| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I think Jim summed it up for me with respect to Bluesound VS Aurender . I still use my Vault in my second system. Still a great platform. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I went from a Blusound Vault 2i to an Aurender N200 ... not super expensive but considerably more money. Given that it is my most frequently used source , I have to say it was worth it to me. I got a great deal by leveraging another component towa... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS So many devices measure great. Some affordable ones even push the limits of the very equipment used to test them. Says a lot , but how does it sound???? If someone wants to put a system together entirely based on specs more power to them. ... | |

Aurender is incredibly wel... | |

| Needing DAC Advice That's like saying all blue cars suck.... much more to be gained with a class leading preamp. | |
| Needing DAC Advice The DAC is not the weak link…. You are quick to spend $3 k plus on a DAC when you already have a good one. Demo a really good preamp in home and you will see what I’m talking about. TMR has some great preamps that you can build a great system ar... | |
| Needing DAC Advice Get a really good active preamp. It’s the heart of a good system. I don’t think a DAC will exploit the rest of your system like a nice preamp. I’m talking a preamp that not a lateral move , far from it, something used that you otherwise could not ... | |
| Mutec Ref 10 Nano and MC 3 USB I bought a MC3+USB to convert USB to coax. It works great. I picked up a LHY OCK2 clock for cheap, at some point I'd like to try the Nano. I have my TV in it's TOS input and that probably was the most noticeable improvement. My CD transpo... | |
| Can you damage your speakers by plugging bass port vent? I have had more than one pair of speakers arrive from the factory with foam port plugs. It will not hurt the speakers , it will be fine. May not sound that great but will not hurt them. | |
