| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @jbuhl Have never listened to radio paradise. If my sound stage got any bigger it would be out of proportion. I started out with a BDA-3.14 (which is a BDA-3 with a raspberry Pi internally, hence the 3.14). The internal streamer kept on lockin... | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @jbuhl Not sure what you are referring to. I simply plugged in a Roon Nucleus+ appropriately and opened the Roon app. The app found it on my network and upon entering the password it was ready to operate. Plugged in an outboard 2 TB drive and ... | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @cleeds +1 Manic Moose is a POS. I do like my BDA-3 though very much (with Roon). Regards, barts | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? A minor anecdote: A good buddy of mine is way into cars (I am as well just not to his degree). So he decides he wants a Dodge Viper and invites me to come along. We drive a Ferrari Testarossa to the Dodge dealer who has the Viper on the sales fl... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I don't think its dying at all, it is certainly changing. The thing I find the most disturbing is that I've been asked "Yeah it sounds amazing but where is the video?" I just shake my head and reply "If you can't see it then this is not for you.... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo @soix Acoustic Alchemy - Arcanum - Casino: tremendous playing, clarity, freq range. instrumental. The original CD version is much better than Qobuz. Regards, barts | |
| Time heals all wounds? @davidrolon I had a Sony carousel CD player for my garage/shop. It played for many years and then it wouldn't read a disc, then it would a week later. This went on for about a year(!) Then I finally had it and ripped it apart...down in the bow... | |

| ADD or Audiophile? +1 @baylinor | |
| Audiophile frame of mind @dhite71 Many good grill choices out there. Bought an all stainless Weber natural gas grill as part of new patio, so nice to never have to lug tanks around. Its been outside for 20 years now (covered for the first ten, till a bear decided he d... | |
| What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? Deoxit and forget it....... Regards, barts | |
| 5 steps in developing hearing Since the first time I heard the acronym PRAT all I could think was BS. Yeah maybe an acapella choir has PRAT...but how in the hell does ANY system playing the same recorded music have a different Pace? Rythym? Timing? Some one somewhere just tr... | |
| Need a 4 way electronic crossover I am currently using a Marchand and it works as advertised, it doesn't do anything deleterious to the signal. Having said that I would attempt to have the Sony rebuilt simply because you obviously like what it does. Regards, barts | |
| How you know your system is improving? @hilde45 I would counter by saying that it certainly is an investment in your life and is paying dividends. Think of all the non-monetary investments you've made in your life...just a simple walk in the park is an investment. Regards, barts | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice @jrwaudio I also have a LS15 bought in '96 with updated Infini caps (work done by Ward Fiebiger may he RIP). Changed the original Sovtek tubes after about 12 years! Put in Gold Lions, wow what a difference. It has been relegated to the garage s... |
