| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? I have many cds and have been buying them since 1984 since about the time Sony and Phillips introduced the first players. I have always liked red book cds. I have two cd players, an older Sony ES model and a Rega Apollo. With both, I can update ex... | |
| CD players = dead? I think many people had thought (myself included) that turntables were obsolete when CDs and players came out. I bought an early Phillips unit around 1984 in Germany. But CD players kept improving as record albums became more scarce. Nowadays many... | |
| Best "RedBook" player out there Another option: Get a Bluesound Vault 2. You can rip ALL your cds to FLAC files. Also have the ability to stream hirez files. I think Tidal, Spotify and other sites will be offering better and better digital sound files such as MQA. With this opti... | |
| Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1 Earthtones- Hey just enjoy the Node 2 as it sounds now. Most analog fans would be astounding if digital sounded as good as their higher priced turntable, cartridge and tonearm. Like you said, for $500 (I have the Node 2 as well) and high quality h... | |
| Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer I am using a Western Digital MyCloud 3TB HDD which contains some 14K songs ripped with Itunes from my own CDs. I have a Western Digital Passport HDD as a backup. The Bluesound Node 2 finds the MyCloud database just fine. This setup works much bett... | |
| Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1 If you plan on having access to your own digital database of music you should know that the Bluesound Node 2 has it’s own tagging system for playback and album art. For instance, I own a Bluesound Node 2 and I wanted to be able to play a very larg... | |
| Bryston VS Odyssey That is a good question....but in my opinion, there are some important additional considerations. I had a Stratos amp, a Tempest preamp and a Candela preamp. All products developed low spurious noise and hum problems. After sending the products ba... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service Correction: On the question of a random track with the Node 2- Yes the top menu allows the user a "random song" choice. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service BTW I did not know the SBT had all that capability. It sounds as if you really squeezed all the great sound and flexibility that could be had!! Sounds like a great system and a huge library of music. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service One basic menu on the Node 2 allows one to chose a few different options such as all albums, all artists, all songs, or select the file folders on your HD.It is not as comprehensive as say, Itunes, because Itunes had many search functions. I spoke... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service bondmampHey I had a Squeezebox some time ago and I liked it..but I would say the Node 2 is far better. Much easier to control music with computer, ipad or smartphone. A really good dac and integration for an external dac. An integration with Roon,... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 and great customer service bondmanpAlthough I had not tried to configure the Node 2 to do gapless playback, I did not know if it would or not. Here is the "official word" from Bluesound below...Here at Bluesound, we are an alliance of audiophiles with the mission to create ... | |
| Music Streamer Quality I have had the Bluesound Node 2 for a few months now. I agree with the others, I really like it for the sound and flexibility. I can play Spotify, MQA files and even a very large library of digital files I have on hand. This player has a very good... | |
| Halo a-21 and p-5 I have the A21 and P3. I think Parasound makes great gear. The A21 is a killer amp. Lots of power, but not dual mono. | |
| Has anybody heard this newer brand of turntable? Shineola Runwell out of Detroit, MI USA? Thanks for the various comments. Also, wntrmute2 for the actual eye witness, ear witness account. I like the idea of a well built TT, out of Detroit MI. If I am to throw my money somewhere, I want quality and perhaps help grow a city back to some... |
