| Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC Yup, I use a Netgear WNCE 300, to get a 5ghz signal to my aged Bluesound Node (only 2.5 ghz capable). It works like a charm.I am thinking of wiring the house, as it isn't very hard, thankfully. But, I can't say if it sounds better. What I can say ... | |
| Need speaker suggestion for a larger room! Vandy Quatro's. | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless @Mahler,You have to put in a ticket through the app Help tab. They get back very quickly.B | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I, too, am having issues with Bluesound.Spotify skips, Deezer repeats.They have been good at responding to my requests, but after some update in September, I have been having nothing but problems-none of which is resolved.Please do open a ticket. ... | |
| Which power cords should I look at? Zu cables, of which I own a number of, are very good considering their cost. I doubt aberyclark will be disappointed.And, yes, they do require some time to 'break in'.B | |
| Back to the drawing board I still think the Vandy subs w/crossover are the least intrusive way to add subs to a system. Simple and elegant.Mind you, I also own a pair of HSU subs (forget the model-VHS-1?), but the 2wq's are so much more seamless. I'll get the Sub 3's when ... | |
| Looking for new speakers @tomic601 ,+1 again.If you could stretch your budget and wait for a used pair, the Treo's would be the best investment. Pair them with the Vandy subs and you can't go wrong-IMHO.I heard Vandy's back in the '80's and never forgot how good they soun... | |
| Advice needed: am I going in the right direction? @big greg.+1Your system will dictate the level of sensitivity you require.In your case, I would suggest a Schiit Bifrost Multibit.B | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? @larry,Leave the OP alone. He doesn't have the funds to go to a new amp.Let's wish him well and hope just replacing the tubes will resurrect his amp. If it doesn't, I bet Roger will be able to help him.Bob | |
| recommend hifi home setup service in oakland / east bay I think Tomic601 is in your area. PM him. A good guy with lots of experience.B | |
| Speaker suggestions As always, +1 for Vandy's, which is why I asked if you had dealers nearby.B | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @tomiiv, I agree. For the electronically inclined, it is a walk in the park. But, those of us with limited skills (well, I can solder pretty well), seeing the list of items needed and putting them in the proper order makes me a bit uneasy. Mostly ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @georgehifi ,Similar or better.Knowing Ralph, he is going to surprise us all.(Now Rob Schneider in Cajun outfit saying 'You can do it Ralph').B | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @celander ,The lure of Class D is a more efficient amp. Here on Long Island, we pay through the nose for power-at least it is fairly clean. I love my tubes and SS amps, but if I could get something similar that runs cool and cheap, heck, I am all ... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Just put a blanket over it when you listen and remove when done. I think it will be a big improvement. Glass is terrible due to it's reflective properties.B |
