| Network streamer that works with Android and Pandora Why not just use Chromecast? It's integrated into the Pandora app, and my CXN shows up just fine. Functionality this should completely resolve your issue with any streamer using Chromecast. | |
| Any Cambridge users on Tidal? Differences in Tidal levels? I use wifi. Minimal issues especially with the last few firmware updates. Having said that, if I had an ethernet line in the room I would likely use that. | |
| Any Cambridge users on Tidal? Differences in Tidal levels? I like Tidal through the Cambridge app. It's not the most intuitive, but very easy once you know the quirks. But I cannot wait for the Tidal Connect integration with the CXN to go live. That should make use about as simple as it can get. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? A friend of mine moved from an 845 SET to a Norma solid state amp. I'd highly recommend looking into that line. | |
| External DAC for Cambridge CXN (V2) and Sony XA 5400 ES First shootout will be the Benchmark fed by the Cambridge digitally to my AR preamp via balanced interconnects against the Cambridge on it's analogue cables to my pre.I'll be interested to hear your findings as I've done a similar test but using R... | |
| VPI Shyla cartridge? And as far as the bundle goes, it doesn't seem like a bad deal. Particularly if you are interested in the ART9 and Nordost Blue Heaven (assuming that's what the cable based on). So $1200 cart + $700 cable = $1900. Yes, slightly above market value.... | |
| VPI Shyla cartridge? Do we have any hard evidence that this is an unmodified ART9 outside of color and branding? It's not like AT hasn't built variants of their carts to a manufactures design before (MoFi is a recent example). | |
| External DAC for Cambridge CXN (V2) and Sony XA 5400 ES Maybe a local dealer (if there are any left) would have one that could be tried.I would also love to try the Bryston, but dealers are one of their biggest challenges. I think it might be easier to find someone who owns one nearby to host then to f... | |
| VPI Shyla cartridge? you are paying a US$2000 premium for a rebadged Audio Technica ART9 which you can buy for a US1k and a better phono cableSo what phono cable would you get? If you had that same $2K budget for cart and cable, what would you grab? | |
| External DAC for Cambridge CXN (V2) and Sony XA 5400 ES I had the Benchmark DAC 3 in my system for a few weeks on loan (running into a Mastersound tube amp). I have CXN transport and CXN V2, and when running either into the DAC3 I found that although the DAC3 offered a very slight increase in detail, ... | |
| VPI Shyla cartridge? I'm also interested in listening impressions on this one. The package with this cart and the new VPI Prime 21+ is very intriguing. | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! once connected to my middle of the road components Don't under credit synergy. If speakers are well above the capabilities of electronics, it's possible that you're hearing the limitations and deficiencies of the electronics in this type of sce... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini + Ayre QB-9 Twenty Thanks for sharing! I haven't heard much about Ayre dacs, so it's good to have another quality option in the mix at this price range. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? This is interesting. I almost always see people saying Qobuz sounds better compared to Tidal, but the trade off is in the catalog and the functionality. | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Lots of good option in this range. Personally, I would purchase my Sutherland 20/20 if given the choice again, and at under $3K you can add the linear power supply within your budget. I haven't upgraded to the LPS yet, but it's on my radar. |
