| verification by cellphone That’s great news. | |
| Nobosound Springs I put them under my Harbeth 30.2’s and heard a nice improvement also. Have not tried them with my turntable as I am using another type for my turntable. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I once told a neighbor I spent $1,200.00 on speakers (peanuts for most audiophiles) and he was shocked and told everyone. So, never again. Especially now that my latest pair are closer to $10k. And I also learned not to ask my wife how much her p... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player I own the N200 and love it for streaming and storage. And I like to “own” my favorite music. Two reasons, I have a lot of live shows that are not available on streaming, and the internet does go down once in a while. I copy all my cds though my co... | |
| HDD to SSD migration and capacity? You can put 1.81 TB on it, there is no headroom needed. No damage is done if you run out of space to put new music on it. And it does not make the SSD unstable. The only reason you need to leave a little headroom is for PC apps and programs as the... | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? @heretobuy Two personal observations, if you read the 'positive' reviews closely, you can sense they do not really like it, but yes, they don't want to piss off an advertiser. I always look for reviewers that buy the equipment or the equipment t... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? I sold something last year and low-balled myself. Can't win for trying! | |
| Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature? @audiocanada @oddiofyl I have the Aurender N200 for about 4 months. Love it. The 100h is a good deal, but if you want to store your digital music on it, make sure 2TB is enough for you. Yes, 2TB is a lot of music, but I managed to collect more a... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 As someone who did something similar to what you are doing….. I moved from the bluesound to an outboard DAC with the bluesound, to an Aurender and each time there was a worthwhile improvement. I also agree with @ghdprentice and @oddiofyl . I know... | |
| Speaker upgrade Listen to more speakers and listen to your three favorite songs, one from each genre. The advice above from @ghdprentice @doyle3433 Doyle is solid. It’s going to be hard to find the perfect speaker for all three genre’s in my experience. | |
| Speaker placement in a room with the best performance if it is close to a wall? I have the same problem, I also suggest “bookshelves” size speakers and a sub(s), which is the way I went. Also, either sealed cabinets or ones with the port in the front. | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @jasonbourne52 Your mention of having DCM Time Windows and the Ohm made my day. I use to sell them way back when. Great speakers. The Time Windows blew my mind. Haven't heard them in too many years to count, but they would give many speakers today... | |
| Odd subwoofer question. All good suggestions, I went with JL Audio due to their DSP built in. Really helps match the sub to your room and other speakers. The size of the room is critical. I had to go with their ten inch as my room was just too a bit too small for the 12 ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Finally listening to Bruce Cockburn's Bone on Bone, from 2017, so guess I'm still catching up on the 'teens! Just sooooo much good music out there. Great album. Great music. Well recorded. | |
| JBL model L150 woofer cone color question I sold these JBL’s a long while back and never saw JBL black woofers. We also saw a lot of blown JBL speakers, usually someone who had a lower powered amp they turned up to high. I would say they were replaced. If they are JBL replacements, no rea... |
