| 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 | |

| 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... | |
| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) @photodusty ,Good move. And +1 for a good power cord. Steve also likes adding HiFi Tuning Fuses to the amp. I think there are 3 or 4 in there.B | |
| Looking for ic AQ would be my first choice.Zu cables, especially the more current models, are quite good for the price. They offer them on Ebay, too.I'd keep the amp for now, and get some decent cables. If you find you need more power, there are plenty of amps o... | |

| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA Wow, what a clam bake this turned into...@tomiiv,If your dealer's wiring doesn't produce hum in your amps, I don't see why he didn't have his 'electricians' check your wiring.But, considering how you have been treated, I would be circumspect about... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I always wanted to get the Shahinian's. Very nice sound. I still remember hearing them at the Audio show opposite Penn Station back in the '80's.Same with Maggie's and Dahlquist. I was like Homer Simpson drooling over donuts.Well, to be honest, I ... |
