| Subwoofer HUMMMMM It could be as simple as a bad cable or connection. How loud is the hum? Does the sub still function? | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? @thyname I’ve streamed from my Oppo BDP-105 and 103 and a Marantz NA6005 and listen to a lot of digital music from my network using a number of different DACs. Have you streamed from a Node 2? There’s always something "better", but the Node 2 is v... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? @thyname Your phono pre / turntable analogy is pretty much what I have done with my Bluesound Node 2. It's going into a $3500 DAC and coming out some $6500 speakers. I think it sounds wonderful. Things don't always have to cost thousands of do... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition I owned a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature 405 X 5 amp for a while and it was signed on the front. I don't know if that is the case with all the Sunfire amps. | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp According to reviews the phono stage in the Marantz is very nice. It's hard to to say whether you could improve on it at your budget. What you will probably get with a separate phono stage is more options for loading and gain settings.The Nova pho... | |

| Can A Network Player/Streamer Be Hooked Up to Old School Receivers Yes, most have analog outs. | |
| Rythmik subwoofer @jetter I think the SB12-NSD is a really nice sub. I'm listening to mine right now and for the small room it's in, it's perfect. The room is maybe 12' X 15'. It does a nice job of filling in the bass for my Canton monitors. I have the gain se... | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? @stuff_jones kahlenz provided a good explanation. Suffice it to say that in any of my systems if there is a bass line coming from a particular spot in the soundstage it images correctly and I have no problem picking it out. Most of the frequen... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? casteeb, if you’re asking me, I’ve had a few speakers in there, most recently Canton Vento Reference DC9 speakers, which have a surprising amount of bass for small monitors and before that, Klipsch Heresy, which despite having a 12 inch woofer in ... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? No, never. I'm still "discovering" music that I've never heard or perhaps was dismissive of when I was younger. There's a lot of great music from that era that I'll never get tired of.There's a great classic rock station where I live that plays a ... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? All of my systems include a subwoofer (or two or three or...).I have a couple off small computer systems in smaller rooms and use small sealed subs in both, a Rythmik F12 in one and a SVS SB12-NSD in the other. I love Rythmik subs and think they a... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? Another vote for a BlueSound Node (I have the 2). I have mine connected to my Auralic Vega DAC. | |
| Turntable Interconnects? What don't you like about the BJCs? Are you using the LC-1? They have low capacitance which makes them an excellent choice for use on a turntable. With the level of the rest of your gear you might be better off spending the money somewhere else.... |
