| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? I’ve also been very happy with my McIntosh MC500 plugged into my Shunyata Triton/Typhon Combo. I’ve never had any issues. | |
| Streamer only @randalljkrebs1 Never had a problem with mine. I’ve had more problems with BlueSound Nodes and I’m not knocked them. I don’t think you can beat the ifi streamer at that price point. Just my opinion and I have an Esoteric Network player in my main ... | |
| Streamer only ifi makes a streamer that is in the $300 range that’s excellent, and will give you enough of a savings to purchase a nice ethernet cable and or usb cable to round out a really high performing unit for very little money. I have one mated with their... | |
| Turntable advice VPI, they are well make, upgrade able, and sound fantastic. Also made in America. Great turntables. | |
| eBay I haven’t had any problems with eBay and I’ve sold and purchased quite a bit. They charge their commission and my state sales tax. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. It’s mind boggling that they can expose your items to a huge audience of buyers ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Oh no…. | |
| Koetsu Being an owner of a Koetsu Rosewood Signature, I’m very, very sad to hear this and hoping it wasnt true. Thanks. | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal @soix Thanks, although I didn’t get this email I did receive one when they had an outage a couple of weeks back where other didn’t. Who knows. I still enjoy the service though! | |

| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @jasonbourne71 That shows you what the mark-UP is on these components! | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations Another option might be to trick out the node with a linear power supply and add a fiber connection (ie transmitter and receiver) right before the ethernet connection to the node. All of this may cost around $250 so it’s a cheap upgrade. | |
| Cd player The two best in my opinion (if funds will allow) are 1) Esoteric or 2) McIntosh. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Well, I have Tannoy Churchill’s and when I added the ST-200 SuperTweeters it took them to another level not only in definition and soundstage but surprisingly in bass. So I’d recommend putting that on your $5k list. I think they make a model that ... | |
| At what point do you... I seek out all the bargains that I can in this hobby, demo, open box, used etc! | |
| Ethernet cables They absolutely make a difference and the ones that I have had the best results with are Wireworld, especially the red starlitght 8 and my reference the Platinum (my favorite). The build quality is second to none and believe it or not (and I wasn’... |
