Streamers rabbit hole
@soix -  Hard to argue with your suggestion.  I try hard to make good moves and avoid mistakes and having to sell gear....but, I'm afraid you're right that I simply won't know for myself until I do that.   The new Innuos streamers are surprisingl... 
Streamers rabbit hole
@ghdprentice- Thanks for responding.  I see you have a nice system, and you must have run your Node through the DAC and Preamp.  Did you also have the Teddy Pardo LPS mod? Many folks here praise the Aurender, Lumin and sometimes Innuos.  I had in... 
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
Thanks for your comments, snowdog57.  Your experience and thoughts are similar to mine, although I am using the Weiss 501 (chip) DAC.  I am old enough to embrace the "You don't know, until you know" mindset.  And it just leaves me to wonder, same ... 
Streamers rabbit hole
Question for knownothing and anyone else who has actual experience with this.  I am one of those who really is impressed with the sound coming from my Bluesound Node N130 with the Teddy Pardo LPS.  I added a power cable from Triode Wire Labs, and ... 
Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch
Seeking additional feedback on this upgrade to the Mk2 version. I recently bought the original 501, and it's really good in my system.    Celtic66- I think you offered good details of your positive impressions you heard in the Mk2 upgrade, enough... 
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
paulcreed- I cannot determine, but you may have missed the point here?  Soix gets it, and he is right on the money.  I presume you are trying to help, but I don’t see your system listed, and I can’t tell how you arrived at your conclusion, or how ... 
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
soix- Thanks again for the tips.  I will see what I can do and report back. If anyone else has such experience, I welcome your comments.  
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
soix- Thanks for the suggestion.  I read diligently about benefits of doing as you indicate, and I 'thought' I understood that pretty much across the board, wireless was sonically equivalent to the best wired connection.   Glad to know otherwise. ... 
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
I’m chiming in late to this 10-month old thread and offering my experience here in hopes of helping anyone else considering an LPS upgrade to his Node. I’ve owned my Node N130 for two years and mostly used it for streaming background music, leavi... 
Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply
Thanks, Jerry.  My wireless setup is a bit different than yours, but I understand your points re: separate LPS units and cumulative gains.  I will continue down the road you and SNS have helped clarify and see where it takes me.  I'm travelling so... 
Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply
Many thanks, Jerry, for the specific tips.  I think I will need a variety of BR and  AUVA EQ to swap around for a proper evaluation.  My amplifier's legs sit higher than the thickness of the BR Big Pads+, which I suppose means I will need to stack... 
Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply
Thanks for the response, SNS.  Yes, I was asking you and Jerry, as you have been gracious with your advice.  And I appreciate your explanation of all the variables in your system/room.  I was drawn to the Black Ravioli and Stack AUVA products due ... 
Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply
I've been researching and thinking about your comments re: isolation in my system (after 40 years- ha!).  Based on your experiences, can you tell me if this is a good path for starters?  I am thinking tiny, microphonic vibrations might better be h... 
Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply
Thanks Jerry & Thompson.  This is a bit cartoonish to me, as my Node was about $450, as I recall.  Now, with the Teddy Pardo LPS and Triode Wire Labs power cable, I am waaaay upside down on this thing.  It really doesn't bother me too much, bu...
