| Streamer vs. Cart upgrade (here we go again…) Yep time to invest in streaming. Vinyl has gotten ridiculously expensive. I only have about $3.5K invested in TT and stage and double that in streaming and it sounds as good or better than my vinyl set up. | |
| cartridge for Cart Anybody recognize this. It was on an old TT I had in storage that never got much use. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tfrzizumet24i2467ines/cart-Large.jpeg?rlkey=awv1wnkqvd2jj6pzm1hnmzppi&st=d6edfdlu&dl=0 | |
| cartridge for Cart Better yet, don’t lend out any rare or precious LPs to a (presumptive) teenager. Yeah none of my Mofi or 6 eye stuff will be making that trip. | |
| Qobuz Connect I think the streaming services figure it’s cheaper to have disgruntled customers than to attempt to support them This. | |
| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS What about one of the Mcintosh integrateds ? Especially if you are already satisfied with the brand. 2 amps that I tested in my current (Tube pre, class A/B amp) set up with 90 db sensitivity speakers where: Hegel. (but not sure about ph... | |
| Tube DAC with i2s input? While yes the Modwright is a better unit I fear a similar thing might happen? I would be shocked if the Modwright didnt out perform the Hagerman. I mean the power supply and the transformer alone are larger than the Hagerman (not that size alo... | |

| Just got a new power amp I had an s300. The longer it stays on and playing the better it sounds. | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? If you don't like the visual , Hit'm with a can of Shake'n Shoot | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? But I have a question for the forum, why not keep the Mac Mini as the Roon core and invest in a lower cost streamer that can act as a Roon endpoint? I tell me story ...again. I was streaming with a Bryston BDP-pi. Its just a Raspberry Pi im... | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. Also I just looked at the spec sheet on the LS50 Wireless II and it supports Bluetooth so no network required if the phone/pad is good enough as a streamer | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. SONOS pissed a bunch customers off ...twice and had to recover. Maybe they have but my buddy hates them over it all. When one of his Sonos units die’s he tosses it and finds another solution. I still have 2 old ZP90s that function as ROON end... | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? I ditched the Mini years ago and moved to an SGC i5 with Sonicorbiter OS to run the ROON core. Sounds way better than my Mini did. Wouldn't dream of going back. | |
| Options to improve digital sound Here is my SGC ST CPU with ROON Core streaming to 4 endpoints at once. SGC ST i5 CPU |
