| Orientation for digital beginner @OP, I think you have quite an issue at hand.My first question is:Just how high a quality in sound reproduction do you want?If Audiophile, then you will have to install 12 individual systems in each room.100 feet is too far to send a signal. You m... | |
| Tube Tester Option @jbhiller ,I know, but he would be the best person to ask if it is worth buying.Why spend $130 when another $100 or so would buy something that can do the job without question.B | |
| Tube Tester Option PM Ralph Karsten- Atmasphere.Bob | |
| How to add SPDIF and Toslink connections to my computer I just did a quick Google, and I think the easiest way is to buy a sound card. Sorry.Though, you might want to check out John Darko's videos about the Raspberry Pi. You can build a pretty nice unit for under $300.As for DAC's, I would buy a used S... | |
| DIY Speakers @OP, I would PM eric squires.Bob | |
| HiDef streaming troubles @OP,I just recalled an issue I had with Verizon Fios a couple of years ago.My internet would just drop without warning, intermittently.They came and swapped out equipment, cabling for almost a year, until one service tech remembered another custom... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! Okay guys/gals...Though I don't always agree with @millercarbon, he is allowed to have his say on what he thinks.Dismissing out-of-hand that his opinions are false/guided by financial benefit is not fair. bob | |

| Should I decouple my subs too? I put my sub on Townshend Bars.-Mostly due to them being on the same Sound Anchor stand as my monoblocks.John Rutan and Samir of Audioconnection set them up, and the seem to work as they should. I had my older subs sit directly on the stands prior... | |
| New power cable for streamer. @Richard,I don't think you mentioned which model of cable you bought.John Rutan told me to start with the sources and work you way down.He also said that amps are the one component that cables can either sound great or worse.B | |
| subwoofer with zero punch... help @OP, I think you should do some Googling on audio room design.There have been more than a few threads here on Audiogon on that subject, as well.I would also suggest going to as many dealers as possible. Audition as much equipment as you can. Get a... | |
| subwoofer with zero punch... help I think your DAC is limiting your sound.Even a Schiit Bifrost Multibit should be an substantial upgrade, yet not break the bank.Bob | |
| MQA is for chumps I said it before, and I'll say it again:MQA is just Dolby for the 21st century.Bob | |
| Eliminating Ground Loop Problem Did you try a cheater plug or a Hum X?I also would recommend Pm'ing member Atmasphere or calling him (Google Atma-Sphere).He helped me track down a hum issue.Bob |
