| Pairing streamer @davegolf2424 My Aurender has to be hardwired. But it’s hardwired to a wireless router. That’s how my pad and phone can see it. I’m pretty sure yours should be the same. All the best. | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors @singere You might not need a power conditioner. I lived in the big city in a house built in 1955. It had some issues. I bought an Audience AR6 and most of the noise went away. I moved to a brand new house on what used to be a cow pasture on t... | |
| Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality? Aja, Steely Dan. Sara K. Waterfalls. | |
| Background vibration and your system. I have Isoacoustics on most of my equipment and speakers and those washing machine rubber isolators on my amps. Until now, I’ve never heard of Silent Running Audio, but maybe they have something for my eighty pound amplifiers. | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? I don’t know anyone who cranked up The Carpenters, I also don’t know anyone who hasn’t cranked up Pink Floyd. | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? I listen mostly at 70-80dbs at my listening position and every now and then I’ll crank it up to 90db peaks, but that’s rare.

| Freight Movers? @awooof I’ve used Estee twice with good results. I did pay extra for them to come to my home for the pickup, All the best. | |
| Need some advice: Found some Audio Equipment You can also look into FB Marketplace. If you use a little common sense, it is fairly easy and safe. | |
| Seeking a Tube preamplifier Have you ever considered getting a Hybrid preamp? I have an ARC, SP-9 MKll that has a SS input section and a tube output. (Old). I also have a PS Audio BHK preamp that has a tube input section and a SS output section. Just my two cents. | |
| Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio Haven’t bought from them, but I’ve talked with a member of their team. He seemed smart and friendly, not pushy at all. I liked that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Do you have an account at USaudiomart? I’ve bought some things there because I couldn’t find what I was looking for near me in Saint Louis. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Shopping for anything HiFi is getting harder and harder around me. The one dealer we have here sells some really nice stuff, really doesn’t have anything I’m interested in. So frustrating. I guess I’ll drown my sorrows with some Wynton Kelly, Ke... |
