| Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable The reason I ask, is that doing so with my situation would require a fair amount of effort. IIUC, This effort can be drastically reduced with a wifi extender. Cost is $30-60 and plug it in to the AC outlet. Of course make sure it has a Ethernet in... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @cd318I believe Solomon said it best, "There is Nothing New under the sun". But marketers won’t say that nor will the built in obsolescence allow it. Perhaps the Paradox of life is that "the more that things change, the more they stay the same". | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers There was no need for subwoofers with the older speakers, unless they were bookshelf type. Even some of them did a reasonable job. There was a push for "clarity" in the late 70's and onward for mids and highs to be extended. Now, even with floor ... | |

| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives You could try the BlackHawk with your Revel's and see how it works. Then there is a Don Sachs Integrated now with 35 wpc using 6L6 tubes. Don's preamp is always sold within 2 days of arriving on the used mkt. And his amp is great. I have one. The ... | |

| Savoie Turntable by Galibier Design Had to look. Looks like an interesting project. Thanks. While there, I got good info on tape material for belts. Time to make some more. Just ordered a roll of Kapton tape which is preferred by Gabilier | |
| I Pulled the Trigger on the Gaia IIIs. Another Very Positive Tweak! Next Up Schumann! Yeah, I'd love to try them but my speaker are 135 lbs apiece which puts me in the ultra high price thousand$$$ + category. | |

| I must be old @tgrisham I don’t see a cleaning system for the vinyl. That’s necessary as is a Zerostat device for static. Vinyl is NOT convenient. But it will reward you. Fwiw, I just bought a streamer for my future days as I age and don’t feel like the ritual ... | |
| I must be old Misinformed . Fuzztone is on target. I just played 24 bit Mfsl SRV Texas Flood on streamer Teac NT 505. Sounded good. Put on regular vinyl and it is better. | |
| Have I got the wrong amp? or the wrong speakers? Akai was never known for its receivers. They were not highly regarded like their tape decks. That said, the volume control itself may be way too touchy for the receiver. I've seen this before, but not to the degree you have. One way to possibly ta... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @ghosthouse "Phoenix" was their 1st album after Terry Knight (their manager) screwed them out of their rights to the previous catalog. They added keyboard and they had a hit with "R&R Soul". Hardcore fans accused them of being sellouts with th... | |
