| Downloads Versus Streaming Is it worth it though to spend say, $3,600 on a streamer rather than buying CD’s and downloads? The thing about digital components is that we are in a digital renaissance and the streamer of today, will be half the cost ten years from now while ne... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Thanks to all for the suggestions. My thought was that I could purchase a better streamer as well as something like the ENO or Ether Regen. What doesn't make sense to me is why I would need a better streamer if it sounds good coming from my SSD, i... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk my SSD is in a box and connected to the PI via USB cable. I was thinking about a better USB from the SSD to the Pi but in a way, that makes no sense. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I'm happy with the Wireworld but I'm also using an ISO Regen with LP1 and that adds an improvement to my DAC from the comparisons that I've done with or without. I also have an XLR Akiko tuning stick in the DAC and I am happy with that. M... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @kota1 I'm using something like the eau2. Which piece did you buy? | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk Yes, I have a Linear Power Supply attached to my Pi. I do not have Ethernet filters. I’m using a Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable from the Pi to my DAC. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Not sure why CD’s would be preferable to a download unless that person had a disc spinner. | |

| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @lewm It is vexing. The idea of the best cartridge is somewhat abstract give that most people haven’t heard all of the manufactured cartridges past or present. Even among let’s say, forty of the best reviewed cartridges of all time, I doubt most v... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @lewm My point was to discuss cartridges rather than argue about whether digital is superior to vinyl. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I believe Sony once made a cartridge with a diamond cantilever. The cantilever and the stylus might have actually been one continuous piece. Maybe someone could confirm this? | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I agree with OP’s comments regarding changes in the area of new technologies. If I were interested in a DAC, I would try to determine whether there’s a good chance that the maker will offer upgrades in the future. Especially if you end up spending... | |
| Doobie Brothers' drummer John Hartman dead at 72. I saw the Doobie Brothers on their Taking It To The Streets tour. I knew Michael Mc Donald from his work with Steely Dan as well as Jeff Baxter on guitar. I probably wouldn’t have gone but I had just won around $400.00 in a poker game so I bought ... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Wish I could hear that Atma-sphere amp, speakers too! Will look for PM, chilli'n. |
