| How much better is direct BNC vs adapter The way I understand it - and Audioengr please correct me if needed - that a natively BNC terminated digital cable, 75ohm, with an adapter for RCA, is better than a natively RCA terminated cable, 50ohm, with an adapter for BNC connections. | |
| Getting close to giving up on CD's @mental - perhaps I need to make this more clear...yes, it does matter if you still have the CD after ripping it.Ripping a CD that you own, and then only playing it off some kind of hard drive, is perfectly legal and moral.It’s the selling of that... | |
| Getting close to giving up on CD's Musicians have brought me deep wells of pleasure over the years.If one buys a CD, rips that CD, and then sells that CD -- well, if you keep playing the music after you sell the disc, you are pirating the music. Oooh, "pirating" sounds almost roman... | |

| Absolute Sound - do we really need another review like this? As far as the cliche that product-based magazines, at least S'phile & TAS, only review items that have been advertised, here's at least one note in contrast:* While I've seen monthly ads from Chord Electronics in S'phile and, also I believe, T... | |
| Wife trouble My first wife was a singer-songwriter, and turned me on to Bill and Billie.My second (and current) wife loves listening to music, so our living room is the main music room. But she's also an architect and designer, so we had to get speakers that a... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars @jmcgrogan2 "That said, the one that does intrigue me the most is the DeVore Gibbon X."Exactly my thoughts. Likely because we have their little brother, the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 88s, in our living room. And they give up a wide rich compelling so... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? @ randy-11 "Golden Retriever slobber will work wonders..."It would seem, from that comment, that you have little to no experience with Golden Retrievers. I say that for two key reasons:* Goldens do not tend to "slobber"* Goldens are friendly to al... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? @douglas_schroeder "...the only cheap tweak I still use consistently is placement of hockey pucks under speakers and subwoofers..."My understanding is that particular tweak is effective only with music from Canadian artists. However, there are so ... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Last year I did an expensive experiment, and owned the Chord Dave, Bricasti M1, and Berkeley Ref Series 1 at the same time. With multiple outputs from my Aurender N10 and multiple inputs on my Luxman integrated amp, I was able to do various tests ... | |
| Ask for help choosing music streamer Yes again. Aurender N100H. | |
| Aurender A-10 I have the Aurender N10 and the N100H. I've been delighted by both -- for sound quality and for user interface -- so that's my bias.So I'd guess the A10 is great too. I believe it has a more sophisticated power supply than the N100H, too. However,... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. sbank: "One of the benefits is getting a full PC or Mac computer and its associated noise out of the listening room and galvanically isolated from the dac."Yes, with microRendu, the computer as server or the NAS, whichever you choose, does not nee... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. But yes, the microRendu is a great little digital music gizmo. | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. You do not need a NAS drive for the microRendu.Instead you can just use any computer on your home network running one of the microRendu compatible servers, such as LMS (Logitech Media Server) or MinimServer - both of which are free.
