| Ethernet Switch Try putting a good audiophile ethernet switch right in front of your streamer. It can make a huge difference in a resolving system. Examples are GTT Audio Dejitterit, JCAT M12 gold or Premium and Network Acoustics Tempus. I have had all of thes... | |
| A Great Retailer Story IMHO I had two very recent experiences with Music Direct, both extremely favorable. I was considering a new Shunyata Denali V2. I kept reading and deciding...then the sale ended (20% off)! Oh No!... I called Music Direct and asked if they would honor... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Thanks hcow! I do enjoy Salty Dog! So much good stuff I agree with everyone (except maybe the Peter Cetera thing) :) I just keep finding songs I like and adding them to my playlist. I have about a thousand I shuffle through, and often stop an... | |
| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? Hello, I have been + / - on power conditioners for years. I now have three systems; two in my home and one in a vacation home, of decreasing cost and resolution. My mountain home has big power outages and storms, and I had a very old Panamax uni... | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner Hi, So I did some comparing of the Everest and the Denali V2 on Shunyata's website. I had pretty much thought they were very similar except the Everest has 8 outlets vs 6 for the Denali V2, and of course the style difference as to where you plac... | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner …at the Lake house I used the Denali to power my Soulnote A2 integrated amp, Auralic Altair streaming DAC, AND CD player. The amp showed no issues being run through the Denali, only clearer sounding. | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner Hello @moto_man, about a month ago I ordered a Denali v2 while 20% off from music direct. I got it to take to my weekend home which has much more power outages and thunder storms. Since it was delivered to my main house, I decided to try it out ... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS I agree @ossicle2brain. I have an extensive hard drive with files from standard CD's to DSD. But my streaming is so highly optimized that is not always true that local sounds better than a high rez stream from Qobuz. I love Bela and Cosmic Hip... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS It has been fun hearing everybody's "favorite sounding songs that they like''. Is that fair to say?? My only intention here was that some music (that I like) sounds better than other music (that I like). There have been many great suggestions ... | |
| Diving into balanced +3 on 1 meter. I did the .5m thing and needed to replace them eventually. Some cables, esp power cables, perform better at 1.75 to 2m. | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS yes +1 on The Ragpicker's Dream @jimintally also 'The Scaffolder's Wife'! | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS So (@roxy54) I do like to keep a short playlist called Demo, where I listen to the 'sound first' on music I enjoy and know well. I think it is very useful when evaluating a new piece of equipment. Here are a few from memory: Anette Askvik 'Lib... | |

| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS NO not true. I am music first and listen to what I LIKE. But I like much of Dire and much of Mark. And it sounds great. I LOVE and listen to old Genesis, Yes, Tull Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Dead, Jackie Greene, Cheeze, Buckethead ect. as well a... | |
| Solo streamer When you upgrade it is nice to leave a little 'upside buffer'. The N200 gives him this. If he CHOOSES to upgrade the DAC one day, at least the streamer will be ready. And to many ears, the N200 does sound better than the N150. So leave the man... |
