| Luxman 590axii ventilation Yes, I've had good luck with an Infinity fan on my Parasound Halo five channel amp. The fans are very quiet. | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Jico SAS stylus for my Shure cartridge. | |
| Helping a kid out Perhaps a used Vincent phono preamp. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? Several on AG have mentioned that using the house wiring can introduce noise into your system. Never tried it so not sure if this is true. | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? "If they have 5 to 10 levels of cable, be wary."Honest question, why? I guess they do that to appeal to every possible budget. That seems to be Morrow's marketingplan, constant upgrade up their line. | |
| thought on eBay? I try to avoid buying audio equipment on ebay. As mentioned above, ask questions and gauge the seller by his responses. Several years ago, I bought an Accuphase tuner on ebay. I asked a few questions. The seller was the original owner and really d... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I only have one Bluesound product, Node 2i. I was having problems with audio drop outs even with an extender wired to the Node. Now I have a Google Nest with one of the points across the room from the Node. That seems to have solved the problem fo... | |

| Good fix-- Have you scratched the wood on your Cornwall IVs? For flat black speaker scratches, spray a piece of cardboard with flat black paint. Then use a toothpick or auto touch up brush to fill the scratches. | |
| Panamax Power Conditioner: Keep or Upgrade I had a Panamax M5100 for several years. Replaced it with an Audioquest Niagara 1200. Furman is also a good option. | |
| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) Yes, I the Orchid is smoother, more of an analog sound compared to the built in DAC. That is not to say the highs are rolled off, they are not. I have not heard the Topping or Schiit DACs, but there are several mentions earlier in this thread. | |
