| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I stream Qobuz and Tidal through the Bluesound and also listen to Radio Paradise often. Tidal has a bigger catalog, but I like that Qobuz has more hi-res files and doesn't use MQA. The Bluesound will decode MQA, and the rest of the files are CD ... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I have two Bluesound Node 2 (previsous version before the 2i version) and have been very happy with them. The Android interface is very good and easy to use, I can't speak to the Apple interface, but would expect it to be similar. | |
| Favorite punk song. Teenage Lobotomy - The Ramones | |
| Turntable Ground Wire question I don't know anything about 78s, but I do know that the Parks Puffin has multiple EQ settings and you can customize your own as well and it's only $450. I have one and have been really happy with it. Might be worth checking out. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? John Coltrane - Soultrane | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? @spiritofradio I mention hearing, not because I think yours might be bad, but because I think that's a big variable. I'm approaching 60 and while I can discern differences between cables, cartridges, bit rates for digital music, etc., those thing... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? @lewm Yes, I was thinking about capacitance, not resistance, and thanks for making that distinction. | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? @spiritofradio The original post is over a year old, so I don't think you have to worry too much about hijacking it. I'm not an expert at this stuff either, but you have to take into consideration that your cables also add some resistance, so you... | |
| Help to pick a preamp for technic sl1210 with Ortofon nigh club s cartridge @atl4love I'm not familiar with that turntable, so I'm not comfortable recommending it. It might be a great deal, I just don't know. My experience with buying tables with used cartridges has been a bit hit and miss. I think you're better off bu... | |
| Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon. @jetter I use my Samsung Galaxy S10e often to control mine. I don't like big phones, the S10e is the smallest one in the lineup. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Paul Simon - Greatest Hits, Etc.Stuck in the Middle With You - The Best of Stealers Wheel (they were more than a "one-hit wonder")REO Speedwagon - You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish | |
| Help to pick a preamp for technic sl1210 with Ortofon nigh club s cartridge I suggest a Hana SL and a Parks Puffin. A little over your budget but should sound great. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Focus 3 | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I have a Musical Surroundings Nova Phonemena (solid state with a DC power supply) and a Manley Chinook (tubes). If I turn up my preamp to the 12 o'clock position with nothing playing, I hear no added noise with the Nova. There is an audible incr... | |
| Cheap cart confession I wanted to set up one of the two turntables in my main system with an inexpensive cartridge for used records. I bought a Shure V15 Type 4 with a broken stylus off ebay, a JICO SAS replacement stylus, and some capacitance loading plugs to tame th... |
