Hi all. So my brother is moving and of course... his wife threw out his boxes for his ascents. Any recommendations for a safe move? It’s about a 20 mile move... thanks Tim

So hi all I have a difficult time hearing phase differences. So here is my question - I have a descent hooked to a preamp that inverses the phase and I flip the red/black on the speaker cables to account for that. What SHOULD my phase be set to on the descent to account for this inverting...

Hi all. For awhile now - my son has been writing classical music. He has written 6 string quartets and had members of the Argentina symphony record 3 of them in 96/24. He just spit out this piano sonata the other day and He would like your opinion of it. Tell us what you think. And negative...

Hi all. Need advice. I have a sunfire signature amp. A Cary slp98p. The fuse in the external power supply of the pre continues to blow after anywhere from 5-30 hrs. To debug it I disconnected everything - let the pre stay on 48 hours straight. No issue. Next hooked up amp - turned it on...

Hey all. So without raising a ruckus. :). I see a power cord I like on sale and it comes in 15 amp vs 20amp versions. I would have to check but I think the plugs are identical. So given this for a power amp - does it make any diff?? I have 20 amp line in the wall and 15 amp plugs. Thanks...

So - Since the tax law in 2018 will give a standard deduction of 24K - and depending on your situation - that could cover your deductions today....You may not itemize for 2018.... So, real estate taxes is a large chunk of that deduction.... I am not tax advisor - but, it would seem that it...

https://apple.news/Arlm2e33dS-i_M8bCICBDYg I remember during my childhood having disaster drills preparing for the big one as if putting our heads between our legs under our desks would help. Truly scary stuff.

Hi all.... I had a post in off-topic which really didn't celebrate this... so to my audio wacko friends (i.e. not my wife) .... I celebrate with you!! :) I have had this long torturous journey (4 years total) with the Magnepan 20.7.... We got a new house about 4.5 years ago.... and I had a...

Hi guys. I recently decided to pull the trigger on speakers I have been dreaming of. So I went into the dealer that I brought my son to about 3 years ago and this guy treated my son great for probably what amounted to 100 bucks. So I decided to go back and reward him with a big sale. So we...

So recently my Cary slp98p pre stopped. No power .. no tube light up , no blue light on the front. I'm suspecting power supply but if any of you have ideas - appreciated. The power is in a separate box. So the Cary is normally out of phase so I need to flip flop the speaker connections. I...

Since we haven't had enough of this topic...... :) ... So, where does this go? What is the end result here? Is it - 'we had a problem.... the election is not valid...'....or is it... 'Look Hillary won Wisconsin and Michigan by 15 votes if we ignore these dangling chads!!'.... is it - 'we...

Is this even possible? I thought since the other threads are just completely negative bashing one candidate or the other.... Maybe we could 'all just get along' and write positive things about the candidates without bashing ? This is a stretch I know... but worth a shot? If it fails...

Ok .. I put this gizmo in about two hours ago. And it is essentially a reclocker and jitter/noise reducer for USB which sits between PC and dac. I will not commit until I do an a/b but so far I lean towards 'better'. I thought everything sounded fine but I had this Amazon gift card burning a...

Hi all. I am looking at replacing two of my Chinese tubes in my Cary slp98p. I am looking at the 6sn7 sylvania bad boy and multiple RCA - black base and either white or red letter. Anyone have an opinion or give me a description of their character ? Both are between 85 and 115 for the pair -...

Wondered if anyone here ran into this issue. Usually the first time I play an album in jriver - it stops at the end of the first song. A message box comes up saying 'There was a problem during playback'. It does this once on the first album I play then no issues. Any clues?

Hi all. I just wanted to make a comment here on double Dsd recordings. Recently I downloaded some double DSD samplers. To say these sound amazing is an understatement. If you do not have any recordings from the Opus 3 label - get a sampler. Best recordings I have ever heard. One of their...

Hi all. Anyone have win 10 and squeezebox server installed? Any issues? What version of LMS? Thanks tim

Hi All.... I had a day off ... and some bad things happened.... I ordered up a ps audio directstream....It was a screamin good deal.... I am geeked to say the least as the latest firmware seems to hold its own against some very nice DACs..... I currently have a Denon 5900 - and will use...

Hey guys. What is the best external HD for lots of storage? Just looking for a USB external. Are the larger ones reliable? Does the additional speed really make a diff? I'm not a hardware guy. Is USB 3.0 compatible w 2.0? Thanks Tim

Hi all. Might some of you comment on jriver? Does the license expire or is it a pay once license? Also do you use the different up sampling or conversion features it offers. I have heard that it makes things sound better? Have you found this to be true? How is the user interface for...
