| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? +1 eric_squiresNot sure why people are so juvenile and petty. Be positive, find other things in your life you enjoy if you think tube amps are ugly... | |
| TIDAL-Who knows what you are hearing? Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It’s really easy. By the steps..1. Try the service.2. If you like it, keep it.3. If you don’t like it, don’t keep it.Why make the choice difficult? | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? dbphd"2psyop, I doubt the Ayre Codex unfolds MQA. Neither my QX-5/20 nor DX-5 DSD do. They both show MQA from Roon as 96 kHz, with Roon doing the first unfolding. Charles Hansen was an MQA skeptic."Well good to know, guess I had not checked i... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Wow. I have heard these are truly great speakers. Great choice. Don’t they come with some kind of room EQ device? I am sure you will really like them... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Audiotroy- yeah that is good advice. Also, tricky how you offer great advice on the forum and can slide in a sales pitch for business. Arrogant, but I am sure you get a bite from time to time. Maybe you could pitch your customer service and terms ... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... Here is another tip to consider. Although many people find savings by buying speakers online, I find that a dealer can often help you, and offer much better customer service, especially with speakers. The additional cost is money well spent, if th... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... While you are waiting for other suggestions I think brian27b has given great advice. You could find another dealer in Nashua that carries the ML speakers and set up two listening sessions on the same day. One for the KEF and another for the ML. Ju... | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? Mahler123.No it does not. When I use it with non-MQA files I think it sounds better than the internal Node 2 DAC. When I play MQA files with the Node 2 (via Tidal) I think the Node 2 edges out the older Benchmark playing the non-MQA files. I reall... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... I can give you one bit of advice out of the gate. Take the time and effort to find a dealer and listen to both speakers. Have a plan, a list of your must have, wanna have characteristics and bring your own music. If you fail to plan, your plan to ... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing The OP has many choices at many price points, that is always a good thing. One person mentioned using a Mac mini as a simple solution. I am not knocking any audio setup, but I think it ironic because I moved away from a computer (multi-functional ... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Whenever I unpacked speakers from their original boxes if there was no instructions I would unpack them in a high ceiling room. By placing the boxed speaker upside down and undoing the flaps on the bottom and removing foam. The speaker is now stan... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Something worth mentioning if you are going with the Bluesound ecosystem. The Vault is a better option if you want to digitize a CD collection AND stream music. When I bought the Node 2 I had many CDs ripped with ITunes which created file folders ... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Another vote for Node 2. The newest version is the Node2i. If you get a Bluesound and stream Tidal and the MQA albums, you might be surprised at the quality of sound. Auralic, Lumin and Innuous have some high quality offerings but I have found NAD... | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? I have the Benchmark USB DAC1 with the Bluesound Node 2. The pair sound very good, but surprisingly not that much better than the internal Bluesound Node 2 dac. When I switch to about 8 out of 10 MQA albums, the Node 2 sounds the best by itself. | |
| Beware the audio guru An ironic outcome of this thread, it has revealed many of the audio gurus we are to be aware of?!?!Are they genuine audio gurus, potential audio gurus, wannabe audio gurus or just delusional, arrogant blowhards? |
