| ROGUE SP-5 OR MODWRIGHT LS-100 I have the LS 100 and it's a great piece. The only thing similar I've owned to compare it to is a Audio Research LS 26. The LS 26 is in my 2nd system.My LS 100 is powered by Rogue Audio M-180 monoblocks. I've been considering trying out some SS... | |
| Powering Legacy Audio Speaker System Check out accessories4less. They have a number of receivers in your price range. I don't have any specific recommendations as all of my gear is comprised of separates. I'd look at some of the Yamaha offerings. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Destroyer - Ken | |
| Qobuz Uber, I get it now. The Chromecast is a bargain DAC! | |
| High output MC cartridges The only time I’ve ever purchased a HOMC was because I got a really good deal on it. It is my 2nd best cartridge, a Van Den Hul MC Two Special. Maybe my best. The fact that it's a HOMC doesn't necessarily make it a bad cartridge. | |
| Qobuz Interesting approach Uber. I'm not familiar with BubbleUPnP so I'm probably missing something that it brings to the table. That seems like a lot of extra devices and software when you could just have the Qobuz app on your PC's screen and use t... | |
| Help me put together a $1000 (give or take) headphone rig -- new or used Consider the Bluesound Node 2i. It streams and includes a decent DAC. You can always upgrade to a better DAC later and continue to use the Bluesound for streaming. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Earle - Transcendental BluesThe Boomtown Rats - The Fine Art of SurfacingI probably should have saved the second one for Monday! | |
| Qobuz Uber, I use Bluesound's app to control Qobuz in my main system and control it from my phone or tablet. Bluesound's implementation is very good. I do a lot of listening while I'm at my computer also. Since there's no streamer involved in that setup... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Vinyl is projected to surpass CD in sales this year. I'm not sure age has a lot to do with it. When I visit my local record store, I'm often at the far (as in old) end of the age spectrum. | |
| Budget? Cartridge recommendations I really like my Hana SL. It's a great value at its price point.My Kiseki Blue NS is significantly better and can be found on Audiogon under your budget. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I saw the date when I looked up that release on Qobuz. I guess I'll have to modify that to "new to me"! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz I liked Veruca Salt back in the day and didn't realize they'd come out with something new. I'll have to check that out.I sold one of my headphone amps to a younger gentleman in his 20's yesterday and to my surprise, he picked out Steel... | |
| Help me put together a $1000 (give or take) headphone rig -- new or used The Massdrop HD6XX headphones are really good and leave you a lot of room in your budget for a good headphone amp. I have LCD-4, Sony MDR-Z1R, Sennheiser HD-800 which cost multiples of the HD6XX, and many other headphones as well. The HD6XX don'... | |
| Qobuz For those that found the Qobuz app buggy, the Windows app is now much improved. I found it almost unusable and cancelled my subscription also, but gave it another try a while later and came back. It works great now. My only complaint is that I ... |
