| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? Go back to 1983. "Would it be crazy to buy another high end turntable my Garrard just died? CDs will be taking over anyway". Well album spinning is still going on and turntables are as popular as ever to the young and the old alike.I don't think C... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Many people don’t care about sound systems that try to sound like live music. Many more younger people (Ipod generation) care even less about this. This is compounded by the fact the vast majority of speakers do not sound like live music.I think a... | |

| Replace Dell Laptop with Streamer? Which one? I have a Bluesound Node 2 and I am very pleased with the functionality, flexibility and tremendous sound. Another important consideration for me was service and support. I have had to use the forum (online support) and telephone support for connec... | |
| Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo It has been mentioned here that many of the responses to the OP have not paid attention to the budget of $200. I, myself, admit to this error. But one must include the hardware cost of a computer. Like many of the newer (changing) technology with ... | |
| integrated amp recommendation needed I think the OP has made his choice already. But yes...Freddukedavis let us know how the Plinius sounds with your speakers! | |
| integrated amp recommendation needed For those suggesting Yamaha (a very decent choice and match for your speakers) look at audiocircle.com. There is a A-S801 for a great price. Don't know what kind of transformer or caps, but I am sure it will sound fine. | |
| integrated amp recommendation needed There is a Plinius 8100 integrated amp here on audiogon. Looks very sweet for $650. Get a nice power cord and good speaker cables and I bet you would be in sonic heaven. There are also some sweet tube amps there too....Cayin, Jolida and Eastern El... | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs Dan D'Agostina, Vinnie Rossi, Jeff Rowland | |
| SS Hard Drive with Bluesound Node 2 No difference I can tell at all. In fact I think the Bluesound’s DAC is great. It is as good as my Schiit Bifrost Uber and neck and neck with my Benchmark DAC! To my ears.... the MQA files offered via the Tidal stream sound better than any other f... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's There is a nice McCormack DNA 0.5 amp on audiocircle.com. Very sweet buy and perfect for what you are looking for, if you have not found an amp yet. A great asking price, but I don't think it will be there long... | |
| SS Hard Drive with Bluesound Node 2 I don’t know if my setup would be of interest to you, but I will share it nonetheless. I have a BS Node 2, and have a very, very large library of music on two external drives. One is a Toshiba small USB mechanical HDD and the other is an Iomega US... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini Dogmcd,Glad you found something you like! You are correct, the equipment on offer today is much better than the SBT. I had one too and would find it hard to go back since so much has changed. I was the first one to be surprised at the resurgence o... | |
| power It was explained to me this way many years ago and I always reflect. My previous understanding was that amplifiers provide power to the speaker to use. It was best to get an amp that could match the power rating of the speaker. Now I think that th... | |
| What's needed to Steam Tidal I will agree with stfoth...the Bluesound into the Ayre would sound tremendous. I am a fan of Benchmark DACs (DAC3 HGC) and Schiit (Yggdrasil), so I would try those brands. And yes I agree, the Bluesound blows away the MacBook Pro. That is why I lu... |
