| Seller Listing Pet Peeve Yep. people list the model number like the whole world has all the specifications of this model component memorized. Sometimes they don't even list the brand like any fool should know the equipment by the shortened name. I guess the internet a... | |
| Higher amperage fuse for sound quality Being risk tolerant I would swap them back. | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience OK, but I google Audioirvana and all I get is software. I'm having trouble understanding what we are comparing. | |
| Small powered speakers for home office (Audioengine HD3?) Troll. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I am currently auditioning (for fun, I don't need them) a friend's brand new VTV Purify monoblocks with swappable op amps (he has Sparkos) and they are very good for an SS amp. I too prefer my 6 wpc SET. but if you're a fan of ss amps, give the... | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience So is a streamer a piece of hardware? Just trying to get things straight. | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience Nice writeup. Thanks for this. However, as I understand it, you are comparing the digital processing software from Audirvana to the digital processing software on Bluesound node. To compare the hardware only, you would compare the two pieces o... | |
| loud intermittent pops from DAC, possibly related to long USB cable from computer Glad you figured it out. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna I went down the high power road for a while. I had my own personal room heater with 4x 6c33c tubes. Now with my efficient speakers I'm running 6 wpc of decware and much better sound, my amp makes less heat than my TV, and I can listen or use it ... | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? i build a lot of wires--speaker cables, interconnects, etc. I have the stuff on the way to rebuild the crossovers on my 4 way speakers. I am building a set of outriggers for the same speakers. I installed a dedicated 240V 30 amp circuit for my... | |
| Amp Search and Upgrade @dadork Funny you don't like the looks of the Kinki. It is highly complemented in reviews. I certainly don't think I have good taste in what looks good so my opinion isn't very valuable but I like the simplicity. It is generally referred to as ... | |
| Question about amplifiers Martin logans have a tremendous midrange which old ears can still appreciate. So having a good amp is a good thing. That said, MLs are also relatively forgiving of a poor amp. I have an old pair of CLS whose midrange always surpassed my new hig... | |
| Amp Search and Upgrade I'm not going to argue with you guys on whether it is worth it to upgrad the streamer but at least don't try to convice a guy to upgrade his streamer before his amp. the streamer is at least a questionable improvement as show my how many disagree ... | |
| Amp Search and Upgrade He isn't using the DAC in the node. The node is a fine streamer. | |
| What does a subwoofer solve? I too am skeptical that the Luxman doen't provide enough bass. So I'll make a blind suggestion, which may not be the answer but is something to look at. Every amp has different power requirements. It is possible that whatever power cords, power... |
