| 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... | |
| What do I buy? My first research would be with Monitor Audio Silver speakers. I have had the Bronze and Silver series and they are good for HT, plus the front floorstanders would be decent two channel stereo speakers. If you can work a deal (without the sub) you... | |

| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Jond I think you will really like the AN speakers. What other equipment will you be using??? Also charles1 you are dead on the money, LM Audio gets lumped into the "poorly made Chinese audio products" category. It’s a shame so many audiophiles and... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Yes I did. Audio Note and Devore Fidelity are really fine with lower powered tube amps. You cannot go wrong with either brand. I only had a short listening session with the Audio Note speakers.It’s kinda funny because higher powered tube amps and ... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps I listened to some Shindo gear at Don Better Audio in Shaker Heights, Ohio a few years back. Also heard the Leben gear, Audio Note speakers and Devore Fidelity speakers. I ended up buying a Line Magnetic Audio amp (because that was the limit of my... | |
| Looking for a musical subwoofer @ $500> I like Rel subs. You want a fast sub maybe with a servo amp. I used to have SVS but the customer service was not that great when I wanted to fix it. I think Rythmik subs are very good as well, with fast amps built in (thinking F12g). My two cents... | |
| Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system Are are you kidding me? McIntosh gear is highly regarded, I am sure you will have a very sweet sounding system when some of the components are refurbished. Good luck and maybe you can think of your uncle while you listen. Just a thought... | |
| Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo I would get a Bluesound Node 2. It is a real hi-fi bargain at $499. I have wireless access to all my digital music files stored on a HDD. Plus, I have Pandora, Tidal and Spotify. If I wanted to explore Roon, I could. Should I want to play back Hi-... |
