| Moon 390 Network Streamer Glad to hear it | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge If the OP notices a significant increase in surface noise, pops/clicks, after changing the cartridge, then it doesn’t make sense that all of his vinyl would have suddenly deteriorated. He seems to have a decent phono pre amp. Perhaps there is ju... | |
| Moon 390 Network Streamer I think I saw a post on Reddit some time back that Moon was having some issues, but I’ve tried to dig it up and can’t. I think that one of their founders had passed and there might have been an issue about their future but I guess that it fortuna... | |
| Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo I sometimes listen to WFMT in analog but it just doesn’t compare with the digital feed at 320 bps. The analog feels like it has a hole in the motor the soundstage, even with the Magnum Dynalab tuner. I go to Detroit frequently and agree that W... | |
| Tune-In Stations With Great Sound Go for the stations with the highest bit rate. WFMT here in Chicago broadcasts at 320 bps and sounds a lot better than the analog feed. Somehow Radio Venice, at 128 bps, manages to sound excellent as well | |
| Moon 390 Network Streamer Is SIM Audio and Moon going to be in business much longer? Seems like I read a few months back that they were biting the dust. A Trump tariff won’t help their bottom line. Lots of great streamers out there. I would buy one from a company tha... | |

| Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro It sounds like you got it. AirPlay isn’t bad but you will get much better resolution by skipping it | |
| Turntable Quandry I’m with Yogiboy. I have a new 1200 and while I don’t have a vintage table to compare, I suspect there are a lot of improvements compared to 1979, not to mention the newer motor | |
| Streamer output options In the early days usb was significantly worse than other digital connections, but that issue was solved years ago. It was mainly due to the asynchronous nature of usb due to the fact that usb sends data in packets. Most DACs now reclining it. M... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? So go for it. You’ve self identified as one who places significant value on the aesthetics of vinyl, which renders sound quality issues as secondary | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? From a technical perspective the question here is does the amplifier have an internal analog to digital converter which takes the analog signal in the preamp stage and converts it to digital and outputs the digital signal. Amplifiers can have d... | |
| Sound quality of HD Radio vs CD vs Streamers?? Is HD Radio synonymous with Internet Radio? I had never heard the term prior to reading this thread. My Googling suggests that it is just a rebranding of Internet Radio which I have been listening to for years. Most Internet Radio stations br... |
