    Musical Fidelity x150

    Imho R3500-R4000 is fair if in excellent condition, including remote. ($1000/?800 in 2005) In its favour, it has a completely sealed enclosure, so no real possibility of dust ingress. I had one for a few years. Quite a fun little amp. (I did have to spend some $$$ to have the volume control...

    Debunked! MQA is bad, and misleading you!

    Agreed G. I think I'll send Kobus a mail or two. Was so disappointed that we didn't make this week's list.

    As a sound enthusiast living in an apartment complex, how does one cope?

    One thing you can do is try and reduce the amount of energy that is transmitted from your speakers into the floor. (And from there, into the walls and into your neighbours' mental anger buckets.) Imho it's this, more than just the listening volume, that ends up annoying them. I use a set of...

    Roon room correction.

    I have experimented with this. Used REW software with a UMIK-1 mic to create a profile to be played in Roon. I could hear a difference, but I didn't have enough knowledge to really make it worthwhile. Imho you need to spend some time really getting your head around the theory & practice. Or get...

    Testing vintage amp caps?

    This is pretty close as far as I can tell: Website: https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Vishay/36D672G075CB2A?qs=veKiXyv5pTVQNLJqsjAB0A%3D%3D (I doubt 6600 uF VS. 6700 uF makes a major difference, but I stand to be corrected.) EDIT: I see these are listed but not readily available in small...

    Buying/importing a DAC from overseas

    Maybe check the price with the local RME agent first? [email protected]

    Online review channel, yes or no?

    Do it, Joel. And don't be scared of a little controversy. Feathers are meant to be ruffled.

    What does a good DAC look like

    Since you have the ML 380S Pre, why not consider the ML 360 or 360S DAC? It's from roughly the same era. Will be a visual and sonic match. I think the components even talk to each other. Afaik it's only 24/96 capable, but that's fine for most content. (You'll just need to add e.g. a NuPrime...

    Khadas TONE 2 Pro / with 3-pin balanced RCA connectors (new patent)

    So.. a new 'standard' that isn't compatible with anything else?

    What was the one piece of kit that you should never have sold?

    Mark Levinson No. 29 Power Amp

    Impressions. The Lindemann Musicbook Source

    Seems like a really intelligently designed component. The compatibility with standard USB CD drives is especially smart.

    Where do you guys buy your tubes from ?

    As above. Also: https://www.langrex.co.uk/ https://www.watfordvalves.com/ https://tctubes.com/ I'd recommend also trying a Wanted Ad on the forum if you're looking for something specific. I've bought some great tubes from members here.

    System Audio 2050 floor-standers (what are they worth?)

    So these cost 10,000 Danish Krone in 1997. Not sure what that means, TBH, but personally I would pay maybe R3-4K if immaculate like you said. The company's still going so they must be doing something right. https://system-audio.com

    Unobtanium hi-fi that makes you drool

    Unobtanium? Linn Sondek CD12 CDP. Sony TA-ER1 Pre (&RPS-ER1 PSU) Marantz Esotec PM-4 Integrated. Victor (Japan Victor Company) XL-Z900 CDP.

    Apogee speakers

    Based on those comments I suspect the PS Audio Stellar amps (eg S300) would also work very well here.

    Pioneer A 400 rescue

    Classic amp, that A-400. My brother had one running Mission speakers (760 or 780, can't remember). And a Philips CD850 MKII. Good memories.
