| Music Server Advice I'll add that the vinyl versions do not always sound better than the digital stream! As I acquire more vinyl it's appearing as if more record labels are capitalizing on the resurgence of vinyl and releasing vinyl just for the sake of releasing vin... | |
| Music Server Advice I use Roon to explore "new to me" jazz artists, usually from Europe. If I like it I'll search to see if it's on vinyl and if so I purchase it. (Discogs, Bandcamp, etc.) You'd be surprised how much music is actually available on vinyl, but not sold... | |
| Music Server Advice I agree with you jaybe that the N10 sounds much better than my present setup. However, I do a lot of exploring on Roon to find vinyl releases and it is critical that I keep this function. I'm considering keeping Roon through another pseudo-system ... | |
| Triangleart Maestro For anyone considering the TriangleArt Maestro, I own the Maestro/Osiris package, and while a little on the gaudy side to me, which initially turned me off, it is much less so in person, and visitors to my music room fall in love with the looks an... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Since I'm strictly a Jazz analog guy:1. Charlie Rouse - Epistrophy: The last Concert - Round' Midnight (Landmark Records LLP-1521) Exceptional live recording. The Vibes and Piano can be a torture test on many systems actually to the point ... | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? Absolutely, yes! My V4's were marvelous sounding. Traded for Levinson after combining dedicated audio and home theater into one room. Regret getting rid of them every time I listen to music. | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith I too had similar frustrations with my Innous Zen and purchased an Auralic Altair. Since I'm primarily an Analog guy I didn't stress too much about trying to surpass the performance of the Zen which I really liked. I enjoy the Auralic as much or b... | |
| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers Thanks, oldears. I've "Put in a request for help" a couple of days ago. I learned my upgrade lesson with MAC and wait a while before upgrading. I was so excited about the upcoming 2.0 that I upgraded to 1.4.8 before waiting a bit to see if others... | |
| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers oldears, My Zen MKII is now dead after an attempted upgrade to 1.4.8. What did they do to get up running again?Mike | |

| Kiseki Purple Heart vs Clearaudio Stradavari Xagwell, I know this thread is a little old, but I just purchased the exact combo you mentioned. I have a Clearaudio Innovation Wood with Universal 9 tonearm with VTA lift and a Kiseki Purple Heart NS. Still breaking in the cartridge with @ 10 hou... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Due to injury suffered in the military, nerve damage, I have used HA (Both ears - diminished hearing @ 3k hz dropping drastically above that) since 2004. Compliments of the VA, who get an undeserved bad rap, the benefit has been like removing a ha... | |
| Confused Musical Presentation Thanks to everyone for your input. I'll take all into consideration and report back later.Mike | |
| Confused Musical Presentation One thing is absolutely true is that I CANNOT discern audible ques in a crowded environment! Which leads me to believe that I'm still in denial of the fact that no matter the quality of the hearing aids they WILL NEVER replace or be equal to natur... | |
| Confused Musical Presentation I'll also look into Room treatment which was actually my next solution to explore. But this too appears as complicated as gear selection. Really don't want to spend over 2-3K on a solution. |
