| Pls Recommend Streamer Under $500 for Tidal “HiFi” The Bluesound works great with Tidal the app is really good. Over $500 would give you a bunch of other options but under the Node 2i is the clear winner.Add a R2R DAC later if you like no problem but it's quite good on it's own. | |
| What is the right choice? What speakers? Digital tech moves so quickly I'd be looking at a Rega Brio and pick an external DAC of your choice if it'll drive your speakers well.I've heard the Yamaha it's a great sounding amp the DAC is definitely the bottleneck but it still... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) If you can't hear an appreciable difference then I'd just enjoy the Node on it's own.I'm running this exact combo and can attest to the lengthy break in time that the Yggdrasil needs before showing what it can really do - I'd make sure it's been s... | |
| Best cheapo Cartridge The Audio Technica AT95, Ortofon 2M Red and the Nagaoka MP110 are all solid choices on the cheap... | |
| DMB live tracks 2008 I don't have a copy but FYI nugs.net have what appears to be all of the live trax releases in CD quality.They had a really cheap annual subscription a month or so back like $12 or something so I signed up.They probably have a free trial where you ... | |
| I found the best portable headphone amp I have ever heard Wow - high praise and cheap to investigate. I have a Pono which does indeed have a great headphone amp and a 1st gen Fiio X5 which is alright at best - will definitely keep it on the radar... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? I've heard some dramatic changes in speakers for sure - got a pair of Harbeth 40.2 a few weeks ago and although the designer claims that break in is all in your head, my experience with their 12" bass driver suggests otherwise.Fresh out of the box... | |
| Television technology - where are we? Too bad Panasonic doesn't sell consumer TV's in the US - they make a really nice OLED. You wouldn't miss your Kuro at all. Sony are also very nice apparently and both buy their OLED panels from LG who also make a nice OLED screen.I find LED scre... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations I am in awe of how well my LFD NCSE is driving my recently acquired 40.2's - 2nd gen is going for about half of your budget used it seems and the 3rd gen is right in there.Had an LFD LEIII previously and the NCSE was a totally different animal - w... | |
| How loud do you play music? No idea how accurate the app is on my phone but I use it all the time to get a rough idea of what the SPL is. Typically between 70-80 dB with peaks at 85 gives me everything I need and I'm not doing much harm to my hearing either.I have always be... | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N LFD and Harbeth is a well known match - if you can live with simply a source selector, mute switch and a volume control you can't go wrong. | |
| Radio Paradise Free I read the same thing on another forum and I agree that the FLAC stream sounds very good running on my Bluesound Node 2i->Schitt Yggdrasil.It does sound louder but I'm not sure it's better - they likely use some type of broadcast gain matching ... | |
| Digital cable comparison: Black Cat Silverstar 75 MkII vs Analysis Plus Digital Crystal? Not sure if it helps but I compared my Silverstar 75 to an Analysis Plus Digital Oval a couple weeks back on my Schitt Yggdrasil and I put the Black Cat cable back in right away. It just simply let more music through and had a much more exciting ... | |
| Best affordable Surge protector home stereo and my TV? The Furman PST-8 is solid for A/V purpose and pricing is very reasonable. | |
| Recommendations for bookshelf speakers The KEF Q350's are a really fun speaker - I couldn't personally live with the LS50 but the Q350 have really good boogie factor going for them.There are a pair of B&W's that go for a bit more that are also supposed to be really good bookshelves... |
