| Cartridge/ Tonearm compatibility It will be just fine with it. I like to use this tool to check: https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.php?eff_mass=10.7&submit=Submit Doing so, you'll see that with a 10.7 gram effective mass and between an 8 and 9 grams ... | |
| Aurender N200 @dinov I was just ensuring the right information is offered to the public and also trying to be lighthearted and humorous about the situation. I 100% agree that if you are not using the built-in storage of the Aurender, you would not be using it f... | |
| NODE as just a streamer / Airplay device Node 2i and the later Node N130 both added AirPlay support, but if you want to store files, you’d have to use the Bluesound Vault 2i, not the Node. @12many The Bluesound ecosystem does a fine job of streaming (and file management and serving of u... | |
| Aurender N200 @dinov Not trying to change your mind, but I want to provide clarification. Should an Aurender unit go down, you don’t need someone with an Aurender to retrieve your music files. You can remove the drives and install them in any other enclosure to... | |
| Streamlining streamers @atlvalet you could go for the N150 or ACS100. You could even purchased older units like the N100 used for less, but the sound quality also performs a bit lower than current models. | |
| Aurender N200 @dinov I agree with you on where the value proposition is with Aurender. But if it were up to me, in the case of a hurricane, I'd rather take the N200 that has all of my NAS files in it! The N200's form factor isn't that much bigger than a typical... | |
| Aurender N200 @dinov and @cleeds - for clarification, Aurender does not require you to use the internal bays for storing your music library. It absolutely has the ability to connect to a NAS on your network if that is the route you prefer to go. But there are b... | |
| Aurender N200 Congratulations and welcome to the Aurender family! TMR is also great to work with. Make sure you break the unit in for a few days before giving any initial impressions. You can just loop music or noise tracks nonstop for a few days and you’ll be ... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? It doesn’t accomplish the same thing but it might do the job you need it to do. Most formal diffuser panels are designed to scatter frequencies in a fairly uniform way, and many of them work from the midrange up. Properly placed, they will reduce ... | |
| Yamaha CD S1000 or S2100 as transport @output555 It's my pleasure. I find it fascinating how bad the product marketing is for most brands/manufacturers. Just a little bit of effort to help describe the benefits of each step up in their lines and a comparison chart would go a long way ... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl I’m an authorized Aurender dealer and am currently helping out two other A’goners decide on units, both are considering the N200. The N200 is an incredible value for a standalone streamer. Not only does it easily eclipse the Bluesound.... | |
| Yamaha CD S1000 or S2100 as transport @output555 In full transparency I am a dealer (and audiophile first) but do not represent or sell Yamaha. I’ve owned both units but didn’t A/B them to an external DAC, so take this with a grain of salt. I’m actually not convinced that the drive... | |
| Streamlining streamers @atlvalet In full transparency I am an authorized Aurender dealer. That said, I try to be as unbiased as possible in my responses across the forum. As said above, I used to own the M50.2. It was actually quite a good streamer and server in its da... | |
| Streamlining streamers I used to own the NAD M50.2 myself, and it was a massive step up from using the streamer in the Bluesound, both which were already hooked into a Luxman DA-06 and PS Audio DirectStream DAC at the time. If the living room is your new dedicated space... | |
| Aurender N20 vs N200 with a Berkeley Reference DAC 3 and Berkeley USB Interface Box @dciraldo I am an authorized Aurender dealer. The N20’s OXCO clock is a very high quality one and is worth using. You will get the best possible results sonically from you unit using it. Luckily your Berkeley also prefers an AES input, it should b... |
