| What is the most common cause of dropouts when streaming Tidal? My Xfinity ISP tests at 120 Mbps via Ethernet and this still happens sometimes as described above, albeit much less frequently since moving my router/modem to my listening room with 1m Ethernet cable between my router/modem (Motorola MG7550) and A... | |
| What is the most common cause of dropouts when streaming Tidal? Hi randyhat, Been there but with my Aurender (not WiFI). This may help with troubleshooting:1) Run a speed test on your particular provider’s internet service when the problem occurs using a spare Ethernet output from your router/modem. IME, you n... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Hi david_ten,I violated the audiophile cardinal rule and changed speaker cables right after adding the ISO Regen. I figure late this week will be enough time for the new SCs to settle and for me to adjust, so I will do some with and without ISO Re... | |
| power for mc452 and c2600 Thank you pokey. It is as if the storm never occurred for us personally, excepting the USPS delays and the gas shortage.Many, many others have a very tough situation that will likely take years to recover from. Keep your thoughts and prayers on th... | |
| Full MQA music list. Totally get your frustration linnlingo. I think JayZ is actually promoting something else more than music per se and much of the "music" is only the vehicle. Once a week or so, I look at the "New" tab by genre to see what has been added. Jazz is b... | |
| Tech That Flopped! Re: liquid filled cables, I assume Randy means the Purist Audio Design cables. Bought two pair in the 1990’s (nicknamed "Texas Water Cables" by Stereophile).and they still sound very good. PAD is very much alive some 25 years later and continues t... | |
| Full MQA music list. Only a portion on the total MQA files available on Tidal are presented on the Masters tab. The remainder must be found by happenstance without that list above.linnlingo has a great point.Dave | |
| DIY power cord / cords - really good Hi Don,Please list the one's you have compared.Dave | |
| Tech That Flopped! That’s what I was trying to say Doug. One reason that there are not more time-aligned speakers is that there are not many designers (one?) left alive that can master the technological challenges of successfully implementing the first-order crossov... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Thank you blindjim. Much appreciated.I have the ISO Regen/UltraCap combo in house (finally). Initial impression is favorable. More heft in the bass and improved harmonic texture/richness on strings/piano/vocals. I will post more later after more t... | |
| Tech That Flopped! Erik,There are hybrid Camry's. Teslas are much more than just electric cars. Few will own them. Does that make them any less fine automobiles or less significant?I just can't grab the significance of the argument. Sorry.Dave | |
| Tech That Flopped! Hi Erik, Camry’s sell far better than Teslas. Bigger impact? Depends on your point of view.I was keying on your remarks about the sound not being anything special or similar. Time-aligned speakers require extreme attention to detail in setup and c... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Most excellent sounding speaker cables. Big Thumbs Up.Dave | |
| Tech That Flopped! Whew...Erik...buddy. I hate to say it but you are a good bit off on your statements about time-aligned speakers.You are welcome at my place anytime. Really.Dave | |
| MQA DAC or Not? You do know that the Tidal Masters are remastered for MQA, kalali?Dave |
