| PC+Dac or Streamer @melm Exactly same story in my old place except my NAS replaced a MacMini with external drive. The NAS via ethernet to microRendu ethernet/USB to the same dac was a huge improvement. Friends have had similar experiences with a variety of PC/Mac se... | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer @mgrif104 It sounds like your issue is more of a networking issue than a Bluesound issue. When I moved to a new place where I couldn't run a long ethernet cable like I did before, I switched to wifi operation and because of the distance between au... | |
| Can anyone explain this? Could be a weak solder joint in your cables or cables touching other cables creating "an antenna" and during the swap out you happened to get them oriented just right. The slightest bump of your connection points and it might reappear. Just an edu... | |
| Turntables +1 on the Technics 1200GR. It's built like a tank and is far less fiddly for a newbie than some of the others suggested, especially the belt drives. Some discount Technics as not being an audiophile-approved brand, but with a bit of research you w... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline @millercarbon,Great, well-written post! Hilarious and makes your point. I took one additional step to further increase the wife's enjoyment of the music. I upgraded the wife! ;-) Enjoy your setup...and your wife's company. Cheers,Spencer | |
| For the rest of my life Ypsilon or Luxman? Setting aside the sound of the amps, if you want "For Life", then I'd tell any friend that it's an easy choice between:one of the all-time stalwart companies of high end with vast resources, service network and probably a warehouse of all partsvs.... | |
| Watts, and clarity. @elevick Good point! Among lower priced amps, NAD often touted plenty of dynamic headroom as one of the reasons theirs sounded better than others with comparable power output.Back to the musicality aspect of the OP's question, IMHE, better parts q... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. The CommitmentsHi FidelityI am SamJackie Brown (and many other Tarantino flix)Fun topic...there's a bunch of them. Thanks for the suggestions. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp @cogito1965,Have you listened to setups like described above? If so, what did you hear? If not, well...Cheers,Spencer | |
| Electrostatic Speakers @jhills IMHE, they all require plenty of power. The older SLs require more than newer models. Some of the smaller Maggies, a bit less than the larger ones, but 3.x and larger need a pretty good push to get their best out of them.ESL63s were my fir... | |
| Best Sounding Computer Audio Player For PC It's XX High End, a software package, from Phasure. It's got a small fanatical user base. It's a windows tweaker's paradise, but I find it far from user friendly. The last thing I want to do is change settings and control my playback from a comput... | |
| Is there a cost effective 'quality' USB and Network cable? @lightfighter2018,I bought 25ft Blue Jean ethernet cable for $35, perhaps you are mistaken. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Is there a cost effective 'quality' USB and Network cable? @lightfighter2018,Not too many BJC comments here, but computeraudiophile is full of them. cheers,Spencer | |
| Electrostatic Speakers @thehorn,If Sound Labs are too big, then electrostatics aren't a fit. Unless someone is willing to live without low frequencies. You need plenty of surface area to get LF from electrostatics. IMHE, compromises to reduce size (usually hybrids using... | |
| seeking vintage audio info Some tables from that era had autoplay and shutoff that looks at the tonearm movement and won't disengage until after reading the end of the LP and the arm auto-lifting. Be sure to play a side all the way through and see if it lifts on it's own. I... |
