| Is there such a thing as too much power? My main system cast offs often end up in one of my other systems. For a while I had my 440 watt per channel Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000 MKII in my bedroom with my 102 dB efficient Klipsch KLF-30 speakers. I'm pretty sure that was too much power. For ... | |
| Subwoofer advice sought I don't often see 4-6 double bass players scattered throughout the venue to immerse you in their bass.If you've ever been to a rock concert or especially an EDM show, the bass travels throughout the venue and you feel it as much as hear it. That'... | |
| Another streaming newbie Chuck,My short and sweet description (or opinion if you wish) of Tidal vs Qobuz rests on a couple of things. Tidal seems to be focused on a younger audience. Think hip-hop, pop, rap, etc. It's owned by Jay-Z. Qobuz seems to appeal to a more ma... | |
| Another streaming newbie Chuck, a few thoughts about your responses.The TEAC NT-505 has a much "warmer/analog like" sound than the Bluesound. The other thing I noticed immediately was a much bigger and more lifelike soundstage. Not warmer at the expense of detail either... | |
| Another streaming newbie The BlueSound Node 2i is like a gateway drug. It's a good way to get started, but may leave you wanting for more, especially if you really enjoy the sound of vinyl. It has a great app and is easy to use, but you may eventually find it lacking so... | |
| Swarming! I initially set my 4 subs up using two Y splitters directly from my preamp. After reading about possible impedance issues and at the suggestion of others, I purchased a used iFi Micro iTube2. I now run the left and right output from my preamp in... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? I agree with Ozzy about skipping over the Bluesound. I wish I would have done that. It's a great bargain and sounds pretty good if you're not overly critical. I still have one in my bedroom system. It can easily be outclassed by spending a bit... | |
| DAC Streamer Recommendation @jackd Mine worked fine with a TP Link client at first also. I updated the firmware and after that it would not stay visible on my network. I tried factory resets and a bunch of other things, but could not get it to work reliably using a wirele... | |
| Very basic subwoofer question Yes, it's possible. I have 4 systems. All but my main system consist of small monitors and one sub. In all of these systems the bass is complementary in the way that you describe, subtle, but adding depth and realism to the music. In my main s... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? The Modwright LS 100 used should fit in your budget if you can find one. I've been super happy with mine. No lack of bass, but I have 4 subwoofers. Having said that, Before I got my Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers I was using Legacy Audio Focus... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? I have only heard the Lumin T2, so I can't say how the Lumin U1 Mini sounds, but it would definitely be on my short list if I were in your shoes. I highly recommend the MHDT Labs Orchid, especially with your preference for analog. I've had a lot... | |
| DAC Streamer Recommendation I had problems using the TEAC with a wireless client. I ended up running a wire to it. | |
| DAC Streamer Recommendation The teac only has a wired connection. You can use the Lumin, esoteric, or teac apps or bubbleupnp (Android) | |
