Node X
I'm surprised that Apple Music would sound best via Chromecast. I don't think the BlueSound Node does Chromecast.  I did a chat with Audio Advisor about the sound and the response was that the sound would break in and open up. It's not bad now, j... 
Node X
@mahler123 Wireless. The room where I inserted it is not anywhere close to where my router is so I cannot use an ethernet cable. The MXN10 was/is a very new product so it might be some time before Audio Advisor gets it. I had no issue with either ... 
Node X
I just set it up and it sets up very easily. The app basically does the work. Huge difference from the Cambridge Audio experience.   
Maggie LRS amping question
I look at the LRS as a gateway drug. If you start thinking that maybe you can get better sound, you'd better have the money. I quickly went from the LRS to the .7s to Spatial Audio Lab's X5s. That's a geometric progression money-wise and that does... 
Node X
I will. I still work so it will take a say or two to get it into my system.  
Node X
I'm in that boat. I've ordered it and it should come tomorrow. I haven't streamed before but want the opportunity to try. I previously tried out the Cambridge Audio MXN10 but that didn't work well for me. Anyway, I ordered from Audio Advisors beca... 
Question about wpc on tube amps
While I agree that 10 watts of tube amp does not equal 100 watts of SS power, I'm not sure about the idea that tube amps won't work with Magnepan speakers though the small budget would be a problem unless something used can be found.  Here is ano... 
Danny Richie on loudspeaker design.
Danny’s video was a response to Jay’s Iyagi’s video and clarified or corrected things Jay was saying. I think Danny made it very clear that when people send in a speaker to him, they are doing so because there is something that needs fixing and he... 
Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
@tonykay I saw Romeo Void live back in the day and it was one of the best concerts I remember seeing. The guitar, bass and drums were just locked in and could create incredible tension just with dynamics since there really wasn't any solos played ... 
What's your picks
@grislybutter I like your chart as I own 2 of the 5 boutique speakers (Nola and Spatial). Plus I've listened to and like the Buchardt and Totem speakers. I haven't seen or heard Fritz speakers.   
Sachs owners near me?
Don is somewhere in California I think.   
Suggestions for Phono Preamp
Thanks for the update. Many of the phono preamps mentioned in this thread have received excellent reviews and remarks from their owners. I found that the PS Audio Stellar ticked all the boxes I had laid out with excellent reviews and remarks from ... 
Unique Piano Peaceful Beauty
Try Chopin. My favorite is Prélude No. 4 in E minor, Op. 28/4  
Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2?
My two cents but not about the Billie.  There is a lot of good stuff out there and the price points seem to be dropping for better stuff. However, the other factor with the reviewers is that they are getting products to review from some manufactu... 
Thinking about another amplifier (Galion)
@veerossi Just doing a quick look, the "bankruptcy" isn't filed under Federal law, it is in Minnesota under state law. Companies use these reorganization statutes to deal with debt that they can't handle sometimes to slow things down. Creditors ha...
