| KEF LS50 Wireless stands? Thanks for the reply,Those look nice. I’m actually thinking about building my own now. Maybe 26-27"h with a 12" x 12" top and base all in wood? I’m thinking 3-4" legs? That should be stable. Any acoustic advantage to one wood over another? These w... | |
| Where to put one's best power cords?? What’s everyone’s experience with changing the power cord on a Node 2? | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised Man, this thread is killing me and possibly my wallet. I’ve always been a fan of the Fortes going back to the 80s. I’m debating swapping out my early 90s KEF Reference 2s for a pair. My family room setup is modest:-Yamaha AVR1060 (as preamp and fo... | |
| Good USB drive for Node 2? Thanks, I actually have that one. It does get a little warm though. Will I see any benefit for music with USB 3.1 if I go a different route? | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable Great thread and I need a base too. Anybody have any opinions on the maple vs walnut? I can get an edge cut piece of 1.5" thick walnut for about the same price as an edge cut piece of 3" maple.I'm also looking at marble and granite. Any preference... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Thanks again,I'm not trying to be cheap but I only have $275 into the turntable so I don't want to over do it. I'm sure there's point of diminishing gains for the the Pro-Ject and what it's capable of. I'm thinking $100 max on this platform. I c... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Thanks again for the excellent replies everyone,I’ve been looking at maple blocks on Amazon including the Butcher Block Acoustics one mentioned. Prices seem reasonable and I already have some spikes. What is too thin for the block to be effective ... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Thanks Steve,I'm digging this Mapleshade unfinished block:https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/18-x-15-x-2-Ready-To-Be-Finished-Maple-Platform/productinfo/18X15X2...Would this be a good combo with the Herbie's Tenderfoots or would the granite/spikes r... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Awesome advice @noromance. Thanks again to you and everyone else. I'll post what I end up with. | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Thanks noromance,I don’t see me having a footfall problem as the main floor we walk on is concrete. This is a raised shelf/ledge that was built into the wall when the house was built. So go spikes over the Herbie’s Tenderfoots? I could get a hold ... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Thanks for the excellent replies everyone,First of all, sorry but what are foot falls? I like the idea of the Herbie’s Tenderfoots. Is there any way I can do this a little more low profile such as just using one piece of birch? I like that idea wi... | |
| Advice for killer desktop speakers I'm digging my KEF LS50 Wireless on my man caves desk. | |
| streamers under $1500 Anybody try the DH Labs Silver Sonic Air Matrix RCA with the Node 2? I just picked up a used one and will be adding it to a Kimber D60 coax connection too. I can get a full MQA unfold via analog and go digital for other content. I also have a Kimb... | |
| streamers under $1500 I'd say the Node 2. I went back and forth between it and the Aries Mini and chose the Node 2 for my needs. | |
| Node 2 digital and analog out? Thanks for the reply. I thought if I went digital, I lose MQA unfolding as my AVR's DACs won't do it?1extreme, so the MQA won't be disabled when I have a digital coax connection with my analog connection? |
