| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Wow, 11 years between posts! Is that a record? I have a bidat, which John modified many years ago. I have always loved that DAC, particularly when coupled with my CEC TL 1. It presents a lovely, detailed, but un-digital like character. ... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I gave up on this mod. I decided to pull the optical gizmos out and plug the A10 directly into my mesh node with vodka cable and it sounds a bit more resolving and natural than with the optical stuff, and obviously makes for less clutter. If an... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 I bought an aurender A10 and liked it so much a couple weeks later I bought a 250 for the second system. I'm streaming tidal and qobuz and the available variety is truly mind bongling and wonderful. Like any source, quality of the specific song/... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I'm using the aurender dac. I'm using stock ps on the fmcs for the moment. I may try lps but my suspicion of no improvement is essentially twofold--the mesh node is pretty clean and is feeding only the aurender; and the aurender caching the sign... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming OK, my report. I bought the two optical gizmos and a relatively short piece of optical cable to connect the two. Running some supra from my mesh node into the first optical gizmo and then a 1.5 meter AQ vodka out of the second and into my aurend... | |
| Replacement for my Benz Micro Ruby I had a ruby on a couple different VPIs. Eventually, I upgraded to a benz ebony lps, with micro ridge stylus and still use it. It was quite an upgrade; I found it to be a far better cartridge than the ruby, more neutral, more revealing, a greate... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming let us know how it works out. | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming tksteingraber thanks for the response. I may give this a go, seems worth a try for $80. Any recommendations for LPS that won't be disproportionate to the other gear? | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Do you think this would make any difference when using a mesh network? My aurender is wired with an ethernet cable to a mesh node and it is the only piece of equipment plugged into the node. | |
| best phono stage under 10k And I do believe the mc input runs the signal through a step up transformer. However, every time I've tried using it I've switched back to the mm input. I've used a number of different lo mc cartridges with it. | |
| best phono stage under 10k The steelhead has plenty of gain for my benz using the mm input. I've tried it both ways and far and away prefer using the mm input and have no gain issues. | |
| best phono stage under 10k I've had my steelhead for about 12 years. It's an amazing product. I've never had a desire to try anything else. It destroyed the BAT, Sim, audio research units of the day I tried and cast off for the manley. BTW, it sounds a lot better as a p... | |
| Schiit Mani - Sent in for repair, no response. Looking for rec's on a replacement preamp I'll second the recommendation to save for a used chinook. I have a steelhead in the main system and its wonderful. I have a simaudio 110lp in the second system and its good for the money but nothing near the steelhead. You will upgrade at some ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I had a 16.5 and sold and bought a 17. Both excellent. You need ear protection with the 16.5. But that is also my recommendation in your budget. | |
| Good source for TT dustcover?? I contacted a Plexiglas shop in my community and provided them with the dimensions I wanted including the location and size of cutouts for the tonearm and power cables. I got a great and well made cover at a price lower than the audio specialty s... |
