| Move router far from hifi components? I keep my router in a room upstairs. It is very far from my audio system and I use wireless to access much digital music. I have a cd player and DAC when I listen to CDs. I have power strips (hospital grade) and low noise which are pretty far from... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound The best small speaker I have heard, at that price point, has to be the B&W PM-1. I heard a pair of these on stands and could not believe the accurate tonality, clarity, soundstage and low tight bass. I really thought I was listening to the bi... | |
| All in one solution for bedroom system. Suggestions from all appreciated. I would check out the Bluesound audio equipment. The amp is the Power Node 2 and would match great with your speakers. If you have a HDD with digital files you can play all those files too and stream music. If you have an extensive CD collection y... | |
| 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... |
