| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @fastfreight Aurender finally announced that Roon Ready capabilities are now in the beta versions of Conductor, at least for partners/dealers, but perhaps all beta testers. As a reminder, Aurender cannot be run as the core. Roon Ready mode will be... | |
| What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters? I’ll take the credit for telling @vonhelmholtz about how I took my whole system off the grid and implementing a battery supply. I got the idea myself from @ricevs replying to an inquiry of mine on GAN amps (thank you, Ric!), which led me to anothe... | |
| S/PDIF coax to BNC @deone Many cable manufacturers can build RCA Coax to BNC without the use of an adapter. I am a dealer for DH Labs and Cambridge Audio, and I know the DH Labs D-750 is one example of a cable that can be built to this configuration. I'm sure there ... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 +1 @jerrybj I happen to be fortunate to be able to have the SRX in possession. If my post was “pushing” this cable, I don’t think it’d be too effective. I don’t know of many people who would swing the cost on the cable just because I say it’s one... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. @n80 This may be too obvious, but have you looked into Bluesound? It’s a very similar ecosystem to Sonos, and comes from a partnership between NAD and PSB, two very well respected audio companies. Bluesound has had a solid track record, around 10 ... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 @classicrockfan You’re absolutely right about me. With audio, the sky is the limit. I absolutely love audio and am heavily invested. Looking at your posts, you have been overly negative about other people’s investments into high end cabling, so ... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Sounds like the OP already landed a cable, but out of all the USB cables I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried a lot), the only two I found myself being able to live with are the Synergistic Research SRX USB (very expensive) and the FTA Sinope, which po... | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” Why, thank you. :) | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” @knownothing A few months before I became a dealer two years back, I was on a search to upgrade my own DAC. I owned a modified PS Audio DirectStream MKI (in which the transformer and LPS mods I performed improved and increased the soundstage) to a... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @jriggy I am a Synergistic Research dealer, so take it for what you will, but they make a PowerCell One for plugging one single component direct into the wall. I’ve personally been a big fan of the PowerCell series long before I became an SR deale... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. @rvpiano I assumed you already had the solution since you have an ultrasonic cleaner. You can also just use distilled water if that is more handy. If you do decide to use solution, you can try adding a few drops on the area and letting it soak for... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume For a room that size and for the music you mention, I would highly recommend looking into the Vivid Kaya 25. It has the speedy performance of a high end bookshelf with better bass extension through a bottom firing port. They are slim and easy to m... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. What do you mean by “gets stuck”? Does it skip back into the same groove over and over or does it literally get caught (that would be horrible)? For tough gunk, I’ve found dabbing a microfiber cloth in ultrasonic cleaning fluid and wiping with a ... | |
| My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode @jred I agree with @ghdprentice. My brother was one of the earlier Aurender N100 adopters, long before I became an Aurender dealer, and he was the one who brought the brand to my attention when I was much earlier on in my audiophile journey. I thi... | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” @musicfan2349 I totally agree that the recording and mastering process is an ultimate source of where soundstaging happens, but I don’t think the OP was intending that to qualify as a “component” in the original inquiry (I am assuming this and can... |
