PD-Creative
@Jw944ts thanks, that email still works. Node 2i upgrade boards available, but the only 110v ac units for USA  are smpsu. Id like to get feedback on Acopians LPS. I like their multi dc out options and price seems good per rail. I know these are... 
PD-Creative
So glad I found this thread. Hopefully I can get help. Im interested in the PD Creative board for my Node 2i. Found their website but no contact info. If its at bottom of home page its in Polish. Yes, selected English at top. Can someone please pr... 
Made in USA
Wow, didnt think this would be such an edgey topic. First off, of course USA companys use some globally made parts just as with cars. Yes, some very good products are made abroad. Sorry for the "not exact" title. It is still nice to see the many ...

Ozzy is done
Hes just another man. Were all equal in the end with no control of our immorality. Know God and follow his way. We ALL will face judgement day. You ll either have enternal life with him or seperated from his grace.   
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
@skinzy Wow, your digital streaming section is at that cost level and you still say say vinyl sounds better. I stepped into streaming a year ago in the $1k range. Its not bad, but Im must be way out of the ballpark to even come close to hearing th... 
Why Do Some Recordings Sound Great and Others Dead?
For what its worth, I use an Analog Production vinyl pressing of Nora Jones' 1st lp to show off my system to friends. Sounds great! So the original recording is very good. Not sure if this helps as a reference for streaming this recording.  
A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey
@macg19 Tried to comment on your profile but kept erroring. Didnt want to sidetrack this thread. My tt is Musichall 9.1mmf, cart is a lower end, but nice warm Nagaoka, Schitt PS, Odyseey amp, Magnepan 1.7i s, Rhymik sub. So, yes my cart is porpor... 
A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey
Did I miss which Denafrips DAC was purchased? Didnt see a model. I upgraded to a $250 DAC for my Bluesound Node 2i / Bluejean coax / Quboz high rez. I "thought" it helped, maybe slightly. Still hear that brittle digital sound compared to vinyl. Do... 
Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage
I agree with those who suggest room treatments 1st. If you want to try an amp less than $750 that can definately drive them, Ive got a recapped Carver M400 I would  part with. 200wpc 8ohms, over 300wpc 4ohms. It drove my 1.7i s at high spl for ho... 
Solving the "complex music problem"?
 The amazing part of all this is the fact that the tiny interworkings in our ears can convert countless soundwaves into signals our brains interpert. Then we decide the quality of the sound. And thats only a nano example of Gods amazing creations.  
A free tweak revisited
@immathewj best to you with the issue you elaborated on. Another visual Ive tried, but can get a bit too trippy is put a monitor between speakers, play those visual affects vids on youtube with prog rock, psycedelic or ambient music and no NO sti... 
A free tweak revisited
Great topic, so true. Critical listening in LP always better in dim light. With room lights off, I run a cheap colored light refractor againest front wall ,behind speakers. This creates a moving visual depth. More lively than sitting in darkness a... 
Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers
Oh, same speakers here Magnepan 1.7i s.  
Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers
This may have nothing to do with OPs situation, but made a big difference for me.. When I started streaming with Bluesound Node 2i and Qobuz, the volume was much lower than my stand alone cd player and turntable. After I added an external J2 DAC ...
