Is that why a QSA fuse sounds so good.. At 500 hours you put your good tubes back in and Walaaa, the fuse sounds amazing!!!!

It's ridiculous Hearhear to advocate DC. Lets talk about reality. Inverters create a 20,000 cycle noise as well as a 100,000 cycle noise as they turn DC to AC and boost the signal to usable power. That noise appears to be very effectivly filtered by a isolation transformer. There are 3 out...

Definition of high end is tough. A guy at my coffee shop was just showing me a picture of an old Fisher integrated he has. It had four power tubes and maybe six small tubes. Its $3000 on Ebay. If he refurbished it, it may sound better than many $20,000 integrated. So where is high end...

Almost every working crew that comes to my house has some sort of radio playing. A better metrix is concert tickets. In the 70s, 30,000 tickets sold a year. Every year that has gone up. Today there are around 90,000 sold. I am not sure if that is just Ticket Master or what. Vashon Island...

I found the article bias and lacking information. Seemingly lacking in order to sell the idea that high end audio is alive and well. There may be more retailers and manufacturer, but he talked nothing about $$$ spent or pricing of equipment. I think there is a whole lot of growth in low...

I hear Spotify if high res too now. Unfortunately my server wont play it.

I have been offered a Primare 8 channel power amp for a good price. Just not sure I can do it. Every time I put a SS amp in????? I may insert my Musical Fidelity A3cr back in on the woofers and 10. Just to get the SS flavor. Everty time I have, I hear more bass grip. But its less...

No matter how much people want to believe there is somehow a merge of sound between SS and Tube, I just don't hear it. Great tube amps are magic. If you want that sonic signature. I do. Every time I put a SS or class D amp in, I appreciate what they do. But I'm not moved.

Agree. I could leave mine on. I have never changed the tubes and they are going on 7 ot 8 years. When I do swap them, I hear nothing. And its a $40 tube. So who cares.

Ralph has said to leave his class D amp on 24/7.

I don't know I believe much of what you say anymore as again, you seem to be making stories. I stand behind what I say. When I and everyone say we hear attributes that are sonically superior to another product, the product is superior. Ears are excellent tools.

I have stopped believing the word "Preference". Its not just preference. I have sat in a room with 5 or more well respected ears. It was a DAC compare. It was plainly obvious and immediately heard by all the sonic difference and which sounded more like real instruments. What's wrong with a...

What do you mean. Are the distortions so low, there is little harmonic content? Wouldn't that make it less musical and more clinical.

And that is why stores went away. You don't need a store, and sales guys can't make money on that gear. I own a Fosi. Sounds like shit compared to any of my normal amps. Normal being a Musical Fidelity A3cr, Audion Black Shadow 845, Found Music Blade KT88PP, Bottlehead SET45. FOSI is...

You lied about the compare? I let out a big sigh when I read this. Bummed. Seriously. I compared a very good class D to my Dartzeel 108 model 1. Very old model. Not able to update to model 2. I could not tell them apart. It was.loaned to me so I returned it. Later a friend brought a...
