| WHY CABLES MATTER! OMG not again! | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! I have an Aurender N150 and am looking to replace it, not because of the SQ which is very good but because of the Conductor app. The app seems to have been designed around Tidal because using Qobuz I am unable to sort albums saved to my library in... | |

| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? Counter to most views I agree with fuzztone. Recently my US $ 5000 pre developed a hum problem so I hooked my power amp up to my Pure Audio 5 Lotus DAC using it as a preamp. The SQ was excellent - detailed. good imaging and soundstage with no SS h... | |
| Best amplifier for low to moderate listening levels I found that a Nord Purifi Class D amp at 250wpc at 8ohms was a great match for my ML Vantage speakers, Funnily enough when I bought Sonus Faber Sonetto V speakers the Class D did not work as well as a Rogue ST90 with KT120 tubes. My guess is that... | |
| tube bias conundrum @jjss49 OK I know Chinese junk, poor quality control is the obvious reason the tubes won't bias. However it doesn't explain why the tubes sound good and getting better with 50 hours of burn in now. I would appreciate some informed opinion why thi... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier The Rogue Stereo 100 amp would do the job perfectly with 100 wpc and the choice of triode or ultralinear mode. I have a Rogue Stereo 90 in which I am currently using Tung Sol KT120 tubes (very hard to get at present), the same as the Stereo100, a... | |
| What's Up? Not unusual on this forum to get a multitude of answers to questions never posed. | |
| Simple question, probably stupid Thank you to all those who read, understood and responded to my simple question and to all those who chose to answer a completely different question ie do tubes need to be burnt in? With regard to that latter issue, as it has been raised, I might ... | |
| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? 18HZ - 30KHZ frequency response. Wow what speakers are they? | |
| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience My experience with the conductor app and Aurender support has been nothing short of disastrous. Firstly when integrating with Qobuz I lost about 300 albums that were in my Quobuz library and had to spend many hours manually trying to reload the mi... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps I bought a ClassD amp mainly because I wanted an amp I could lift. I was dubious at first but took the plunge and got a Nord Purifi dual mono Class D with Spargo op amps putting out 250wpc. I got a huge surprise when it had burned in for about 100... | |
| Is D-Sonics audio still in business I have a Nord Purifi dual mono Class D amp which I rate as excellent value and SQ. Mine cost under Aust$3000 including shipping from the UK to Australia, customs duty etc. They also do cheaper single end Purifi amps and Hypex amps as well as more ... | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement I had Shahinian Obelisk speakers driven by an ME850 250wpc amp and the sound was thin and generally awful. I blamed the speakers and sold them. Later I heard the same speakers demonstrated with a 100wpc McCormack amp I think and the sound was sens... | |
| Amp question with size constraints Second Class D either Purifi or GAN. I have a Nord Purifi and it completely knocked my socks off after many years of tube and SS gigantuan amps. |
