| Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro First, thanks for the comments- much appreciated. Sorry if I wasn’t clear with my explanation-as I said, just learning about streaming. I do have the MacBook Pro connected to my DAC with a USB cable. Qobuz runs smoothly when I run it from the M... | |
| Origin Live Silver Mk4 tonearm install issues I have an older model Origin Silver too. It was installed on my Sota table by Sota but I do find it a bit finicky. The arm swivels often even though it’s hand tightened (and tightening is very difficult as it’s hard to reach beneath the table to t... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @hickamore Thanks to you and others for SE recommendations. I’ll look into those as well. My room is a largest L-shaped basement room but the system and speakers and listening area are in about half of the long side so hard to define “size”. But c... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 @artemus_5 Unfortunately the nearest Legacy dealer is in Springfield, IL almost 4 hours from my home. And PS Audio only sells direct from Denver. If I think the Legacy is what I’m pretty sure I want I’ll make a trip to Springfield. No trips to Den... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 While i did listen to both speakers at the show, 30-40 minutes in a show environment doesn’t really do any speaker justice- though it does allow for some comparisons. As for testing with my Plinius, of course that would be ideal but virtually impo... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 Thanks to everyone for your insights-all are much appreciated. The SEs sounded pretty great when I heard them at Axpona- really caught my ear over a number of similarly priced speakers. Looks like a trip to Springfield might be in my future- but f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Decided to add a few more that I haven’t seen (though could have missed) jaco pastorius - Word of Mouth; also Truth, Liberty & Soul anat cohen - Luminosa clifford brown- The Beginning and the End lee morgan - live at the lighthouse | |
| Hearing aid question I too have lost high-end hearing and have been using hearing aids for about a year. I’ve spent much of that time testing listening to music with and without hearing aids using all sorts of different music. I have come to the conclusion my system a... | |
| Record Store Day 2024? Here’s a different perspective on RSD. 1. no question that some record companies use RSD to generate dollars on some possibly questionable releases. 2. That said, no one is required to buy anything. If the record is worth the price to you, buy i... | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie @soix thanks for taking the time to help me out, I really appreciate it and you (and others) have done a great job explaining all this to me. As you can tell I’m not tech savvy at all so this group has been very helpful! | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie @soix thanks a bunch- as it happens I back up all FLAC files on an external storage device so maybe I’m ahead of the game there. I would like to move away from the laptop so that’s great advice. Sorry but I still don’t understand how to use an Eth... | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie So just to be a bit clearer, I should be looking at a music server - minus a DAC - because I have an external Liberty DAC I use for playing FLAC files from my computer. The DAC connects to the laptop via USB and to my integrated amp. So I should b... | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie Thanks to all for your insights and suggestions. Much appreciated as I try to wotk my way to adding streaming! | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie Interesting and helpful chain - I have what might be an even more-basic question: I currently don’t stream but am considering expanding to Tidal. I play hi-res FLAC files from a laptop using JRiver through an entry-level Liberty DAC. What do I nee... | |
| Comparing Legacy Focus snd PS Audio FR20 Thanks much for the insights… looking forward to hearing both, tho FR20s are just outside my upper limit (isn’t that often the case?). BTW, my mistake not listing my amp. It’s a 24-yr-old Plinius 8200 integrated rated 175 WPC into 8 ohms, 250 WPC ... |
