| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable Yes, that would be the cynical / conspiracy theory side. Reality is very different. That is not how manufactures think. It is simple to build something so expensive that no one will buy it. Each item must be carefully evaluated for what it sound... | |
| What A Drag It Is Getting Old Yes, I wish I couldn’t come up with a couple items like this a day. But I can. But on the other hand, I have lots of time to listen to music, read books, paint, and enjoy life... so there is that. And not being dead of course., | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs I'm pretty sure I used to have this issue with a Schiit DAC... and it was it being slow to respond to the signal to change resolutions... there was also a loud click. | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling Since you have CJ gear and therefore probably do not want to tip the tonal balance or make any change to the sound, I recommend Transparent. The highest tier you can afford. I have all Audio Research gear and use Transparent for all cables excep... | |
| Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen So what would be your long term investment level for a component. $1K ? $2K? $3K?... an integrated amp counts for two so 1/2 cost. There are large differences in streamer sound quality... but given sufficiently good and resolving other component... | |
| Listening in car If I want to listen in the car. I put Quboz on my phone and stream it. | |
| Sonus Faber Concertino? I think you can assume they are 25 years old… they were about $1K then + the center. Sonus Faber back then were very warm… and they are the bottom tier. on the other hand they cost virtually nothing. I guess make sure they are actually functional. | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost It sounded like Basis should rewrite their policies to be more friendly. But then I checked at what the price of a new Basis Inspiration would be if you could buy one... it said, $35K... if that is right? If so, then $3.5K is not unreasonable... 1... | |
| Mid Fi streaming question. OP ..."old age is rearing its ugly head and coupled with the meds". No problem, it happens. I thought yesterday was Tuesday, all day... left a restaurant before going in because it was open only Wednesday through Sunday. I was wondering why the ... | |
| Cable agnostic to convert (within budget) @sagur80 Sorry, going back, I guess I might have read your review too quickly. Just to make sure no-one is being mislead. You purchased a full loom of counterfeit Nordost Odin 2. And... are next going to purchase full loom of counterfeit Audio... | |
| Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical Photos would be super helpful. If you created a virtual system you could put photos of you current system and destination... that would really help us help you. | |
| Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen @soix +1 If you are close to the router... by all means connect to the main router. But make sure your audio system isn't too close to the router / modem or it will interfere with the system. For most folks the router is not close, and they can... | |
| Mid Fi streaming question. @baylinor +1 Improving the quality of the streamer is probably the single most significant item in the chain. You are getting the bits. A high quality steamer with significantly improve the sound quality. Small incremental improvements in infr... | |
| Listening in car I just googled it and the AI assembled this. To copy music from an Innuos Zenith to a USB drive, you’ll need to use the "Export" function within the Innuos Sense app. First, connect your USB drive to the Innuos device. Then, navigate to your mu... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Commitment isn’t only money. I slowly upgraded and collected albums for nearly 60 years. My commitment was to vinyl because there was no alternative. Then a few years ago I was able to upgrade my digital rig to sound as good or better than my viny... |
