| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable Repeating myself. How does putting modem and router close to audio system pollute if wifi disabled? Does a long ethernet cable connected to a switch or streamer magically reduce this noise? Now I'll agree the most optimal solution is likely a... | |
| Tannoy or Volti @charles007100 I tend to hold on to components I like, I like to change out amps and dacs from time to time. | |
| Tannoy or Volti Horn and SET lovers have to admit this presentation may not be for everyone. I believe its general presentation vs what any one individual speaker or system may or may not do. Any particular horn speaker may have unique tonality, timbre, imaging,... | |
| Attention Horn Owners SET and horn lovers have to admit this presentation may not be for everyone. Generally speaking, this is a performers in room presentation, very immediate, up front, sort of like first few rows at concert. Some find this too up front, in your face... | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable So, two schools of thought in regard to whether networks impact sound quality for audiophile streaming. Not here to argue this, non believers can go on using wifi. So, generally we find the following in many audiophile streaming setups, modem and ... | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable If wifi enabled router will leak rfi into closely situated equipment. If you disable wifi it's really no noisier than other digital equipment, hard drives and transformers will leak more rifi than a router with wifi disabled. I have trifield meter... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... Obviously the room, although it needs slightly unique solutions for open baffle speakers. I ran various models of open baffle Alon's for years, and I previously owned PL I can't recall if it was you or someone else, in any case there is recent thr... | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. The only reason I persist in using Craigslist and Facebook is eventually there is usually a successful transaction, just resigned to having to deal with the professional scammers. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @polkalover Dystopian futures sometimes enter my mind, I do see some of this coming to pass, perhaps all the golden ages may be in the past. Mindless drones aka technicolor rats aka people. Doesn't take much to satisfy the people if you set expect... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? I can relate to or understand every experience and/or perspective presented thus far in this thread. Is it difficult, is it easy? Its all of the above, you just have to experience it for yourself, I think this 'hobby' is more a journey than some s... | |
| Attention Horn Owners From reading everything here, if it were me. I'd first try the sub route with present AN. If that didn't work I'd listen to Volti's, (and listening anytime is great idea) with your present amp and pre, try to demo in your listening room. Other hor... | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. I too have heard about bad things with Zelle and some of these other bank to bank transfers, wire transfers are safest. Cash is king, counterfeit bills, carrying a lot of cash could be issues. Can't believe people aren't mentioning issues dealing ... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? When i envision cool its always 50's jazz artists that first come to mind, Thelonius Monk is the epitome of cool for me. Walking around on stage, humming, and that unique, sort of disjointed piano style, and the hip clothing, one suave dude! And I... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? I actually lived in Ann Arbor, we used to take the City bus which came right through our neighborhood to UM campus. We were like 12 when we first started this so I was pretty young during 'summer of love'. So many legendary bands based in A2 and t... | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKI tweaks Sp9 Mk III was probably the most disappointing component i've purchased over many decades in audio. This hybrid pre sorely lacks resolution, transparency, in this case absolutely true, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Other than try... |
