| Power Conditioners @dannad,I am a private individual enjoying the music and resenting rabidly aggressive know-it-alls | |
| Power Conditioners @dannad:So in short: pontificating you are. Nothing quite like our friends, the Audiogon trolls... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Bybees by a country mile | |
| Transport to replace my cd player May I suggest you get an Innuos Zen and rip your cd‘s each time you listen to one of them? It‘ll do wonders to SQ and future proofing | |
| Power Conditioners @dannad: have you actually tried it or are you just pontificating? | |
| Ideal Connection path to a dac? On USB an isolator is clearly beneficial. I use an Intona USB Isolator. My DAC initially wouldn‘t be recognisable to the server when inserting the Isolator. Intona suggested to use an usb hub and I never looked back. | |
| Best WiFi Music Streamer Does it exist? Sorry, typo: use an airport express to link wifi to the dac | |
| Is the Roon Nuceus device a good streamer? In my experience an Innuos Zenith Mk3 running Roon doesn‘t sound anywhere near as good as running native; the Zenith in Roon beats the Nucleus by a country mile, so: no, the Nucleus is not a top server/streamer | |

| Another equipment recommendation request for DAC with Pre Amp I suggest Antelope Zodiac Gold or Platinum, the combination of good Dac and Preamp are hard to beat and they are very competitive in the second hand market | |
| Best WiFi Music Streamer Does it exist? Just use an old apple airport snd it solves yout problem via its ethernet out | |
| Zenith 3/Matrix: the day the music dies Just had a similar experience without using Roon. After a couple of days the Zenith went all funky and I had to restart. I am told a new operating system/app is due later this year. Mind- the Zenith SQ is first rate. | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About The purpose of the shorting plugs is to prevent ingress of electromagnetic grunge into low voltage circuits. Depending on circuit design and local conditions they can be highly effective or a waste of space. Unlike for cable lifters the technical ... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Just help me out here in responding: are you looking for love or confirmation of self-loathing? |
