| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! I'm not sure how legit this is, but it says that the fifth method is an alligator clip (#2). | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @bdp24 Adding a sub or two to almost any planar will result in improvements in a couple of ways. Most importantly, relieved of reproducing bass, the Maggie "woofers" will now reproduce the midrange in a noticeably improved manner. The speaker w... | |

| Is there an affordable all in one Flac burning appliance? I'm confused. Are you trying to burn CDRs or perform DAE (digital audio extraction) from CDs? | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. the Node is good enough to discover new artist via streaming. do i want to pay thousands for something like an Aruender? nope. i can get just as good sound quality by purchasing and downloading the same lossless file from Presto if i really re... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners @reubent I use the recipe shown here with success. I then do two rinses with a vacuum machine. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack I certainly WOULD give it a try but I need WiFi connection and have a perfect 800mb connection. Lumin, aurender, auralic all require direct Ethernet and that would be a pain as I have a 120 yo home with thick brick walls. can aur... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack and can’t imagine a much cleaner result. I think that's a common reaction to new upgrades, but the fact of the matter is that there's always something better. I considered an LPS for my Node but ended up getting a different streame... | |
| Audiophile Switch with Clock? In other words - please ignore the sane voices in the hobby! In other words, please ignore the people who are not speaking from actual experience. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup Thanks, @lalitk. I appreciate your and everyone else's advice! The power cord on the Aurender in an AQ NRG-Y3 and the one on the DAC is a factory-style one, albeit very beefy. I have a few Oyaide Black Mambas that I can try on any of the compo... | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded Totally stock. I did a little tube rolling years ago, but didn't hear much of a difference. My system wasn't very resolving or fine tuned back then, though. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bh123 - Great post. I had a similar experience going from a Node 2 to a N100SC. | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded @jafant I have one in my rack but haven’t used it in years since streaming is so good and easy. | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique @baylinor & @mijostyn It seems tilted to the left a bit. No. The stylus is not perfectly perpendicular to the record. It is slightly tilted to the left side of the photo. Correct. That is what I see and why I started this thread. I ... | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique The stylus is on a reflective surface, not a record. I'm not sure that having it on a record would add any value, would it? If anything, it would eliminate the reflection which would be a worse way of looking at it. Is it even possible to see t... |
