I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
@markny2011 Just a guess but Id say next to the AC cable debate that actually never really stops that the streamer/ dac debate would have to be number two on these boards.Your getting good advice from @audphile1 go to the digital threds here and r... 
I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
@markny2011 Happy Father’s Day if that applies! Yes I am an avid cyclist after giving up running (knees). My upgrade started with the idea of just adding vinyl playback to my old system (pics on profile) started with a P3 and an inexpensive phon... 
I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
@markny2011 At the beginning of the pandemic I decided I would “upgrade “ my 20 year old system. Forty thousand dollars later all the 20 year old components are in the garage in boxs. Its been explained to me by management that my “ upgrades “ are... 
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
Kinda surprised there would be any watchers of that particular network on an audiophile website.Seems like a lot of work and expense to put together a system to listen to Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, should be able to find a cassette player or maybe e... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@audphile1 “ only pissed off temporarily “ hahaha 🤣 indeed!  
Going back to headphone ?
@mahgister Welcome back! You were missed.  
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
@beach2mtn Have both if those artists on my playlist right now actually, always afraid someones going to look at really close someday and think Im schizophrenic.  
Aurender N200
@fthompson251 Nice! Your gunna love it. Coincidentally I was spinning vinyl all afternoon today,something I do less and less of. I was thinking man vinyl sounds so  much better than streaming, got lazy a little later and switched over to my N200 f... 
Decware and “The List”
@oddiofyl Man so sorry you were subjected to that. You we’re perfectly fine in your $3500 dollar assessment, about what I would have said. What an awful human. Dig your system btw, keep listening!  
Dedicated power circuits
@minorl Wow great post, thanks for that. I found that to be some of the best no nonsense AC information Ive read here. Also took a look at your system on your profile, wow again, any chance for some pics? Thx again!  
Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?
Got the feeling Jason Borne was left permanently scarred by nasty power cable break up, can take some time to heal maybe someday meet a new cable.  
Pontus 2 not working.
@tah800 Unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in. Its the one complaint I have with mine. No master power switch so if the power cable especially an aftermarket one is not seated just so it’ll shut down and need to be rebooted.  
Ultimate stereo nightmare
@rvpiano Just occurred to me,what I do is put my phone or pad in back of my system in places I need to look at and take a picture. Allows me to enlarge it to look at things I need to see . My problem is vision, tricky to do but it can be done, har... 
Ultimate stereo nightmare
@rvpiano Seems like in NYC there would be a number of audio clubs you could tap for help. If you were in So Cal Id gladly come and help on this weekend. Best of luck.   
Another cable question
@audphile1 Thanks, very sage advice. I started streaming with a inexpensive Marantz unit. The idea being I,d stream while puttering around the house or was out in the backyard, well that was three streamers ago now and I almost never spin Vinyl ca...
