| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? Thanks, everyone, for the productive conversation. Will check out that filter linked above. I've considered running the coax internet connection through a surge suppressor before. Coax filters seem to be common on surge protectors. I have a Furm... | |
| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? @lowrider57 Could you provide a name or link to the RFI/EMI filter you used? | |

| My Ifi Zen Stream Review: 3D Soundstage! @gillsysb You're confusing sampling rate with bandwidth requirements. CD quality has a bit depth of 16-bits, and a sampling rate of 44.1kHz--often expressed as 16/44. Taking these figures together, CD quality requires a bandwidth of 1411kbps. You ... | |
| My Ifi Zen Stream Review: 3D Soundstage! I am seeing how iFi's software makes this unit difficult for current audiophile uses. I never plan to tie in a library of my own music or access internet radio, which would require that I use iFi's application via web browser. I don't want to eve... | |
| Next Step on the Digital Journey Solutions that check all of your boxes:Look at the NAD C658. I believe it checks all of your boxes. Or you could use a streamer together with a Mini DSP. My understanding is that your system would look like this: Streamer --> Mini DSP -->... | |
| Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market? Zero Fidelity thinks prices will increase and remain at the new level after the increase. I haven't examined the used market to know whether there's more supply, less demand, than earlier this year. But, if the HiFi market generally trends the way... | |
| My Ifi Zen Stream Review: 3D Soundstage! I see. You use the Auralic app as a meta-platform. There is a real need for this. Currently, I have Spotify, Apple Music, and Qobuz. It would be nice if I could access those three libraries from a single app, and it would be nice if that app was h... | |
| My Ifi Zen Stream Review: 3D Soundstage! I heard Ifi was considering developing an app. Not sure if that will materialize, but for now Ifi allows for control only via web browser, like Volumio. From what I can tell, the web browser can only select media servers and web radio at the momen... | |
| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams Good topic. I’m looking through the stations available on my Ifi Zen Streamer, and I see a handful from Naim, Linn, Radio Paradise, and others. I bet these are all high quality streamer. I’ll have to try them out!The BluOs app, on the other hand, ... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Hey OP,A British Audiophile recently published a video related to your topic--on the space between the streamer and DAC--and he also runs a Pontius. So you may want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tKWWs-OMxwI'm in the process of ... | |
| Does port location make a significant difference with regard to speaker placement? Based on the picture in your profile, that's a good looking system! The distance of your speakers from the wall looks pretty good too. A handful of things (you probably know many of these):1. Is the base still muddy when you turn off the sub? If n... | |
| Casters to replace spikes @almandog I sounds like moving from casters to spikes was a downgrade in your experience. Then moving to isolation feet had the effect of returning to the caster-sound plus some? Or did the Gaia's just get you back to were you started?It's my expe... | |
| Casters to replace spikes @esthlos13, my understanding is that the purpose of spikes is actually to *couple* the speaker to the floor. The spikes pierce through the carpet to reach the concrete slab underneath into which they transfer their energy. The idea is that a giant... | |
| Casters to replace spikes Yeah, 130 lbs does seem heavy. What about copying Wilson?When I've visited the Wilson dealer, I've seen these wheels on their speaker (which seems hilarious for something costing ~17k). https://parts.wilsonaudio.com/3-caster/If you can do some res... |
