| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming same or better if higher rez files. If your talking DSD, it sucks just like sacd did, compared to PCM/Redbook 16/44 or 24/96 and if it ever pulls it’s finger out DXD.Cheers George | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming For this reason, I think it’s just a matter of time before CD makes a come-back, similar to vinyl. Hope your right, as I will not take a backwards step.Cheers George | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. whitestix I recall you saying at Burning Amp a year ago that you did not like 6SN7 tubes in preamps.

| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @georgehifi "Why is the Linn CD12 sounding better than their downloads?" I didn't mean Linn's downloads, I meant the downloads the owner of the HD servers with downloaded music on them they bought to compare to my Linn CD12.Cheers George | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming +1 same for me on my system Linn CD12, I’ve yet to get a better 16/44 or 24/96 from recorded downloads when owners bring them around. Even the owners start making excuses, that don’t ad up, why the Linn is sounding better than their downloads .Che... | |

| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. Gryphon products are designed and built to operate flawlessly for 40 years under normal conditions.Having seen inside them, they've got a better chance than many others to get this eyebrow raising claim.Cheers George | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. Have you ever seen inside say a Gryphon Antillion or any of their products? not much can come close for attention to detail.

| Which SR Blue or black Fuse "I don't see anyone here trying to "sell people on fuses." No just the same old handful shilling for the $$$$$ snake oil fuse makers. Isn't it great this crud isn't taking up valuable space now on the Amps Preamp forum, but put in it's right s... | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac Anyway, we have to wait and see how the second encarnation performs. Well the first was a cracker, even Stereophile’s review and bench tests were outstanding and they don’t even advertise there. (if you get my drift) https://www.stereophile.com/c... | |

| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. What are the symptoms of the supply caps being on the way out and at what general age do they become seriously at risk? Sometimes caps can last a very long time, depending how hot they got how close to the limit the voltage was ect ect. Look for ... | |
