| Need Preamp and Amp to Match Vandersteen 3A Signature Speakers McCormack amps are also known to sound good with the 3a sigs. When I had them I drove them with a DNA-0.5 Deluxe and they sounded fantastic. | |
| Spotify,Tidal,Qobuz ??? @ptss, The album/piece/performer info is what Roon is all about. | |
| Why can't I find a definition for DSM on a web search? This page (https://www.facebook.com/pg/DSMMusicDSM/about/?ref=page_internal) indicates that it stands for "Different Sort of Music." It doesn't, however, say what's different about it and, since a lot of music is different, it's not very helpful e... | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services @reubent is correct. Here is a quote directly from RP's web page." We are very pleased to announce our highest-fidelity stream ever. CD-quality FLAC audio is now available in our free iPhone and Android apps, and our apps for AppleTV and FireTV... | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services @rvpiano, The app is really only useful if you're going to listen through headphones (which I do also) but I use a Logitech Squeezebox Touch with the RP plugin installed. That allows me to stream RP through my main system. Whatever you are using... | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services @rvpiano I use Spotify and I tried the Tidal service but (so far) have not made the jump (some of the news about Tidal's long term viability still concerns me). One thing you can try (in addition to the free Tidal trial) is to stream Radio Paradi... | |
| Another basic newbie question. I think you'll be surprised at what your ears pick up after you've been listening to the system for a while. There are all kinds of subtleties to good sound and your ears will begin to sort them out. I remember in the early days thinking "Oh, th... | |
| Another basic newbie question. n80, some source components (e.g., CD players) DO have balanced (XLR) outputs and that is what you would use these for. Others can chime in on the relative merits of balanced vs single-ended (SE) connections between components but, basically, bal... | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. @n80 Atmasphere is on the mark when he tells you to let the system play for a while before making judgments about the bass. I can tell you that the surrounds on those woofers will need some time to loosen up if they've been sitting idle for a whi... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @route-66 Yes, I had forgotten about that one. There are quite a few options at different price points and with different features. Digital audio is also a fast-moving animal so new options are appearing all the time. If you don't already know ... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @route-66 I understand. There CAN be lots of parts to a digital setup but I suppose that's true of analog as well (table, tonearm, cartridge, phono preamp, cables). I'm using a Logitech Touch but those are only available used anymore. Many peop... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @route-66 By itself, the Brooklyn doesn't stream from the internet so that's why you're confused about the connection. It converts the digital stream from other devices to analog (and acts as a preamp if desired). Probably the simplest setup (fr... | |

| Styx cover of album Mission to Mars is a Turntable! Doug, Just took a look at it on Amazon (much better picture). Very cool! | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars Glad you found the information you were looking for. FWIW, from the graph in figure 4 of the measurements section, you can see that the -3dB point would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 44-46 Hz. |
