Macbook Pro to Aurender
Well, I am demoing an Aurender N100 now. Several hours for my music to transfer but Tidal came up easy as pie and sounds great without any problems so far. Simple, really great build quality. So far so good. 
Macbook Pro to Aurender
Thanks for the reply's. I am going to demo the N100H in the next few weeks and see what I think. 
Try Stillpoints footers under Power Conditioner?
Yes under an Audience AR6. I have used Stillpoints a lot and have a bunch. Biggest difference was speakers, then AC conditioner, then amps. Little change under MSB analog dac or power supply. Some benefit under MSB UMT+. 
Price of Audience aR6-TSS Power Conditioer
You could look at the cable company, they carry new audience products. 
MSB Analog DAC experience
Stickman451, yes, I did get the MSB Analog DAC and like it a lot. I got it with the USB that was later upgraded to the new USB II for DSD x4 but mainly because it sounds better with the regular rebook as well downloads. I also got a Universal Medi... 
Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think?
I have had the entire Herron set up. I went to digital only and sold the preamp and phono stage and kept the M1A. I run a MSB Analog Dac straight into the M1A's. The last piece of herron I bought was the mono amps and I think it was the best piece... 
Diana Krall, Wallflower
But she conveys the lack of emotion with such intensity. I liked the album. 
Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs
For audio I prefer single ended if I can get it. That being said, there is so much more to sound quality than if the piece is balanced and single ended. I think the hype on balanced for home audio is just that in most cases. I would stay where you... 
Herron VTPH-2 power cord
When I had a VTPH-2 I used the Audience PowerChord SE with very good results. I use this same power chord on all the Herron, phono, pre and power amps. 
Synergistic Research HFT are you using them?
I did not find them to make any difference though the person doing the demo would proclaim marked improvement in ( insert audiophile word of the day ) each time another set was added. I do believe in room treatment, vibration control etc. I just w... 
Tidal HiFi Streaming?
I have been very pleased with Tidal. I used to use spottily on my wireless living room system, but would be disappointed in my main system, ( verity audio, herron, MSB ). I now listen to Tidal on both and have spent a whole day doing some serious ... 
Nottingham Ace Spacedeck Tweaks
I had a Nottingham Spacedeck for a number of years and loved it. I also did a lot of modifications on it, one step at a time. It was a Spacedeck with the new arm. The biggest benefit I noticed was going to the heavy kit. It seemed like a lot of mo... 
Lego turntable
I will only be impressed when they slap a msrp on it of $95,000.00 or higher. 
Single ended RCA preamp short list
Agree with Shindo. Another domestic is Herron. 
TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service
I have used Tidal from day one here in US. Some problems with drop outs early, first few days. No problems since. I use Tidal daily on two systems and never have a problem. One of the issues with streaming is the idea that free access will destroy...
