    VR-5 Anniversary MKII

    Has anyone had to remove their drivers to get the cabinets refinished? I have an early pair of MKII in piano black that are in need of a new finish but the drivers seem to be glued into the cabinets. I have reached out to von schweikert a few times for a solution with no response. Is their a...

    Bryston BDA-3

    Has anyone heard this DAC in their system? Definitely the best PCM DAC I have heard since I can't find anything to upsample to the T&A.

    United Home Audio UHA Phase 10

    I keep bugging Greg to build me one of his R2R decks. Some of the best sound I have heard the times I have listened to his personal system. Everytime I break out the checkbook to send the deposit I think of the limited material on tape. Send me sources to buy tape to push me over the edge and...

    Class D amplifiers

    Do class d amplifiers require break in time? Do they get better as they warm up? Due to the different nature in the class d design do they differ in these respects to other amplifier topologies?

    Change of Flavor

    I want to try a new set of power tubes in my Rogue ST100 power amp. This amp sounds too solid state for a tube amp. Recommend a power tube other than the stock KT120 than will give me more of a lush tube sound. I need four so please keep it reasonable in cost.

    DACs Galore and Expectation Bias

    Since the addition of the Aurender N10 in my system I have been wanting to do a subjective listening test of the DACs I have in my possession. The reason the N10 is so important is it drives all its outputs simultaneously. Of course I need to use two different output types but I interchanged...

    Analog Warmth

    My definition of analog warmth is a tube amp and preamp in the winter time. This is great in the winter but not so much in the summer. Who else loves tubes in their audio chain but cannot stand the heat.

    Chinese DAC shames a few heavy hitters

    Guys I have hesitated to post about this DAC due to the possibility of a barrage of flames. I read about the Gustard X20U on the Head Fi forums and was hearing really good feedback. I am the curious type so at only around $800.00 I was game. At the time when the X20 arrived all I had was a Line...

    Heat!!

    I prefer the sound from equipment with tubes but wow the heat is brutal! Great for winter months of listening with a toasty listening room but look out summer. Has anyone ever switched to all SS just to get away from the heat factor?
