| mystery muffled mids Hey OP - can you clarify is it just LZ or pretty much all classic rock. MC’s theory might be right if it’s just LZ but if it’s all/most/ a significant portion of classic rock then his theory doesn’t work. I know MC has a strong bias against stream... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? @tony1954 - Let me guess - when you saw Zevon everyone was sitting in there seat passively watching? I saw him many many times - he got into it like crazy when folks were up on their feet dancing and just jamming out (later in his career he only ... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? @cakyol - the OP had asked if hardwiring from a wireless access point would be better than just using WiFi straight to the Node 2i. My point was that in both of these set-ups the signal travelled through WiFi so expecting one to be better than the... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! @russ69 - OP said, “I am now looking for a simple, enjoyable, good sounding and maybe all in one system to play mostly digital music. Any recommendations will be very much appreciated” and you tell him, “downsizing is a mistake”.How in any manner... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! Astonishing the disrespect some posters show on this forum. The OP specifically asks about a simpler system for listening to digital. Two of the first three responders have the gall to tell him what an idiot he is for making his decision. @russ69 ... | |
| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? Honestly not sure whether or not Ethernet beats WiFi. I have a node 2 I only use for radio stations now and it’s hard wired. However, I don’t think there’s any way using a wireless access point could possibly be better than just using the wireless... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @hilde45 - Great summary of the conversation. Very interesting take on how those of us of a certain age learned to listen differently because of the circumstances. Never heard it described in those terms but couldn’t agree more based on my experie... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? Really good topic. Both my vinyl and digital set ups are right at the upper end of that $ ballpark. I know you’ve asked us to separate initial component costs from enduring software / accessory costs but when you include a cost ceiling it’s sort o... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. @bpoletti - Thank you very much for the link. I found Ledermann’s explanation very informative. It’s funny how simple good science usually is. I used it last night to easily reset the anti-skate on my P6. @clearthinker - I’m pretty sure scating is... | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC I responded before realizing I was the first one to actually directly address your initial post. The Mytek is fully MQA compatible - as is the Node 2 (note: I have the 2 not the 2i). I stream both Tidal as well as Quboz. I’ve not heard a particul... | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC I can weigh directly in on your situation. I have a Node 2 and bought a Mytek Manhattan II DAC with network card (streamer). Initially I set it up as you have with the Node 2 going into the Manhattan via high quality Coax. Then I directly compared... | |
| Do I expect too much? @russ69 - not clear to me how “Torque angle is a very accurate way to apply torque settings.” in this case when it can vary by 50% based on where the finger tight starting point is? Since I have no intention of actually removing the screws differ... | |
| Do I expect too much? Lots of good advice. I really appreciate all of the thoughtful responses. There does seem to be some misunderstanding about how these drivers are mounted. Each driver has a single bolt/screw that secures it from behind. There are no bolts/screws a... | |
| Do I expect too much? @arch2 - I swear it skips a generation. Both my boys are like my mom. @russ69 - Appreciate the input. I’m sorry but the engineer in me is curious what defines a nut? Does a nut have to be able to move independently? Does a helicoil count as a ... | |
| Do I expect too much? @fuzztone - appreciate the advice. I’ll need to think about that with this unique mounting arrangement. Would hate to end up with red 271 drips on my cones. |
