| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? @johnspainI can relate, but I tried out the X45 and found it very interesting. I did not like the fit and finish too much, but did like main features - a biggie for me is simple access to “network shares” vs a requirement for a UPNP server runnin... | |
| Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502 Most modern gear has compatible levels for pre-out and main-in. However, I had a dentist client that just bought a whole stack of Mac with Klipsch speakers. The speakers were quite efficient, not to mention the characteristics of horns. And since ... | |
| Sub placement So much to discuss regarding subs…technically (if your crossover is set correctly), the ear has no real ability to determine where the bass is coming from. However, that is over-simplistic. Best to allow the longer, low frequency wave have the lon... | |
| Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se A21+ gets my vote here. | |
| Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used Monitor Audio Silver 300 - $2200/pair and lessClean design, nice tech, bi-wire/bi-amp reedy. A lot to great reviews. | |
| FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's Many sellers that offer free shipping are using FedEx Home Delivery. This is FedEx sort of, but the routes and their drivers are independent contractors. I had things track as in town, and even on the truck for delivery, but the driver was overwhe... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute Deezer is interesting. It’s all HQ… I signed up for their 3 month free trial, but was billed immediately for the regular price. It took several “support” emails to figure that out. | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! @chayro exactly. I’m relatively new here, but doing decent audio/gear since ‘77…we all need to respect where people are in their journey - audio or life 🙏🏼❤️ | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? My DAC experience thus far is always with combinations of BluRay, Pre, and streamer. DAC implementations vary quite a bit. As many did, I started streaming with a Bluesound Node, then streamed with it to a DAC in my preamp - a noticeable improveme... | |
| How long can preamp tubes last? @oldhvymec. Yeah I like the Rock Tubes, even if they do sound a little hard 😎 | |
| Best sub for music, Rel. The T/x series. Various ways to connect, clean and punchy. | |
| Phono cartridge torque wrench Milwaukee power tools makes a very nice impact wrench, and with enough adapters one could apply this to phone a cartridge mounting. | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with @cat_doormanTake a look at Cocktail Audio. They have from good basic to units that allow two drives (3.5” or 2.5”) that can be arranged as RAID-0 or RAID-1. And it can be a server for such storage. The one I looked at had CD Ripping also. I picke... | |
| It was working before I took it apart Yeah, my RB330 came with the cuing platform a little low - stylus would not totally clear the record when raised. Tiny hex set screw, raised it a tiny amount - all fixed. | |
| Need emergency help please! Dude! Wrong forum… but since you are here, you need to unpaid (forget on some divides), and then re-pair. PS maybe just enjoy the ride without distractions? ($0.05 worth) |
