| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? Do all of these streamers work with Amazon HD? I am streaming with a $40 Tao Tronics blue tooth receiver, which works ok but would like to improve the SQ. I would like to stay with Amazon HD. | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? I still have a Harmon Kardon HK 2000 cassette deck. I used it to make tapes for the car. It was a good deck back in the day. Don't know why but can't bring myself to get rid of it. Nostalgia I guess. | |
| New TT or upgrade cartridge/platter on Project DC I was in the same situation, I have a vintage Dennon TT and was considering a new TT. After doing much research, I found the most reasonable solution was a better cartridge. I changed my Grado Red 2 to the Ortofon MM Bronze and it has probably bee... | |
| New Speaker / System Suggestions I have the AS2100 powering KEF R3 standmounts with a 400B subwoofer. No lack of power and the R3s are thirsty. | |
| New Yamaha integrated amps I think the Yamaha is considered consumer audio, being the major brand it is. I demoed the Parasound Halo before I bought my Yamaha AS2100. I thought the Parasound sounded great. The salesman was pushing it really hard, which turns me off. I start... | |
| New Yamaha integrated amps I have the AS2100 & CDS2100 very happy with both. Rarely mentioned on this forum. I was surprised to see this post. | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! KEF R3 have really nice looking magnetic grills, but I do remove them when I listen. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? That's a big room for 40 wpc and stand mounts in that price range. I have 2 KEF R3s with a sub, right in your price range, in a smaller room and twice that power and sometimes I think I'm pushing it. | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Grover Washington Jr. Wine light. | |
| New Cartridge I have the Ortofon Bronze for a few months. I'm very satisfied, big improvement over my Grado red II.It's in your price range. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Yamaha CDS2100 / SACD Good quality DAC via USB, balanced connections and a real solid transport. This unit weighs about 35lbs it's a rock.The price has been dropping as the new models come in but not sure how low yet. If you see a used one it's wo... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? Wow, I could have written this question myself. I'm streaming Amazon through my lap top and it sounds great but I want more convenience. Love to hear which streamers work with Amazon HD. | |
| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? I live on eastern Long Island. Back in the 70s and 80s there were plenty of places to shop for audio. Today the closest one is 30 miles away, and they are moving. You can buy plenty of Theater equipment, since there's a best buy in every corner. I... | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? I went through the same thing building my system. It's hard to choose components when there are so many choices and it's hard to hear everything. Reviews are all over the place and many times prefer boutique brands over major brands. I finally mad... | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Upgrading equipment is always exciting. I recently upgraded my cartridge and it sounds like I bought a new system. Audio equipment is like a vehicle, a Ford and a Bentley are very different, but it's still fun to get out and drive. Enjoy the drive. |
