| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Thanks, Ozzy! I have had the SmoothLan for a couple weeks and I believe different systems will see different results. For me, it quieted the streamer so it now sounds smoother, more like an R2R. I haven't noticed any difference in the soundstag... | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? I also have Hegel, H360 and it does take 10 or 15 minutes to sound better. I cannot tell with other electronics except for phono stage. | |
| Importance of streamer in audio chain I forgot to mention my Cd player retailed for $10,000 and my streamer was $1700. | |
| Importance of streamer in audio chain I stream and play CD's with the same DAC. Since streaming is so easy to do compared to getting up and changing CD's, I've been streaming most of the time and liking it. A few days ago on a whim, I stuck in one of my favorite CD's, a Steve Mille... | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio My local dealer recommended a Velodyne sub, sealed box, servo controlled. So I am on my second one, the DD-12. I really like it and it fills out the bottom end for my Maggie 3.7's. Those are all respected brands you are thinking about. Get one... | |
| AES to s/pdif converter Yes, I wanted to get all the 24/192 selections from Qobuz, but it looks like time to upgrade the streamer. Thanks for the input. | |
| Starting Over and I need your help Stream Qobuz instead of Apple. Costs about $100 yearly. You will thank me later. | |
| AES to s/pdif converter I guess my online search messed up. Still wondering if this will add distortion into the cable. | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? @hilde45 and others. I appreciate your humor. Let's not be REAL serious about this. Most us us have a decent to awesome rig. For those in that category, it is upgrading the weakest piece. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing The Hegel 250w rms seems to be a good match for me. Never runs out of power due to a high damping factor. Paired with a Velodyne 12" sealed box sub. You do need a sub for blues, reggae etc. | |
| Great Interview- I've been to a few Bonamassa concerts in the 2000's. What a performer! Had a rack of guitars like i've never seen. But his sound techs left a lot on the table. And he used only a small portion of the guitars. Heard better sound in some of th... | |
| MQA....again. I want my rig to sound true to the music and MQA is not that. | |
| Integrated tube amp as amp only Sounds like a good experiment. Have fun, this is what it's all about. | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts I am not yet capable of uploading pictures, but I have a T-shirt with what stated with Da'Vinci's drawing of Man and changed slightly to him windmilling a guitar like Pete Townshend. Funny. | |
| What does the gold star mean on this listing for the LSA amp? I can vouch for Wally. Straight shooter. He does get some incredible deals. |
