| Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i Thanks jl35. As far as I can see in advanced settings, Sonos just has an audio compression setting which I have set to uncompressed. Tidal account is HiFi.Perhaps a re-clocker like the W4S Remedy between my Sonos Connect and my Dac would help.And... | |
| Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i Thanks for the reply’s.Jond, so I have been able to share a Tidal account with a friend from time to time. The Sonos controller on my iPad makes it easy to select the same music from Tidal or Spotify. To be honest, I don’t hear the obvious impro... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... Inspected the inside of the amp tonight. The left channel speaker terminal had the polarity reversed. A simple 5 minute job with the soldering iron and it’s back in phase😊. Simple mistake, simple fix. I’m going to replace the blue power led to... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... PROBLEM SOLVED!!!If I reverse the polarity of either the left or right channel, the sound is beautiful! The bass is back, the voices and instruments are where they belong! I'll look under the hood later and look for a couple wires that are rever... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... Lowrider57, my music only system is just a two channel stereo. I have a HT system in the same room and made the reference to the rear surrounds, but only to help describe what I was hearing. But, I too thought I should try reversing polarity on ... | |

| Just a bit to bright Atmashpere, Onhwy61, Lowrider67 & Viridian.... Thank you for the comments and suggestions. Points well taken, I have quite a few things to experiment with before jumping into switching amps and preamps. Even though I did build my speakers I wo... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... In time, I will be trying an upgraded power cord.... I have to hear for myself. For now, I am really enjoying my NAD integrated amp! I'm glad I came here for guidance!By the way, just a side note: today is the great Ludwig Von Beethoven's birthday... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... This is really an interesting topic to me because as a rookie in the world of audiophiles, I'm like a sponge, trying to learn as much as I can. From a completely personal perspective, I've been a DIY type my entire life. ( I'm 51). So I've been ab... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... Sound advice Jeff.... Taking my time will also provide the best opportunity to strengthen the WAF :-)Thanks for all the help! | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... Vhiner,I may have to try that and I like the idea of waiting a few months, I should get to know the sound really well before making any changes. I'll be honest, as a newbie in the world of higher quality audio, I've been a bit skeptical about spen... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... Yesterday I received my NAD 326BEE and I didn't waste any time getting it set up and listening to some of my favorite music. I think I had a smile stuck on my face the entire time and almost giddy at times. I couldn't be happier with my investment... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Today I bought a NAD326BEE. I've looked at so many different systems, I was close to analysis paralysis! That's why I came here for guidance and I heard loud and clear to give NAD a try. I look forward to l... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... Thank you for your replies, since posting I've steered away from the Carver idea. I'll definitely explore some of the suggestions mentioned, I was thinking a preamp and amp wouldn't be doable for my budget so I'm excited to hear that it is. I thou... |
