| A better way to stream I'd settle for a simpler way to stream which is easy to operate and doesn't rely on a network or at least very little reliance upon it. If your idea will do that then I'm all for it. But it seems to add more complication rather than ease of use | |
| Am I a hopeless audio snob? I too would look at the VPI very closely. I've had 2 or 3 of them and was quite satisfied with the sound & service | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? If you are going to keep the Cornwalls, then the DH low wattage tube amp is the route. Highly efficient speakers like yours @ 102 db sensitivity like low power. Its not about which amp is best. They both have their place. The DH tubes belong in y... | |
| What direction should I go As one who just got into streaming about 9 months ago, my advice is to get a player/server which has the hard drives built in. IOW a straight path from music to player. This should remove one of the network handshakes which is the biggest problem ... | |
| Honesty is the best policy...I think. @oldhvymec has made the edit for the ad to sell. It's not a big deal for anyone who understands that computers are in a lot of products and need to be reset. | |
| your first system- About 1961. All in one record player, preamp,amp and speaker. I was about 9-10. | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! The sound quality ranges from very bad to very good, largely dependent on the record. I have been there and done that many yrs ago. I came to understand that I had a weak link in the chain. A system is only as good as its weakest link. in you... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread The "lower priced tier" HCS-25 speaker cable MSRP – 8690 PLN /2.5m" according to the Positive Feedback review. That is 2192.02 USD. This is 3 times the cost of Audio Envy & The Zavfino. The Hijiri isn’t in the same league as these value base... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread OK, Where does one purchase these cable s and how do you find a price? | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time I agree with those who say that PRAT belongs to the musician, However, it also belongs to the source component which is playing that PRAT which the musicians laid down on the recording. I've been an avid listener for 60 yrs and I only came to unde... | |
| Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall? @montbren I'm glad I could help. FWIW a 12/12 pitch simply means that for every 12 inches horizontally the roof will rise 12 inches vertically. An 8/12 pitch will rise 8 inches and so on. I would also recommend that you make provisions to get th... | |
| Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall? OK Nice. The picture helps.. First, the ridge height on a 24 ft run with a 12/12 pitch will be somewhere around 12ft, not 15. But that is of little consequence for the room. However the 3 ft knee wall will come in appx 3 ft on each side so that cu... | |
| Orientation... Gable roof.... best set up for acoustics on long or short wall? we are building a house with a large gabled room above the garage to be our music room. The total dimension is 39' long 24' wide and 15' high at the ridge line of the gable. This will leave a listening/music room area of 29'x24' I am a retired... | |
| Buy Back Old or Move On? @high-amp Tubes have always intrigue me but being a Mr. fix-it maintenance, kinda guy, when it comes to music, I just want to sit and listen, not tinker & tube roll. I have no real ability to fix electronics either. But I have had tube... | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... @ghdprentice Also that my audio system has always been of far greater value than my car… one of the tests to see if you have the disease. Many years back there was a thread about the cars that we (a'philes) drive. You fit the bill. Me too |
