/distort” on peaks, but low-output Paua II is fine — Overload? Thanks for all the input, especially suggesting I contact Pass labs. Kent English a technical support specialist from Pass Labs contacted me less than 12 hours after emaililng them. That is pretty surprising since I picked this equiptment up gen... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Awise1961 I do have NOS Mullards in the preamp and RCA clear tops in the power amp. I always get a little rush when the Mullards flash at startups. pdreher I totally understand your sentiments and in general I agree. Maybe it's more like test... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. The KT120s and 150s had been in the amp for about 3 weeks listening about 3 hours a night. Maybe not enough to really be "burnt in". I may have to give each another month of listening. I've heard the KT15... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? Cleeds I understand your sentiments and pretty much agree - however - if I drop $1,000 on tubes and am disappointed in them it would be nice to have some way to mitigate the losses. I’d rather pay a restocking fee then hope someone would buy them... | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra I’m using some custom made bi-wire speaker cables made from Mogami W3104. Interconnected with audioquest cinnamons. | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra @dweller yes I did a fair amount of tube rolling. Mostly with the Freya+. I’ve tried a number of combinations and pretty much stuck with RCA NOS 5692s for the voltage gain tubes and GE NOS 6SN7s for the cathode followers. I did get some Gold Li... | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra Those Volti Rivals look amazing. New USaudiomart saved search! | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra I was hoping but not set on eliminating the subs. The space where I’m putting the speakers will have them 2-3 feet away from the front wall but with my center console the Cornwalls would pretty much fill the width of the room. im not in a hurry s... |
