I tried to like streaming but couldn't do it. Not my bag. Maybe I'll try again in the future....

I grew up on Queen and love all the major hits. But if you want some deep cuts to try Drowse and White Man

I heard a deep cut from this album on the oldies station and have been thinking about it all week......

That goofy rotary switch is suspect too

looks like a bodge job "pro" amp conversion. Fuses and nanner jacks up front for use in a rack in a PA system. looks like the extra fuses are in series with the negative speaker terminals and the Zobel networks are there on the front nanner jacks too. Other than the roadie mods the amps look...

Tubes?! Spill the beans!

Yeah they're on the site. I leaned hard into my speakers and telescopes the past few months and forgot about my preamp lol

What RCA jacks fit the board?

I'm convinced a recap, regulators, motorized blue velvet volume pot, and new RC4136s made a noticeable difference in sound on my C-1. I haven't done the RCA jacks yet but that's my next move. The old ones are cheap and nasty.

I bet the pro ject streamer has a replay gain function.....

I'm thinking about using that HP mini PC as a streamer, there's a web interface plug in on github for DeadbeeF, or I could do the same thing with Kodi.

Eh I don't know...sensitivity and selectivity leave much to be desired. My 1940s Pilot tuner works better but really isn't HiFi or stereo. I think a Magnum Dynalab is better if you want a modern front end + tube stank. That being said I still wanna pick up another FM-3 to play with.

Dynaco FM-3 (parted out back in '09). I do have an FM Pilot tuner sidecar unit for my Philco 42-390. I guess the oldies station (KDSK) is ok, their audio isn't great though. The "classic rock" stations suck, just Def lepard, Boston, and Guns N Roses on repeat. If I could get a news and...

Yeah! Stomp on the brakes and jerk the wheel the other direction!

If you got 5-20k to burn then get the biggest, most imposing, and impractical speakers with the listening space/amplification to match. Your existing CD transport and DAC are probably already at the point of diminishing returns.

Merry Christmas! I was too damned busy yesterday to air my grievances for Festivus. I participated in the normal Christmas eve shindig with the family and then hit the hot tub with a glass of Laphroaig and a Macanudo stogie. And yes I only buy stuff for the neices/nephews/parents. Remember to...

I use a higher end Pioneer Laser Disc/DVD player as a CD transport (has spdif out) and a Schiit DAC. I can't tell the difference between it and FLACs from my laptop. The LD player also has a decent display for the CD tracks/time and a remote. A lot of guys here also use Oppo blu ray players for CDs

Wasn't this thread about cigars or something?
