| Your experience with these power cables? @jsbach1685 , Audience just introduced a F5 power cord. I’m going to order one when I can and compare it to the F3’s I already have. All the best. JD | |
| Bluesound 2i coaxial output sound quality @wlutke , Will adding $500 worth of upgrades to a $500 streamer give you better than a $1000 streamer? I bought the new Node and got a bad one and sent it back and am waiting for a replacement. As I am waiting, I’m wondering if I could do better... | |
| Cascade Noise Burn-In V2 I didn’t receive anything yet. I must be on another email cycle. JD | |
| PRIMARE SC15 (or NP5+DAC) or ARCAM ST60 or...??? Oh, There is a Primare FB page , that might be helpful to you. All the best. JD | |
| PRIMARE SC15 (or NP5+DAC) or ARCAM ST60 or...??? I just stumbled upon the NP5. It looks interesting, but by the time you include a dac, I’m thinking the Node 2 might be the more affordable option. I have a dac , but I’m still not sure about this one. All the best. JD | |

| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why?

| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? Last time I used JRiver, Hi-Res didn’t exist. 😀 I guess I’ll have to see what all it does these days. Oh drat, there isn’t an iOS app for it yet. Guess I’ll have to fire up the laptop. | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @yyzsantabarbara , What is the FM station you speak of? Are they online? I’d be very interested. Thanks. JD | |
| Audio nonsense @bigbrox , There was a big BOOM and our electricity just went out. You think I could borrow that new generator of yours??🤪 No really, we’re going to buy one this week. Sigh, JD | |
