Aurender Conductor App
jscottm What I find most frustrating is in trying to download music files from a usb drive to the Aurender. If I have a large batch of files to download all at once and one of the files is corrupted the whole batch download fails. The easi... 
Amp, Preamp, two volume pots, there can be only one!

I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming

carlsbad2 ... Now the audio system will plug directly into the modem ... For all kinds of reasons, including security and the ability to set static IP addresses, the only thing I plug into my cable modem is a router. I have Comcast and hav...

New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection?
atmasphere I've not once anywhere on the web made the claim as you suggest above ... Here is what you wrote: When you run a cartridge balanced, it supports the standard. So no increase in gain. If you run a cartridge "balanced" (technicall... 
Why do we demand so much from our systems?
