| Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys Capn’ Swanky- I don’t know anything about the Vidar- I actually haven’t heard of it. Believe those who say you’ll want/need power- it’s good advice. With your budget range and hookup needs you may be better off starting with an integrated. I’ve ... | |
| eero mesh WiFi system @shtr74sims I ran an Alien on the second floor of my house with a NG Powerline in my audio room for about 6 years. Two weeks ago I added a second Alien (as a mesh) in the audio room (needed more ports) and removed everything else. The up/down s... | |

| Comments on the Berkeley Alpha DAC 2 I’ve never used the Alpha Dac- can you give a description of the filter settings? | |
| eero mesh WiFi system @zachariah Are you mimicking me? 🤔 | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection @cooper52 I’m not familiar with the Hermes as I don’t own one but in quickly scanning the specs there is mention of using “Volumino” as an alternative to allow the use of Qobuz. Maybe this will allow you to stream Qobuz via the Hermes w/o having... | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV @davehg What playback/storage device are you using? I’ve heard the metadata comment before but I’ve heard that there are some that have found various workarounds as well. Can’t say for sure as I have (thankfully) not had a drive failure in years. | |

| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... @hilde45 😆 I warned you on the second post of the thread in question to be careful or you may stir the wrath of “ “ (I dare not say the name). | |
| HDMI from TV for longish run to stereo system Not sure what you consider expensive to be but here is one that should work. 30’ is really not that far. You can do fiber as well just be prepared to protect it. HDMI cable w/boost | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? @alvinnir2 Not sure exactly how it got started but that is what I had heard when I first asked the question. When I first started learning I always tuned the guitar to my folks piano only to walk back to my room, put on a record to play along wi... | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? When I was younger I played guitar constantly- rarely was A440 tuning used. Most rock guitar players followed the 1/4 step down tuning- others standard. It was all about the range of the vocalists. There are many others as well- Drop D and open tu... | |
| DSD Remastering Software Experience I’m now using an R2R DAC that can upsample or I can use in NOS mode and I prefer the latter @soix Which Dac are you using that performs in both capacities? It seems I’ve read about this in the past but can’t seem to recall who builds it. | |
