| NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect Thanks flrun24. My setup (and file storage) are pretty basic. My work laptop files get automatically backed up to my company's cloud (and every time I make a change to any document locally it syncs with the cloud), and my wife and I really do... | |
| NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect Thanks everybody. I ordered this one a few minutes ago. I'll attach my 4TB external USB HDD to it and make regular backups. Synology DiskStation 4TB DS118 1-Bay NAS Enclosure Kit with Seagate NAS Drives (1 x 4TB)I appreciate the advice, I t... | |
| NAS with RAID for streaming to Sonos Connect I just did some reading in the forum archives and see where RAID is not really meant for backup, so I withdraw that criterion. With that in mind I am thinking about something along the lines of WD My Cloud, and periodically back it up to an ext... | |
| Want to rip my CD collection to a NAS and play through Sonos Connect. Need advice Thanks nekoaudio, I think I was making things more difficult than they needed to be. I ended up getting a USB hub and a 4TB external HDD. Using iTunes to rip to the drive using Apple Lossless. Added the new drive to Sonos and I am mak... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question Thanks mr_m, my integrated amp doesn't have a tape loop, but I understand the function of the crossover. I was looking at some external crossovers, like the one that B&W sell, and at $3k it would be more than I have in all the rest of my c... | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks Steve! I will try this test tomorrow. I appreciate the info.Eric | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks williewonka, The Music-Hall mmf-5.3 has a dual-plinth setup (made of MDF) So I think I am good there. Thanks for the links to the ball-bearing footers... that looks like something I could do. I think Herbie's also has something s... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... Thanks Eddy. What did you upgrade to, after the Okki-Nokki?Also, nice shovelhead (I think... hard to tell from the small pic but looks like a pan bottom-end with a shovel top... I had the same setup in the ’80s). | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Update: I ended up getting some new components, all from Music-Hall. And I am really glad I did. I got the mmf-5.3 TT, bought a Herbie's mat, and have been really enjoying my old records.I have been following some record-cleaning threads,... | |
| Turntable / cartridge (and isolation) to match my pre-amp, speakers and room Thanks Greg, and sorry to be so late in replying. I ended up going with the Music-Hall mmf-5.3. According to the owner’s manual, it does indeed have a VTA adjustment and an azimuth adjustment. The dealer set it up for me, but I have a test LP reco... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question Well, I did a bunch of A-B listening, and decided the sub-woofer was not adding enough to the sound to make it worth the cost, and the prospective cost and effort of running a cable under the floor from my amp to the sub, so I returned it for stor... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... @mambacfa: I am not 100% sure that I do not have *any* static, but I do notice a difference after changing my method of cleaning, therefore I am sure that cleaning has a significant effect, and that I can further refine the cleaning process so as ... | |
| If you had to choose between Okki-Nokki and Pro-Ject record cleaners.... OK I called the store and found out I was mistaken... they carry Okki-Nokki and Nitty-Gritty... they must have a thing for rhyming names :)So let me re-ask the original question. Between Okki-Nokki and similarly-priced Nitty-Gritty, are there s... | |

| Sub-woofer connection question That's what I was wondering about, and why I tried the speaker-wire connection first. I was hoping that if I used the sub in parallel with the satellites, that the highs and mids would go one way and the lows would go the other way (to the sub).I... |
