| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie I recently found a new in box Bluesound Vault 2i for $700. It’s amazing to me. Not only does it stream anything through a respectable DAC, it has a CD slot and it rips CD’s in 12 minutes each and has a hard drive large enough to store my rack of 1... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues I’m going to throw in a hard to find but wonderful candidate. The Cerwin Vega R211 or R212 in the walnut laminate cabinets are the ultimate in my opinion. The Hard Rocker Series in real laminated wood are the most fulfilling speakers for the money... | |
| DId you get that paperwork from the IRS about purchasing? over $600.00 NPR News had it as a Topic related to the upcoming April 15th Tax Day. I’d think it’d be searchable on their web site. | |
| DId you get that paperwork from the IRS about purchasing? over $600.00 Was in the news yesterday. The $600 rule was not passed for 2023 and again in 2024. They are still debating on where the line will be. Looks like only sales over $20,000 will be under scrutiny through 2024. Supposed to go down to $5000 in 2025, th... | |

| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... Bluesound Vault 2i streams like a champ. Rips CD’s to FLAC. Stores over 2000 in its internal drive. Under $1300 USD. | |
| A persistent hummmm... I recently experienced a slight hum and a slight intermittent bacon popping sound from my recently rebuilt Adcom GFA-565’s into my Polk SDA SRS 1.2tl’s. Turns out that I’d also placed a Bluesound Vault 2i in the room, which connects to my network... | |
| Streaming Curious I bought a NIB Bluesound Vault 2i for $700. It sounds amazing streaming most any service. The real beauty is that I can store my CD’s on its internal drive as FLAC files or a combination of several other formats. MSRP of $1399 won’t break th... | |
| on the cheap Bluesound has several models that will work. I bought a NIB Vault 2i last week for $700 and besides streaming it will allow me to rip and store my 1300 CD’d I otherwise wouldn’t play often. | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Just bought Worlds Best Cables with a 8 gauge bi-wire arrangement on spades. Ran me less than $300 and sound great. Had heavy Monster M cables on from the 80’s and they weren’t terrible, but read a few good things about WBC and for the money they ... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Following, and curious to know the groups feelings on the Bluesound Vault 2i. While it “may” need an outboard DAC, it streams most anything, it connects to your NAS for your library, it rips your CD collection and stores 2tb of music in multiple ... |
