| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. Amazon HD. I access via HEOS and stream to a wired Marantz network audio player when I want to listen on my main audio system. Decent-rez service with a good selection at a low price because we are already Amazon Prime subscribers. I use mostly ... | |
| Microphonics, Feedback and Bob Carver I recall a series of articles in AudioXpress on a topic similar to what the original poster raised referred to as “Back EMF.” Here’s a link to the articles. After analysis with a lot of math the author determines that Back EMF is not an issue wo... | |
| REL Sub Hum Schematics are not easily available for your Parasound amps so I can’t confirm, but I wonder if the A23 is a fully balanced design and the 2125 v2 is not. This would explain the different results when connecting the amps the same way. Try conne... | |

| Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp eyelai777, your experience makes sense. If a source such as your Eversolo streamer has a variable output with sufficient voltage and current, then you can drive an amplifier directly. This eliminates interconnects, contacts, potentiometers, capa... | |

The basic functions of a line stage pre-amp: - Select from multiple sources - Support maximum source input voltage (no overload) ... | |
| Educate me about DSD I have downloaded some great sounding DSD format music from High Definition Tape Transfers: https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/. I send to my streamer/DAC via Ethernet with JRiver. | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? I have a Spin Clean and like it. I use it for swap meet/yard sale records and think it does a pretty good job of getting the gunk out. IMO, it makes no sense to use on new records, though. In that case I wouldn't expect a Spin Clean to make any... | |
| My quest for a pair of Tonian Labs speakers was finally realized Yesterday An Oriaco G6 EM Edition with a ribbon tweeter was demoed as well at the 2022 THE Show. Here's a write-up and pictures from ecoustics. | |

| My quest for a pair of Tonian Labs speakers was finally realized Yesterday I recently purchased a pair of current production Tonian Lab Oriaco G6 speakers and am just delighted. I heard Tony's speakers at the last two THE Shows in Long Beach, California and was impressed both times with how natural they sounded. In oth... |
