| Is Aurender N10 still a good option I upgraded from Bluesound to the N200 and love the N200. I used the same PS Audio DAC on both of them. I know I could probably get even more from the N200 if I upgraded the DAC now. I did look at the N10, but decided to get get the latest from A... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K I have Harbeth 30.2 and had a McIntosh integrated which in my opinion did not match well. I switched to a Luxman 590AXii class A and it’s a keeper. Close in sound to tubes, plenty of power (Luxman under rates their power.) I understand your commen... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app They seemed to have changed things in V4 that worked fine in V3. whoever is in charge of their product management should be fired. You don’t fix what isn’t broken. And I haven’t seen any real-worthwhile improvements either. someone there doesn’t k... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? I find it very easy to tell the difference between DACs and I am not some golden ear guy. But as you read in several replies, some can and some cannot tell the difference. Would save me a lot of money if I couldn’t, but I can. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. I'll respond in a different way. When I brought my first good system back in 1979, nothing too fancy, but it sounded great (Marantz receiver, Advent speakers, Pioneer turntable with Shure M95 cart.) - you would call it a low-end audiophile system ... | |
| Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM? @Yage and @Carlsbad2 are correct. The SSD's are for storing the music, not the OS. I have 30+ Years in IT and also own a N200 and love it. I am using two 5TB SSD's. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature I went with Class A and personally, I don't miss the tubes. I can listen immediately and it warms up in just minutes anyway. Hot even, but not as bad as tubes. You also can up the power for much less cost. I might get hate mail for saying this, w... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Both @johnread57 @mrdecibel are spot on. Speakers first, and then have him listen to the music he likes and enjoys already. I'll explain why: First, speakers make more of a difference to newbie's then electronics. Second, a good friend of mi... | |
| Technics 1200 MK3D I sold the technics 1200 series a while back. Good turntable. It's more of a DJ table then an audiophile one, but it's well built and the tonearm can handle most cartridges. Do not use the mixer. It will not improve the sound at all and most likel... | |
| 1954 Klipschorn Sound Reproducer value??? Do you have two of them or just the one? | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. Went to a Friend's birthday party in New Jersey back in the early 70's and he had a band he knew playing at his party. Some bearded guy sung with a backup band named the E Street Band. They were good. I heard they made it big. | |

| Please help me to define diagnosis of the following illness. I sometimes go through phases, right now I am not listening to any Classical or Jazz, although I like those genre's just fine and will hop on those bandwagons for months at a time. The only genre that seems to only last a few albums is Death Met... | |
| Any Experience with Furman-IT Reference 20i? I brought a Furman 15I back in January, you can search for the thread and what I thought of it. All positive. I agree with @erik_squires - I got the 15 because I didn't have a 20amp circuit. You may want to double check that you do. | |
| Album Covers & Inserts Just do a search on the album(s) and click ‘image’ on your browser, you’ll find cover art you can download and print. Amazon has plenty of album art. |
