| Which external SSD for music streaming? @stievus most SSD manufacturers make two or three types of drives that differentiate between capacity, speed, and longevity. As a music library doesn’t typically get overwritten and just added to, you should look for drives that offer good longevi... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 @arnold_h Given that you cannot distinguish performance differences between the Node and CD playback, I am curious as to what you’re using throughout your system. I see that you haven’t posted a virtual system in your profile. Could you list it ou... | |
| SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST 2024 @ricred1 Ah! Thanks for the correction! They look so mighty alike, in design and shape, even with how the logo is placed beneath. It was a dark room, though I did spend a good 30 min or more listening. | |
| Integrated amp: Component weight I am a dealer for the amps I am about to mention, but I do feel they are worth considering: Margules ACRH-4 - A Class A/B tube hybrid integrated amp using a pair of 12AU7 while including a decent MM phono stage. It is single ended only, no balanc... | |
| SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST 2024 I was there in a professional capacity to network and discuss business, but I also had plenty of time to visit every room at least once and many twice or three times. This show was considerably smaller than a number of audio shows I’ve been to in... | |
| Aurender AP20 Impressions @sro Aurender will certainly have the AP20 on display there. I’ll be there as well throughout the weekend, though I won’t yet be exhibiting. I’m hoping to start in 2025 and am already starting to discuss my plans with partners to do so. | |
| My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode @txp1 I do find that I need to clear cache every so often to ensure playback does not hiccup. Sometimes more often than others especially if I jump around from track to track too quickly and somehow overwhelm the cache. | |
| Borresen X3."Hi Fi" or High End as in natural realistic sound ? @networkguy2010 I should also mention that I had just launched Bliss Hifi at AXPONA 2022 with the intent to sign on my first three brands - T+A, Aurender and DH Labs. Borresen was not on the list at that time, so there is no way that I would have ... | |
| Borresen X3."Hi Fi" or High End as in natural realistic sound ? @networkguy2010 It’s not my intent to be negative about Borresen. I thought I mentioned in my post above that I have a lot of respect for the 0 and M series, but noted their price points make those models inaccessible to many. I probably should ha... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @audiojan and @soix - this is what I meant by careful matching with the amp. I found it took a lot of power and current to get the speaker tightened up and for the tweeter to wake up, but with the right amp, it really does come alive. Pulsars are ... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 Also, not related to 501 vs DAC 200, but when I most recently took in the Weiss 501, I was curious to try it as a headphone amp. I recently got myself a pair of Hifiman HE1000SE, which are not hard to drive, and the 501 has a good reputation as a ... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @roccity As with any dialogue around format, I believe it is not about the format but about the implementation. T+A is one of the pioneers in DSD playback and the first manufacturer to achieve true 1-Bit DSD 1024 playback (established in the SDV 3... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @mgrif104 Thank you for the kind words, and I agree with your assessment, though my comparisons have been with the original Weiss 501 2ch and not the newer 501 4ch. I had another customer more recently purchase the DAC 200 to move past two DACs he... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix Thanks for sharing the link! I’ll check it out when I get back in town in a few days. I actually have an Usher demo cd laying around. I’ll have to check if it’s the same one. If it is, I’ll be happy to give it to you if you want it. Don’t ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix It's just my personal opinion, but based from experience. I recently sold a pair of Usher DMD floorstanders and had some time to intimately gauge their performance while they were in possession. The Usher DMD range, both from when I've seen ... |
