| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 Tough one...I doubt you would be disappointed with the Node. The other issue is the interface. The native UI that comes with Bluesound is easy to use and works well but not terribly rich. Not sure what Innuos gives you out of the box. I've heard t... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 There is a good review here if you haven't seen it: https://darko.audio/2019/11/innuos-zen-mini-mk3-review/ Unfortunately there are no comparisons to the Bluesound gear in the article. I have compared the Zenith Mk3 with the BS Vault2 and there ... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i The Vault doesn't support wireless either. Initially I tried Ethernet over powerline but that was noisy. I then tried an inexpensive extender like big_greg and crn mentioned, but I experienced dropouts from time to time. I finally installed Googl... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i Just did a test at a local dealer between the Vault 2 which is my current streamer and the Innuos Zenith mk3. The dealer set up a system consisting of DCS Bartok DAC, Gryphon integrated and Rockport Atria 2 speakers. There was a difference in sign... | |
| How are you liking Amazon Music HiFi now that it’s been out a month or so. I would have thought the interface that you see when accessing Amazon from Bluesound is a Bluesound issue. When I access Amazon music from my PC there is a much more refined user interface. When I access Amazon from Bluesound, the UI is bare bones... | |
| what's a good fm tuner? Glad it has a home, best of luck with it!/mike | |
| Dipping toes in tube preamp pool!! Probably can't go wrong with any of these but one might differentiate itself in your setup. I owned the Backert Rhumba 1.2 and now own the 1.3 Extreme and to say I am pleased is an huge understatement. The only way to figure it out is to get them ... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @philipwu, Not sure if it is helpful but I upgraded from the 1.2 to the 1.3 Extreme. | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp +1 for Backert. I had a Rhumba 1.2 before upgrading to the 1.3 Extreme. The 1.2 was super in my system and responded very well to tube rolling. Buying used limits your ability to demo so you'll have to proceed with some blind faith if you go tha... | |
| Great Male Vocals--Walter Wolfman Washington @david_ten, Nice! A name from the past, I'll check it out....I have some catching up to do! | |
| Great Male Vocals--Walter Wolfman Washington @david_ten,Yes, love DB ii, so glad he is limiting his projects as a side-man and focusing more on his solo career. Saw him at a local club a couple years back when he was out supporting Rich Man....great show and he seemed to be a genuinely nice ... | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? Hi jsqt,I upgraded from the Rhumba 1.2 to the 1.3 Extreme a few months back and happier I could not be. With both of these units I saw a marked improvement in sound after just 30 or so hours with the stock tubes. Andy Tebbe at Backert mentioned it... | |
| Great Male Vocals--Walter Wolfman Washington Sure thing, are you familiar with Doyle Bramhall ii? If not, check out the album "Rich Man". His roots are deep in the blues but this album really stretches the boundaries and brings in many other influences. There are so many beautiful sounds and... | |
| Great Male Vocals--Walter Wolfman Washington Another good one... same genre, Bobby Rush, "Sitting On Top Of The Blues". Perhaps not quite the nuance and detail as the WWW record but it is close. The quality of the songs and sonic's are excellent. | |
| Great Male Vocals--Walter Wolfman Washington @jbhiller, +1 on this album, this is a good one. I cued it up for a buddy of mine and the look he shot me during the intro of the first track was absolutely priceless....talk about palpable, WWW is right there! Great quality all around. |
