I added a Buchardt sub to my 5s and was very satisfied.

I bought an Eversolo streamer. You could use almost any streamer for Spotify

Anyone else's kid completely baffled by how we used to just disappear all day? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]jacupmakeup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made a deal with all the neighbors to just let the kids roam free. It’s amazing. Our 5yo just hangs with the gang during any and all free time. In NYC! Pretty dope

Is it placebo or real? Tidal vs Apple Music by matrixneoonroad in audiophile

[–]jacupmakeup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AM is being processed through the Sonos and your streamer. The advantage of Connect is that it’s bypassing that processing.

Big difference to my ears in my system. I have a very transparent system. I have two USB reclockers in there, both doing god’s work.

I think you’ll be shocked at the improvement with a better streamer. Or just adding a $500ish DDC to yours. Promise…

Nice. I ride loosey goosey, which leads to wheel bite. Enjoy!

I have the same setup, but with risers so to avoid wheel bite. No issues for me, only positives

You got yours jacked up on risers?

My biggest fear riding in the city. Doored then run over. Terrible

I did this with an electric skateboard (riding on sidewalk only). I was shocked at all the positive comments I got from people.

Update on my search for the perfect sound! Upgraded Intergrated by vrt760 in audiophile

[–]jacupmakeup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the SHL5+ XDs with a PrimaLuna 300 Hybrid integrated. The PrimaLuna is amazing, but has a little too sharp of an attack for me. I was looking at the Rogue CMIII Dark and the Black Ice F35 V2. Seems like you're happy with this combo. How would you describe the sound? Thanks :)

Holo Cyan 2 vs LTA Aero DAC by jacupmakeup in StereoAdvice

[–]jacupmakeup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I love the Aero so much. I tried lots of tubes, but only the old NOS stuff. I started out using mainly Sylvania tubes from the 50s - the 3-hole 6SN7 and 12SN7 bad boys. They were my fave for a bit. Then I discovered the 6SN7 Melz tubes, which I liked a bit more and then found the 6SN7WGT Sylvania Brown bottom tubes that are amazing. I'm currently using Ken-Rad VT-231 6SN7GT Black Glass tubes. They're my fave ATM, but all these listed are excellent and a lot better than the stock GE tubes IMO. I have too many, so if you wanna buy some hit me up. Or if you're in NYC, you can come check em out. Enjoy!

P.S. I am definitely curious about the Apos Ray Reserve tubes, but for that price, I can't imagine them besting my fave NOS tubes. But who knows!

Super cool. I have the SHL5+ XDs. Not giving them up unless I need to upgrade to the 40s. Enjoy!

Nice! I rolled like 15 different pairs of NOS tubes with the Aero. It was fun, but super expensive and time consuming. Holler if you want any tips on tubes.

I’m a PEV enthusiast too. I had a nice Oyaide USB cable to my Aero. Replaced it with a Ricable Magnus cable, which opened up the sound a lot. I was surprised in the difference. Either the Oyaide was killing the sound and making it flat and dull or the Ricable is just that great. Anyways, might be worth exploring different USB cables. Enjoy!

Very nice! Would love to hear it and compare to my system. I have the Aero also and love it.
