| Critique my media server setup! The Oppo Sonica ($800) might work. Just verify the UMS compatibility. Also, note that the Sonica does not currently support gapless playback from all sources.Another idea would be the Bluesound Node2 ($500), provided it can work with UMS servers. | |
| Melco N1A Music Server I have a Vortexbox appliance, a pretty cheap and cheerful server with an internal HD, 1 TB. Well, it died. The manufacturer (Small Green Computer) basically sold me a new one with a big discount (my original unit was out of warranty). Fortunate... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Ohm Walsh 2000. Golden Ear (any model in your budget). Both are what I would call "different". | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers At the Ohm prices, I doubt it. The drivers in the x000 line are fairly standard woofer/midrange drivers. I was once told that mine (Walsh 2000) were aluminum, but they sure don't sound like aluminum drivers. John Strohbeen of Ohm does not use c... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation Vandersteen 2Wq - if you can accommodate its unique connection requirements. I own two and absolutely love them. | |
| Any experience with Ohm Walsh Super Sound Cylinders? I have had the 2000s since the fall of 2009 - one of the earlier production pairs. I have a full review posted in the review section, and have been active in the big Ohm thread - https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ohm-walsh-micro-talls-who-s-... | |
| Review of Legacy Audio Signature SE and dealer Audio Doctor The Legacy Aeris is a real dream speaker for me (winning the Lottery would do the trick). Really sounded great at an audio show. | |
| Sherwood Newcastle P965 PreAmp Processor - No Audio Problem I used to have this pre-pro. Have you reached out to Sherwood? They were very helpful whenever I needed help. Perhaps this is a software glitch that can be fixed with an update. | |
| Need Power Amp advice I second the Odyssey Audio Khartago amp suggestion. You get an in-home trial period, so you only have the shipping charges to lose. I have been using an Odyssey HT3 for ~11 years now. Love it. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service Thanks again, 2psyop. I use the SBT with a DAC, a highly modded Beresford called the Superberry by K-Works, a local modder. It sounds very good, but my original SBT died, while Logitec still supported it, so they sent me a new one. I know that won... | |
| Best one step liquid record cleaner.??? I use the Audio Intelligent #6 One Step as well, and have for years. I can't compare to anything else, but it certainly seems to work well for me. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Yes, enginedr1960, as long as you use an Apple computer (I do not). Are the track tagging and click &pop removal automated, or manual? | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Just an update - The SweetVinyl folks have made some hardware revisions (including the ability to adjust recording level and balance via the app - yes!), so the release has been delayed. I would rather they get it right than I get it right now, so... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service Thanks, 2psyop! That's exactly what I needed to know. If my Squeezebox craps out (or if I just get tired of waiting until I can buy a DAC that goes higher res than 96/24), the Node2 looks like just the ticket. I have heard it front very expensi... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service Thanks for the post, 2psyop. Quick question - is the Node 2 capable of gapless playback? TIA. |
