| Are current audio cable designs superior to 1980s designs? @mahlman..."Seriuosly now copper is copper ...Respectfully disagree, particularly when comparing low grade grainy copper to higher grade purity OFC or smooth OCC copper within interconnects and speaker cables. On a revealing audio system it expos... | |
| Are current audio cable designs superior to 1980s designs? Older AQ cables from the later 1980s mostly tended to lobb thick generic copper strands together thus blurring the results, IMO. Today in some of the better AQ lines, they do source nice copper from a well known provider and design changes with ad... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? @azbrdI use a Node 2 and as suggested multiple times in this thread connect it to an external higher end dac, in my case a Schiit YGGDRASIL. What ever DAC you chose to go with make sure its upgrade-able.I wonder if some folks do not understand dig... | |
| A question for those of you with the album Momentary Lapse of Reason @baclaggIs it actually at the very beginning first 1-3 seconds of Terminal Frost, kinda sounds like a raspy whale whistle in the ocean that reverberates a little with slight overtones? i.e. sorta like slide-scraping a guitar pick down three string... | |

| GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936? @tgstaplesLooking a bit closer at your amp, MOSFETs, that’s a very nice amp you have there. Known to drive many speakers well. I’d have no problem putting any of the speakers listed so far behind that amp with the caveat of ensuring a nice neutral... | |
| GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936? @tgstaplesI’ve heard both, I’m a big AMT fan in my own custom build speakers, and GE did a decent job with their HVFR tweeter implementation and they added internal subs as you know. I helped my sister with the Focal 936 for her integrated tube sy... | |
| GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936? @tgstaplesWhat electronics were used to power/demo each of the speakers?Did they have them connected with a decent preamp/amp, good interconnects, decent speakers cables -or- a low grade speaker switcher and limited electronics - sometimes the cas... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? @cio52 06-15-2020 10:46amThis does seem to be an open forum on streamers and operating systems. I would like to know if anyone likes or dislikes the Play-FI operating system? I use Play-Fi. It’s fair to "okay", evolving slightly each year with upd... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? @Larry5729I purchased an external DAC with my Node 2i and preferred the Node 2i played by itself. Bass was better with just the Node 2i and I thought the imaging was also better. ...That can happen if an inferior or equivalent external apples-to-a... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? @feldmen4It amazes me how people start a thread and then buy an item before they have received all the feedback from the community and then complain about the audience not following the thread closely enough...And, I've seen no rules indicating re... | |

| Integrated Amp $1200 or less @b_limo, yes, moving away from this $1200 amp thread to a DAC thread makes sense..Those other Node2i links above may only be helpful if you choose to add-on a DAC and bypass your internal DAC in the Bluesound Node2i.FYI: In the Node2i, and other G... | |
