| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: As I previously stated, Hardwiring makes a huge difference. Last night I just switched routers. My internet speeds are over 100MB most of the time. To check the sound quality between wireless and hardwired, we placed the router 3 feet away from th... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I have the original Node 2. I use it to stream Tidal MQA. The dac inside the Node 2 is adequate, but I have found that running it through my Cambridge 851C's DAC sounds much better. I ran a CAT6 cable to the Node 2. I then moved my stereo to a dif... | |
| Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i Does anyone have any insight about the Audioquest power cords? | |

| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? You guys! What perfect responses! Thank you! I guess now my only concern is the possible degradation of signal flow at the y-adapter. I'm running audioquest Waters interconnects and would hate to lose the quality at the Y. Suggestions? Female inp... | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? cat_doormanIt was I who was missing something. I was thinking I needed two inputs into each amp, but you are right. I guess I only need one channel on each amp if I bridge. This would also solve the impedance problem. I guess the next question is ... | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? yogiboy I thought about the Y adapter, but I am wondering if that will degrade the sound by putting in an inferior jumper in the middle of the line. mijostynSounds Intriguing, But how do you bypass all the crossovers in the speakers? My big Acous... | |
