| Benefit of shielded ac wire? Any downside? tantejuut... I have wired my system from the breaker panel with starquad 12 awg solid core wire direct to my distribution block. And a 10 awg , counter rotating, earth wire ...Was this wire rated for the purpose and for in-wall use? | |
| Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer emil CleedsThanks for the warning.Is this a known problem or is this just your personal experience?The issue with the OS freezing after a power loss is a known problem. Some users employ a small UPS as a workaround. That's something I would have ... | |
| Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer emil Thoughts on Aurender?Looking at some used units ...I bought an Aurender N100H in January as my first real streamer. It sounded great and looked slick, but that’s all I can say in favor of it. I just shipped it off just this week to The Music... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux mijostynThere is more to vinyl than just the sound. There is the collection and handling of records. There is no way to duplicate this digitally even if you can duplicate the sound digitally. Those of you who do not think you can have obviously no... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux seventies Increased measurable distortion and decreased dynamic range inherent in vinyl playback are, I believe, hard to dispute.The potential dynamic range of the LP format exceeds that which most music requires. That was true even before the lou... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux seventies I’m not sure we’re on different pages ... I am talking about a sonic characteristic, a sonic ’signature’ if you wish, which is achieved only through the intermediary of vinyl.That’s where we disagree. I don’t think vinyl has any such in... | |
| Purchase breaks well within 30 days atwatervillagelawyer I guess you guys think the deal part of buying it used means you lucky it works at all. No on here has suggested that at all. There seems to be universal agreement that if the item hadn't worked properly when you first rece... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux seventiesDo you agree that the audio result of initial digital recording, tape recording, and 'direct to disc' analog recording (via vinyl lathe cutting or lacquer to 'stamper' to vinyl) is distinct (and to many 'euphonic') so long as the mus... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux mijostynThank you cleeds. But euphonic would mean "true sound" which it is not. The definition of euphonic is "pleasing to the ear" not "true sound." In fact, euphonic reflects a deviation from accuracy. I’m not sure why you seek to apply your own... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux mijostynVinyl adds euphoric distortions that digital conversion has no problem capturing.Wow, if you’re experiencing euphoric distortion, you must be smoking something. Perhaps you mean euphonic. No matter. Distortion has nothing inherently to do ... | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? I agree that we are already there. Qobuz streamed and sent through a good DAC can be spooky good. I'm an analog guy and I'm not giving up my LPs, but there's no denying the audio quality we can get with a good streaming setup. | |
| vinyl versus digital redux seventies Sound waves are sine waves....air waves do not ’travel’ in digital bits. A digital signal cannot be more than an approximation of a sine wave, but a closer approximation as potential digital resolution (equating to bit depth times samp... | |
| Record Care Regime can I do better ? mijostynContrary to popular mythology, records come from the factory pretty clean with maybe some incidental dust and an occasional finger print.That's an oxymoronic statement. If you have incidental dust and sometimes a fingerprint, your recor... | |
| Record Care Regime can I do better ? chayro... ultrasonic machines are the gold standard and the people who own them swear by their effectiveness ...Absolutely. Not only are they effective, but the best of them offer a convenient "one-button" solution to record cleaning, which mean... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? mitchagain I remember seeing an ad for a used FM tuner that could also receive satellite radio (Sirius/XM); but, I can’t remember which brand(s) it was. But, if your goal is to have as many listening options as possible, that could be a potentiall... |
