Integrated amps for lean speakers
@erik_squires @hilde45  As I said earlier, the T5  sub is not big enough. I have a room the same size  which my floorstanders & a Rel Storm 3 with a little more power and 10 in. woofer  would not output enough bass. The T5 has 125 watts with ... 
Integrated amps for lean speakers
Those speakers have a 6.5 inch bass/midrange driver which means the speaker is not designed to do bass. Freq response is 33hz to 22khz. Instead of a new integrated you need a bigger  subwoofer which will then give you the backbone to support the m...

HT & Stereo System Fuel Shortage Coming According to Grid Operators
@mapman Oh good. I’d rather NOT destroy the planet if avoidable. Suck it up and stop crying about everything. I don’t think anyone wants to destroy the planet. Do you think that killing of a few hundred million people would help alleviate the...

You are the one who made it political in your first rant. The article mentioned no politicians, etc. It addressed green energy and if we are rushing into it before the grid is ready? Every post you have made is meant to insult and or inflame passi...

Top 10 vintage cassette decks
I always used top tier Teac 3 head units. I made all my own tapes for the car and they always sounded great...of course using good tapes IE Maxell. The darker the color of the tape the better. TDK was also good  
Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?
@gdnrbob Thanks for your offer and I may surely take you up on it. The system is listed and my streamer is a Teac NT505. At this point I am quite put out by the thing to the point that i find it hard to even want to deal with it. Thus I was cons... 
Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?
Thanks guys. I have a streamer / dac combo now which sounds very good when it works. Too many problems, too much frustration. I was hoping that the aurender would simplify things. I can use the Dac in my Teac NT505 but I'm not sure the aurender wi... 
Are some streaming players more reliable than others?
@russellrcncom  My personal opinion:  It seems to me that this is a wonderful idea that was foistered on us before the bugs were worked out of the technology.  This is my thoughts exactly  Even with an all in one streamer/dac its a PITA. Too m...

@nonoise Casting aspersions on the author, the article’s source and the poster along with Reporting the thread to the Mods as spam is NOT debunking the subject. Those are things you do when you cannot defend your position. I’d love to be wrong ...

@realworldaudio     Even though I disagree, Thank you for a reasonable response. I hope you understand that there are thousands of scientists who disagree with your assertions. The ones that do disagree get little or no press nor any grant $$$. I... 
Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?
Thanks @soix  I was kind of expecting that. I have found a Sonnet Morpheus Dac which has the RJ45 I2s rather than the USB. I was leaning towards an Aurender streamer but they mostly have USB. I'm glad you told me of the lack of standard for the ...

As for the costs of charging an EV outside the home, North Carolina is trying to pass a law so that free EV charging is a thing of the past. It’s free at various locations and rest stops so they want the state to pay for gas and diesel fill ups a...
