If my Kenwood KD decks can't be repaired?
pindac In English used in the UK, a 'doddle' is a task that is achieved with minimum effort or concern.  Thank you! British English is so much more "colourful" than U.S.  English, imo. "Two countries divided by a common language." (George B... 
WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad
sgreg1 Wifi does work but no matter what you do wifi can only carry so much of the 1’s and 0’s. It isn’t clear what you mean here. Properly functioning wifi is bit-perfect, right? To be clear, I use wired ethernet to connect to my stream... 
Best streamer for a returning audio guy
Atwodogs112 I can afford whatever I wish to buy, if I so choose. A simple question for you, how many Rolex watches do you own? I have 3. In addition to a collection of fine timepieces you probably could only dream of. I wouldn’t put a Rolex on...

    havocman audioTroy, the forums are not the place for you to be pushing and selling your crap, if you want to do that go into the regular audiogon sales area and push your stuff and the moderator should know better than to let peo... 
Voltage regulators and input impedance
Excess heat will shorten he life of any electronics, including tubes. I easily get 2,000 hours on the 6550 in my Ref 5SE, and the tubes are still working when I replace it out of caution.  
Cable curmudgeon
wesheadley I really didn’t mean to rile up the MAGA loving or the placebo-denying crowd ... Huh? The only one who seems riled up here is you. I’m just pointing out the obvious ... No, you're engaging in a silly argument. Please don't pre...

Aurender Conductor App
lordmelton Switch off your router, switch back on after 10-15s. Go to settings in app, click Aurender at the top and ADD Aurender. Exaclty as you did when you first got it. I believe something has changed with your internet/IP address. That... 
Cable curmudgeon
wesheadley The reason I’m cable critical is because of the industry’s long history of false claims and rampant over-charging. So you’ve developed a self-justified righteous indignation, which you then believe entitles you to act as judge, ju... 
Aurender N100 or X100?
  artemus_5 So the question would be, does this major problems take place when the unit is shut down or not in use? No, it was only a problem when the power failed during use. Momentary power interruptions are not uncommon where I live, so... 
Aurender N100 or X100?
I had an N100H that I bought new and it was a disaster. Its biggest problem was that even a momentary power outage caused major problems. While many praise Aurender support, I found it sorely lacking. I dumped the streamer (at a loss, of course) i... 
What difference do power cables make?
  1971gto455ho I don’t fault a person for believing what they hear. That’s just not true. Here’s what you wrote in this very thread just a few hours before: Love this power cord for dummy’s stuff again and again. By the way, given ... 
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
pryso ... when J Gordon Holt was chief cook and bottle washer at Stereophile he reviewed the then-new Bose 901 ... He did not rate them highly. That is not true. You can read the review for yourself here. The review concluded: "If we were ... 
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
  g_nakamoto back in the 70's, the 901's were advertised as 'cadillac quality in a volkswagon space!!  Not in the US. Here, they were marketed as premium products that were the product of Dr. Bose and "Better sound through researc... 
What difference do power cables make?
    lalitk ... try 2-5 cable brands in your budget that offers return policy. What I hear in my system with power cables may not be true in your case. The short answer is, power cables do make a difference. Excellent advice: Try before you...
