| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity @soix I would spend money on a good streamer to get Bluetooth compatibility while maintaining SQ for when I listen to my HiRes sources 😊 | |
| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity @jond @soix I was unaware of the ability to Bluetooth to my Innuos. That would definitely be easiest. I will have to look into that once I get home from my vacation. Do either of you know if this is a definite option? | |
| Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity I am a very lucky guy :-) I use android, but will definitely look for an Apple device to AirPlay through. Thanks to both of you! | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound +1 on Charney Audio Concerto with the AER BD-3 drivers. Super efficient and awesome sound. Get a nice flea watt Set and enjoy audio heaven. I have the Companions with the AER and a couple of SVS subs and could not be happier in my 24x32 ft with ... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? I have not heard it. I used to live close (relatively) to Nashville. When first getting into upper MidFi/HiFi audio, COVID was just starting so I did not get a chance to visit any brick and mortar shops, but worked with Atelier 13 Audio. Constanti... | |
| Did I Expect too much? @langla4 @larryi Yes, there is a BD5. 36,000€. EACH If you want to go crazy, there is no BD 6, but there is a BD 7 Statement. At 160,000€ EACH, one would definitely be making a statement, lol | |
| Did I Expect too much? @larryi I own a pair of Excaliburs with the AER BD 3. Sounds great. Have you heard the AER BD 5? I would be too scared that I would get the upgrade itch, but could never see myself spending that kind of money on a speaker. Of course, perhaps I ... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? @stuartk LOL, yeah, I saw that. Mine had no wood option/RCA barrel. Mine were metal, but they attached a smaller/narrower RCA connector for my Exogal Comet, which had the RCA jacks VERY close together. Cheers David | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? LOL, no. Maybe. My set was gold plated copper. I purchased in 2019. I thought, wood? I looked at their website. Looks like they cover the connector with wood. Why, I don't know. My connections are in the rear and no one would see them. They are gr... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? I used LessLoss IC before I went to XLR cabling. They made me a custom pair with narrow RCA jacks for no additional price increase. An expensive, though not outlandish, quality IC. | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps @riie Of course, that depends on how level your shelf is LOL | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps @inagroove noted: "With that said, both boxes have single-ended connections as well to appeal to a broader marked. Why? Many sources are single-ended (ex. my Zest phono-pre is single ended output only, so the cable going into the ARC line-pre mu... | |
| Directional wires/cables cundare2. Do Tell!! | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps +1 maxdukecapone I own the Arik Audio Motherload XL. Balanced following the AES48 standard, also with RCA. It is a well made, beautifully sounding pre-amp. And dead quiet. I have two amps, the Atmasphere Class D (a beautiful pairing) as well as ... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I am fortunate and know both my UPS & FedEx drivers. They do good work, and yes, have way more deliveries than they should each day. Even though, when it is a very expensive item I have found having the delivery sent to a corporate store to be... |
