| Qobuz. @jond ,Yes, very good selection on classical and jazz.Listening to Cal Tjader right now.Also listened to the remaster Sgt. Pepper album and heard things I never knew were on that record.And, make sure you set the output quality. I have it on the h... | |
| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i The new Node has 2.5 and 5ghz networking capabilities, same DAC.I use an Ayre Codex. Slightly more than $1K used, but worth it.Otherwise, a Schiit Gungnir or Yggy.Bob | |
| Qobuz. @mahler, I had issues signing up, too. I had to do a password reset. To their credit, Quobuz responded in 2 days after a ticket.If you can login to the web player, then go to your account and reset your password.B | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen If your equipment supports the Balanced protocol, then buying expensive XLR cables will/should yield minimal differences in sound reproduction.I'd just get the King Cobra's. I've never heard a 'bad' AQ cable. They just get more refined/defined as ... | |
| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i I agree with big greg, if you want higher fidelity, you can always get a better DAC.I use my Node's solely for wireless connectivity between my office and LR.B | |
| Qobuz. They emailed me yesterday and I am now enjoying a month's free listening.Sounds pretty good so far.I opened up Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reissue and heard things I didn't know were on the album.Those guys were really pushing it to the ... | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen @jsbach1685 .As a Vandy fan and an AQ fan, I am certainly biased.First, I would definitely biwire. Second, if you can arrange a trial(-I though Cable Company offered trials, or maybe it is the used website-which I forget the name of), get the Kimb... | |
| Why do some fine solid state amplifiers like Soulution have such low input impedance? I can attest to Steve McCormack's use of low output impedance on his amp revisions.When I got my DNA-1 monoblocks back the impedance was so low I now need to use a Jensen Transformer to covert the XLR signal to RCA in order to use my Vandy crossov... | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I did my update via Wifi.I needed to reset one of my Nodes-due to them being grouped, and then it accepted the update. No problem with them disappearing. Only Spotify gives me trouble-but now that I got a Quobuz trial, I might just go back to the ... | |
| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) @photodusty ,At the very least, change out the outlets to Hospital grade-even Leviton's.Not very expensive, and an easy improvement.Bob | |
| Beware!!! Everyone and all American citizen, you must not buy anything from BH Hi-Fi @clearthink,Be careful, Karma might just catch up with you...Bob | |

| Vandersteen VLR CT @mr_m ,I wish I could buy them new.And, I haven't seen any used Treo CT's on Hifi Shark, either, which is probably a good thing, as that means people don't want to change.To be honest, I think my non-CT Treo's are amazing. Since I can't go that ro... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I wasn't on the list, but Mark confirmed it for Wally.Now I am on the list.Thanks Wally and MarkBob | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless @mahler,That's weird. I just replied to their emails and got answers back the next day or so.I, too, found out that the players should be ungrouped before update after getting the same error. That is something they should let people know about.Did... |
