| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Due to my room and cabinet I am restricted to using bookshelf speakers with 8 inch drivers. Adding a sub makes a more full sound. You also muddy the midrange if you are asking your speakers to play a 50hz tone along with a 1000hz tone | |
| Opinions On DACs Around 1,000$ If you need MQA in a DAC, that will limit your selection. Some streamers will do the unfold but the bluesound will not do a full unfold within that streamer. I don't know about other streamers. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? Bluesound with wired connection is fantastic. | |

| Streaming 102 The streamers job is to interface with the service in a robust way. Node2i is very stable and 0s and 1s are all the same really. Upgrading the DAC will make a big difference. Get a MQA DAC if you are interested in using Tidal | |

| Changing 100uf cap I can't imagine that speaker crossover capacitors would degrade much. How old are these? Are any showing leakage? I would suggest having them tested prior to replacing them. In electronic components, the power supply capacitors are the mos... | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier Place rocks on your components | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned The mistake that they made was post it here. Just keep your happiness to yourself. | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Why would you want to use a computer to control your music? Too bulky. Just buy a streamer and control it with your phone. Much smarter. |
