| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I wouldn't even consider a converter. I don't like sonore because it involves convertes to go back and forth to optical. I assume your bel canto supports AES/EBU? I have a grimm streamer that excels using AES/EBU. I think it is foolish to buil... | |
| Android phone for audiophiles No phone in an audiophile system except maybe as a remote. | |

| Looking for a nice outrigger knob like this ... A machinist can make any kind of knob you want. Here is an extension knob I made to raise some tuning pot knobs up above the tubes and transformers in an amp I used to own. They are about 3" tall. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN78UlQ1... | |

| Looking for a nice outrigger knob like this ... Do they need to be chromed? I make my own knobs. Chroming can be expensive unless you live somewhere without environmental regulation. Jerry | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? While kid free and pet free, are not deal breakers, they are a plus. A piece of equipment that smells of smoke is a definite dealbreaker. | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it PS. I just bougth a 4k DVD player and bought Oppenheimer in 4k. Will test it next week. While this solves the problem for good movies (you can buy a 4K DVD for less than 2 theatre tickets), it doesn't solve the problem for random moives you wan... | |
| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? @badbruno I think power is very important to all audio equipment. Indeed, there are some amps that can handle bad power but all amps appreciate good power. The advice to "plug your amp directly into the wall" comes from dealing with bad power co... | |

| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? OP. While that is a nice experiment, it isn't really necessary. Nobdy has good quality power coming into their home today. Too many non-synchronous loads on the line that mangle the sine wave. My power generally runs 4% thd or so. I don't h... | |
| USB output on latest Bluesound Node Sounds like you know what you're dealing with but I'll ask just in case: are you sure you aren't plugged into a USP port that is an input port for firmware upgrades? I think the old nodes had that. Best of luck Jerry | |
| Measurement Bias And I just finished my run. A thin runner looks faster than a chubby one, but that's not always the case. --Jerry | |
| Measurement Bias In speakers, knowing the price might bias you. Or if it looks good, it might bias you that it will sound good. Jerry |
