Need recommendations for a streamer
Wireless with a mesh network providing a nice strong signal has been as good or better than wired Ethernet for me.

I wonder how do these powered speakers deal with vibration. Is it actually a non-issue after all?  
Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System
I enjoy Internet radio a lot on all my systems. I only stream these days because living in a rural area there’s too much noise through a tuner kind of like the surface noise on LPs. What makes The experience pleasurable is the background informati... 
What are we objectivists missing?
@sns  “Audio subjectivists are the furthest thing from being religious, we disagree on so much. While we may believe in our systems and/or choice of equipment, we allow other's those same prerrogatives. If this religion, sure is one incoherent be... 
What are we objectivists missing?
@sns  “What “what are objectivists missing? Trust in their senses, which may be good thing in that certain individuals have a less developed aural acuity.” So the problem here for those trained in science is that we have learned early on that ou...

"This used to be among the absolute best forum. Now its a food fight filled with newbies who are no more audiophile than my 7 yr old niece. But they know it all, like I did when I was 17-18." Wow! This and similar comments from others in this thr...

@clearthinker +1 I too was amazed by the ferocity of the attacks and how quickly they degenerated into ad hominem attacks on what seem to be perfectly valid set a observations by the OP. It made me think how people here seem to complain so bitter... 
How important is spending time with your gear?
Great question Erick! The “stuff“ part of the equation is in my opinion the “guy“ aspect of being an audiophile. We like our hardware. Your question also pokes at the issue of what will happen when we can have completely integrated systems like th... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
@optimize  “Have you done the experiment that you go to ASR and look up the WORST measuring power amplifier that Amir has measured.” +1 That is an excellent idea! I believe my best system is somewhere in the middle range of all this currently an... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I have not heard the others but I bought a Mini Gan 5 last year and it has a nice clean Class D presentation coupled with just a touch of 2nd harmonic warmth like you find with tubes and some Class A solid state.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@spenav 👌  
How do you arrange the order of your records?
@mikelavigne 8 tons of records! My hat is off to you sir. My organizer of choice is Roon.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Blessings on you believers and agnostics alike! Doesn’t it come down to whether you think this hobby resides more in the realm of science or faith? If the former then challenge and refutation is the mothers milk of a truth seeker. If the latter th... 
The magic of outdoor listening
Wow! It takes a very large ego to believe that the music you are enjoying is enjoyed by everyone who also is forced to listen to it at any given time. How often has a car passed you with its windows open and music blaring and you have felt gratefu...
