VacuumTubes.com (not to be confused with VacuumTubes.net - different vendor) has some terrific prices but I'm wondering whether that is due to the merchandise possibly being of lesser quality such as selling used tubes as ANOS or exhibiting microphonics. TCtubes' prices are more in line with...

I learned that the tube is not active when connecting a source through a T1 Aune's line-in and am wondering if the same occurs with the T1se?   What I'd like to do is plug my turntable into the line-in to take advantage of the tube's beautiful imagery but that's not possible through my T1. If...

I'm itching to buy one of these for my wife who works in a noisy environment (i.e. blabbermouths). The thin cable is of concern to me as a few reviewers mentioned that it degraded a little too easily.   I wish to know if anybody has any tips on easy mods one could perform to strengthen the...

I've always had issues with EMI (electromagnetic interference) when using soundcards and I am so sick and tired of it. For those not familiar with it, it's the squealing and static sounds that pollute the music.   Can anybody recommend the soundcard that has been shielded the best so I can fix...

The Nomad looks very interesting, but I don't want the headphones nor the headphone amp.   Are there any other quality all-in-one turntables that wouldn't necessitate a painful and lengthy setup for the novice user?   Thanks! :)

My T1 Aune is ridiculously hot to the touch! 105F to be more precise. By slipping a BBQ thermometer in the headphone jack, temps go to 145F! That does not look normal to me.   For the record, I'm using an Amperex Orange Globe tube.   Also, I'm now having some audio issues where after a...

I've seen this problem occur in many PCs and have never been able to find any solution to this incredibly annoying issue! I don't make use of a soundcard in my PC. The audio is routed through a USB cable into a DAC (Aune T1) which then plugs via an RCA cable into my stereo amp (Arcam AVR350)...

Might be springing for a DAC in the next few months and am wondering which one out of those 2 would sound "better."   Obviously, it's all subjective, but if anybody has had experiences with these units, especially to compare, I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences.   Thanks a...

Just bought some Sennheiser RS-120 and am deeply disappointed with them.   When the input sound is louder, a compression scheme called HiDynPlus kicks in and normalizes the volume to a lower setting!!! This is terrible when listening to dynamic things such as movies, Jazz, or classical...

Here's my setup.   Fatar Numa Nero MIDI controller > PC > East/West Quantum Leaps Pianos sampler program > Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 Ultra > headphones.   Looking for a set of cans that'll reproduce solo piano and classical music beautifully. I also listen to solo piano and classical music a...

Sorry for the dramatic title, but I really am desperate to find some, used or new (but understandably preferably new) and I think if anybody would know, it'd be the experts who are member of this forum.   These headphones (while snubbed by many) are *the* sound I love and I can't find them...

Here's a bunch of info so people can assist me... I'm sick & tired of all the outside sounds I hear while wearing regular headphones. I walk a lot & commute using public transportation. If it's possible, I'd like to hear dead silence and be swamped with music instead. My media player is a...
