| Newbie questions - Seeking a streamer with the right features - I'm confused! If you have a NAS already get a dedicated streamer as mentioned above for your hi fi rig. Then get another device like a sonos for your other room both can access the same NAS if networked together. That way they are separated and you could poteti... | |
| Why price of Tannoy speakers from online retailers in UK is cheaper than in US I feel this is the number one reason you see audio companies starting to direct sell so there is not the middle man taking a cut. This lowers their prices 15-30% across the board. the distributor is a love hate relationship. Love the overseas prod... | |
| choice between integrated dac amp vs non integrated I had a full Naim separates system a few years ago just could not get into their sound always dry and lifeless IMO. Sure the PRAT but boring. I went back to Tubes, but I have heard some great SS as well mostly Class A. I have heard a Lyngdorf i... | |
| choice between integrated dac amp vs non integrated Have you had Naim Gear in your system before? Its got a sound all to its own and not everyone likes it so listen before buying, also consider all the dedicated wires (DIN) and power supply's you'll need. Nothing in the Naim world works well with o... | |
| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? also consider if a double album is one or two records as that will effect your outcome. also jacket thickness to some degree. | |
| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I also think highly of the Sansui Tuners. well I do have a upgraded TU 717. If I could afford any tuner it would be the Sansui TU X1 I've heard one once and have been lusting after one since but they go for stupid money now. Kenwood tuners are wor... | |
| Cary SLI 80 crumped I went from early Cary gear (slp94 and slm 100 mono's) to a Naim system and music died in my life, don't go that way if you like the Cary's you wont be happy with the Naim gear in my experience, totally different sounds. Luxman on the other hand w... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers For your Thiels I would look for a local tech to look at them, really no reason to send them half way across the country for another tech. If you are just trying to repair them any competent tech can change a failed part. I'd imagine there are qui... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Anyone know what the quality of AC coming out of the Yeti is like? all good to have a power generator but if its as dirty as the wall why bother? | |
| WiFi extender needed for residence? Another option to consider is a extender that uses the power lines this will allow you to get wifi in other rooms also allows for a hard wired connection. | |
| WHAT TURNTABLE? Do you have a springy floor? are you wall mounting? do you need more isolation? things to consider with these two different camps in table design. suspended table with some mass (VPI), unsuspended low mass table (rega). both can be great if you ha... | |
| Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase? Probably some. I use reviews, form information and audio friends as a sounding board mostly. When I'm looking to make an upgrade or side step I like to have as much information about the items I'm looking at as possible. I take every comment I rea... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge One last thing to consider AJ VDH is getting up there in years so best to get it done now IMO. many of the pioneers in Audio Land are getting up there in years like many of us. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i network server/DAC yes you can put one component on one input and the other on another. unless I'm reading your question wrong.cd player to your old dac to your line 1input. your blue sound node 2i to your line 2 input. | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth my temporary footer set up is a steal cone sitting in a brass disc with a dimple with some very thin (1/16") sorbothane pads under each brass disc. this has been good but not the best as it floats and may not be that stable specially if bumped.
