To sell more equipment.

What are the power amps?

And how many preouts on the pre, and what connections do you have on the power amps? I have four power amps, but only use one, and it is enough - A...

Because it won’t make any difference…. Got three sets of speaker cable?

Why would you want to? One nice amp will do nicely.

And today I replaced my Mark Grant DSP mains cable with a Neotech OCC combination (plugs and cable). This has go e on my BB3, so time will tell if I...

Personally, I would look for an OCC copper cable, with decent plugs. A secondhand "Spitfire" would do the job nicely, and is a big step up from the...

Nope. No idea.

One size does not fit all, as many of our listening rooms are completely different from other members.

As an update, I believe that the hum problem has been fixed. I replaced the 7805 voltage regulator with a Texas Instruments LM340T-5, as well as...

I have done the same thing looking for a new DAC, to realise what I have now is perfectly good enough, so I have stopped looking.

:lol:

The first post states why not.

A major step forward today. I removed the Elfidelity USB card from the system, and I am feeding my DAC directly from the motherboard USB. It sounds...

You had to say that, didn’t you? ;) I have Boris Blank\Malia spinning and it sounds sublime. I am really not sure what a real Frame Grid would...

Over the weekend, I came to the realisation that I have not tried my Cyrus CLS70 speakers with my Mod 686 amp. I think I should give them a try, as...

A few more hours later, and I am quite happy to keep the JJ E83CC frame grid tube in place. It sounds great, and for €25, it is a bargain compared...

There seems to be very little difference between them on a few tracks I have listened to. I think I am expecting too much.

Tidal HiFi+ trial has begun.

Nice...

Tidal won't let me have a free trial. :( I must have done that before, probably many years ago.

The thought had crossed my mind, but the other thought is to just put up with it and buy more vinyl. Seen a second hand Audio-GD R1 for sale, which...

Nope.

Thanks for the link. I have only looked at R2R DACs recently as I think I have come to the conclusion that the source (streaming) is the issue, and...

So listening to FLAC files stored on my music server, it sounds pretty good. Streaming the audio direct from Amazon HD sounds less good. Is this...

What about Angus (Phonomac).

My post was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment.

Ever tried Herbie’s tube dampers? Quite tempted to try some of the SS versions.
