| Streamer matching to system Upgrade the node. A linear power supply, fiber, and Ethernet cables will set you back maybe $300 to 400 and you’ll get sonic improvement that you’d pay thousands for if your not careful. Good luck. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC I highly recommend the bluos node. You can upgrade the power supply and add fiber making a hard to beat budget streamer. Good luck in your search. Remember you can spend a lot of money with little return, be careful! | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? I have Tannoy Churchill’s and use a McIntosh MC 500. MAC pairs well with Tannoy ss or tube. My two pennys….. | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m If you just base it on the length….1m is really short for a power cord, so there’s not much flexibility. I would go with a 2m just based on that. My 2 cents. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! I love this thread so I can get inspired to dig thru my music collection! Thank you to all. | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear Use a floor dolly. That’s what I’ve done with my 114lb McIntosh amp. Works great. | |
| Break In Failed You don’t have to be neurotic about it, just put them in your system, fire them up, and listen. Before you know it you’ll be rewarded with great sound as they progressively get better and better. Enjoy the hobby! | |
| Liquid Stylus Cleaners I use Last or stylast, with no problems. If your concerned about liquid use onzow the sticky pad. I had no problems with either. | |
| Cartridges You’ll probably get more out of the high end vinyl, with a better cartridge. | |
| Ethernet cables I would have never thought that they’d make a difference but yes they do! I use Wireworld starlight 8 s at the connection to my node and from my NAS to the network connection and love them. Highly recommended. | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender I use an orbi mesh network and love it. For audio, I use a direct connection from the router to my node, broken by a fiber connection, which has a huge impact on audio. As for the wifi, portion it’s rock solid, but all my other nodes connect to th... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System That’s what I love about this hobby….it’s about the synergy among components, the room, and your tastes. You don’t need a million dollars for it to sound great! | |
| DH Labs I’ve used their interconnect and power cord cable for diy projects with amazing results for the price. Good products! | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Also what I have heard and read, I agree with several in this post that It’s all about the “good” distortion that tubes produce. Pleasing to the ear. | |
| Nobosound Springs I use them under a vintage AR XA I restored, they seem to do a nice job. I’ve experimented with the number of springs for each foot, but settled on all of them. Seems to be more stable laterally. |
