| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I have not had any issues with my BlueSound Node 2 dropping out, or any of my other streaming devices (Roku, Oppo, Marantz, etc.) since I upgraded my router a little over a year ago. I spent about $200 on the router and that fixed a lot of issues... | |
| Vinyl Sleeves and Jackets I put the vinyl in a poly lined sleeve, then place the vinyl outside of and behind the cover with the outer sleeve and vinyl in a 3 mil poly sleeve. This eliminates having to slide the record in and out of the outer sleeve and (my thoughts at lea... | |
| Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range. When I saw the title of your post I was going to suggest you save yourself a little money and get a Hana SL. I have one and am very pleased with it. It comes really close to the $2,000 Van Den Hul MC Two I have on my main turntable. I love my H... | |

First of all, I have not heard the Primaluna phono stage, so can't say whether an external stage would be "better", however this is from Primaluna's web site:"Built in phonostages are “throw in” and are rarely good quality because manufacturers a... | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless If you can't run a wire to the Nodes, here are a few things to look at:- A better router- A wireless repeater and/or Wireless Access Point- Does your cable modem also have a wireless router? If so, you might try turning it off. If the devices co... | |
| Advice needed: am I going in the right direction? That amp has multiple RCA inputs. You run a USB cable from your computer to a DAC. The DAC will have RCA outs that you can connect to one of the RCA inputs. You don't need digital inputs on the amp. Not complicated at all. I don't have any re... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw My MOFI copy of Abandoned Luncheonette that I purchased from Discogs was advertised as "NM-", but didn't quite live up to that. It does sound really good for the most part, just not as clean and quiet as the "new" one I picked up yesterday.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette. I've bought a few copies of this including MOFI and a "hot stamper". I finally found one that sounds really clean, almost like new, for $5 today. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw The vinyl itself had a little bit of noise but overall I thought it sounded great. One of the things that caught my attention was the production quality. I'm not sure I have the words to describe it, but it reminded me of older classic ro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I picked up a nice used copy of Jack White's Blunderbuss and listened to that last night. I think that might be my favorite record of his. |
