| Another one (server) bites the dust! @budburma It's a nice match for my pure Class A amp and Harbeth speakers, which is clearly a warm setup. Never gets muddy nor too sharp, always clear and warm to me. But both Aurenders are very dependent on the sound of the DAC you have or choos... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! I also had a vault and upgraded to Aurender. I purchased the N200 over the N10, I felt the N200 had some valuable upgrades done to it and the N10 has now been out for a while. I also loved the fact that I could put my own two drives in. That said... | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? One opinion here - No. There is always something to improve and advance the state of the art. I purchased a five year old DAC that was rated A+ at the time. Now it's not even in the competition. I think it's great, but will probably upgrade in ano... | |
| Weird and funny songs So many from Monty Python. But the ones I'd recommend are 'Every Sperm is Sacred" , "The Lumberjack Song", "Sit on my Face and the "Always look on the Bright Side of Live.... Funny with a hint of truisms. | |
| ATC SCM40s- would you get subs? My speakers go down to 35 and I still added a sub, it made a big difference. As for set up properly, It's simple, when the sub works/sounds/blends seamlessly with your main speakers, it's as if you don't even have a sub. I myself got a JL Audio su... | |
| Demagnetize CDs Gillette foamy works great, but you need to use the three bladed razors, the two bladed ones leave stubble. | |
| binding posts You need to remove the metal plates if you biwire or biamp. You only need the plates if you run one set of wires into the speakers. Also, not only do you defeat the purpose of running the speaker bi- if you don't remove them, you can damage the sp... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? @oddiofyl @lalitk My story is just about the same as you guys. I went with Bluesound first and upgraded to Aurrender. No regrets. Have found no need to use Roon. | |
| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? @jgfergus Nice! I have three of the four. But I don't recognize the bottom left one though. | |
| Wondering... @jasonbourne52 Nope. I have not spent tens of thousands, but I can easily hear the difference between DACs, AMPs, Headphones, Cartridges, CD players and streamers (oh wait, those last two are sources just like cartridges!). I do have a harder ti... | |
| Wondering... @ghdprentice +1 on everything you said. Great advice all around. | |
| Choosing an integrated for low volume listening I own the 590AXII and yes, I used the loudness at low volumes, and it does work wonders. Spearkers are Harbeth. But are you asking for a better set up then you have now or just other combinations? | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp It is beautiful. Enjoy! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? There's a full Moon in Paris tonight....... Amber Rubarth, I started with Sessions, move on to Good Mystery, after that probably put a mix of other female songwriters/singers on. | |
| The Music Room Erie CO Haven't used them yet, but I did the same thing you did, moved from a Vault to an N200. It was a really nice upgrade. Enjoy! |
