| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I know my title is extreme and realize that many experience just as you. I could tell more differences between the different DACs I had over the years with the Node 2i. I went through Schiit Gumby and Yggy and then the AR DAC 8 and a 7. I suppo... | |
| Bluesound icon vs Nad c700 @spread5150 I would get a Node Nano. They are only $300 and Bluesound claims that the streaming portion is improved over older models. I used to have a Node 2i and those are still selling for about $250 so I was considering buying used. Their... | |
| Amp for the new Watt Puppy speakers @brandan I visited WA a few months ago and they had them playing with D'Agostino and were amazing. I am an Audio Research fan so would also think they would work well. What color were your Yvettes....I have been thinking about getting some. ... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 I had the exact same experience with the conductor app. It drove me nuts! I have AT&T fiber optic internet service and the ethernet cable going from my router to the A20. No other connection issues in my home over the Wi-Fi. ... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker I had a demo of Aerial Acoustics 7T and they were very impressive. It was a small-ish well treated room listening in the nearfield with high-end solid state electronics. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @yesiam_a_pirate It doesn't appear you have a subwoofer in your system. I have a pair HSU Research TN 1225 with his Model 500A amp. This system allows me to have easy access to the volume for the subs since the amp is with the rest of my gear.... | |
| I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms I am a middle-class audiophile and new ARC prices 5 years ago seemed like crazy expensive gear. My system is the only thing I really splurge on so buying used one generation back ARC gear is where I landed so spending about $15k on the gen 1 of t... | |
| Recommendation for tube preamp I have had great experiences with Audio Research over the past several years. I’ve always been curious about Conrad Johnson but haven’t ever heard any of their products. While the recommendations of an LS28 or REF 6 are great they don’t seem real... | |
| Sound of the DCS Bartok vs the DCS Rossini Player You would think this could get a few solid responses....surely someone out there has compared and is willing to write a few words. | |
| You read a lot about D'Agostino nowadays but little about Krell @taters @lalitk @audiolabyrinth @ebm @statman I was curious about this breakup from years past and ran across this old thread. It is cool to see how everyone had faith Dan would succeed and uhhh, holy crap has he! I mean these products t... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk Do you have the Analogue Productions 45rpm of L.A. Woman? Wondering about it vs the new UHQR. I have a 1971 standard release that is clean and plays quiet but does not sound good. I streamed it last night and that HR version from my A... | |
| dCS Bartok vs Aurender A20 I have not! The closest I came was taking my A20 over to a guys house with a Bartok non Apex to compare. We were rushed and he also had a separate streamer that I forgot the brand. We both thought it was very close but truly did not spend enough ... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? I prefer bananas, but never feel like they make the connection that spades do For the same reasons like others have stated. I only buy used equipment so when I got my transparent cable, most of what I found were spade to spade My older Wilson spe... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk Thanks for the heads up on LA Woman...am considering tonight(with scotch) You haven't commented on the Bill Evans so that worries me you were not impressed with the UHQR in comparison to your Riverside Recordings copies. | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @lalitk oh boy! now I feel the pressure!!! |
