Stuck at home? Make a kit!!
Building kits is fun. If I were not baby sitting my grand kids I would be building a new pair of sub woofers. 
Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback?
I researched this on my Mac mini and found that the file transfer speeds were significantly faster with the NAS versus the USB drive. I believe theĀ Aurender N100 only provides USB 2.0 data ports. This provides 480 Mbit/s versus the Gigabit Etherne... 
Vinyl Users - Best/Favorite room air cleaner
In my basement i use a cheap box fan with a 3M Filtrete 2200 furnace filter duck taped to the back of the fan. The fan runs 24/7 except when listening to music. It makes a big difference.  
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
A little off topic: I bought a Korg MR-2000S studio recorder to digitize my vinyl collection. I made several test recording all PCM 24 bit: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz. I then compared the recordings to the original vinyl and each other.... 
It was 50 years ago today...
I was in high school at that time. After reading the initial post I listened to my original abbey road record. Its a very good record. 
Wilson Watt Puppy 7
I use Cary 805Cs with my wilson watt puppy 7s. My listening chair is 7 feet from the speakers and I listen at 70 to 80 db volumes(Rock and folk music). I have no problem with the Carys low power and the combination can also fill the house with won...

Conrad johnson 16ls owners
An audiophile friend listening to my system did describe the 16 as having a golden color. I find the premier 16 to have a warmer fuller sound than the ET5. While the ET5 provides more detail or nuances to the music. An additional item to consider ... 
Conrad johnson 16ls owners
I am a big fan of CJ having owned Prem 14, Prem 16, and currently own the Prem 15 and ET 5. The 16 is an order of magnitude better than the 14. While the 16 and ET 5 have different presentations, both are great to my ears. While owning the Premier...

80 to 85 db is cranking it for meThe following is my understanding about sound and power2 speakers increases the sensitivity by 3db so (sourced from enjoy the music dot com)1 87 db speaker will produce 87 db of sound at 1 meter with 1 watt of pow... 
Capital Audio Fest 2016
I agree with the quality of the sound. One of the things I found interesting was the relatively inexpensive speakers matched with relatively expensive electronics and how good the combination sounded. 
Conrad Act2 serie2 or ET5 wich would you buy
I currently own an ET5 which replaced a Premier 16 which replaced a Premier 14. You will experience a significant improvement is bass response and detail retrieval when going from a 14 to the ET5.The ET5 will handle long interconnects better than ... 
Premier 16LS & ET5
I upgraded from a 16ls series 1 to an ET5. Both are nice preamps but I prefer the ET5 the sound is a little cleaner. 
CJ preamp upgrade suggestions
I upgraded from a 16 series 1 to ET5. I enjoyed both and could happily live with either one. With the ET5 you will get a more dynamic and better defined sound stage. It is a little dryer sounding than the 16. One big advantage to ET5 is that it on...
