| Speakers near fireplace @jetson ,Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking.B | |
| TIDAL-Who knows what you are hearing? Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I rely on my Codex to provide the streaming rate through its' display.Bob | |
| Speakers near fireplace I concur with Tomic. You should have no issues with the fireplace. If it is functioning properly, the heat should be mostly going up the flue.I also agree in equal or near equal lengths of cable. The excess not coiled, as Tomic mentioned.As far as... | |
| Ideal design for a new music room I think any way you build it, is probably going to have some issue that you did not consider. Beyond making sure it was properly wired, and the walls suitably deadened; I would build it so that it looks good and can be furnished tastefully.As you ... | |

| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? +1 on Ayre, and if you are in the market for Class D, I believe Atma-Sphere has one coming out soon. If Ralph puts his name on it, I will buy one in a heartbeat.Bob | |
| Step up from Bluesound Vault 2, next move? Perhaps The Memory Player?I own the Mini-which doesn't have the integrated DAC, but I know people who own the big guy who swear by it.Used ones can be found for much less than new...Bob | |
| Is Tidal, or Spotify going to ever learn?? As the OP stated, I love the Spotify catalog and search, but Tidal' search is beyond reprehensible. You literally have to input the exact title to get it to be displayed, and if it is something in the Classical genre, don't expect to find it.I hop... | |
