| Streaming vs ripped music @mofojo ,If you can run direct ethernet, all the better.There is another thread here on Agon regarding the insertion of optical between ethernet. The benefit being that it isolates/removes noise.Bob | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Revel Ultima Salon 2 I think you made great observations.Considering that the Wilson's were given the prime spot, and couldn't be moved would make me worried. IMHO, There is nothing worse than a speaker that has to be set in a 'perfect' position. And, the fact that th... | |
| Ethernet 7 I just thought of a more direct way.Why not splice them together?https://www.bestethernetcables.com/how-to-splice-ethernet-cable/The wires are color coded so it wouldn't be rocket science to perform.You'd need the proper tools, though.Though I wou... | |
| Ethernet 7 If it is a true CAT 7 cable then it will have isolation/grounding between the pairs of wires.You are going to need a female to female coupler that has a grounding feature.This should be a good coupler:https://www.amazon.com/AMPCOM-Coupler-Keystone... | |
| Why does MQA not sound good in my system? Confused I'll say it again,MQA is just the Dolby of the 21st century. The latter made a ton of money getting people/studios to believe they're technology made a difference.MQA wants to do the same.B | |
| Streaming vs ripped music @mofojo ,I think your experience mimics the same rationale behind Sam Laufer's The Memory Player.Bob | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @ianrmack ,Oohh, that sounds like a great pairing.B | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics Funny, but where is Millercarbon?He has a thread on Townshend platforms that the OP should look at.In any case, I never got to try spring isolation under my Treo's due to space issues, but did use them under my components. Long story short, they d... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Well, at least we agree on one thing.😊Bob | |
| Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender? Add Innuos to that list.B | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review It also does it's magic with an Atmasphere MP-1.My office system is suspended from wall mounted Sumo Shelves.They look nice but aren't the most inert, so I bought some Townshend Platforms for my Belles Aria monoblocks and my Atma UV-1 preamp.It se... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I ordered a pair of Podiums for my Vandy Treo's.I never got to install them as my floor space is limited and those outrigger feet took up too much room.-Probably all for the better as Mr. V. believes his speakers benefit from a solid marble plinth... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Listening to Clara Schumann debut the A minor Piano Concerto would be one of my picks.Bob | |
| What do you use for streaming Classical? @mike_in_nc ,I only purchased the software ($120/year or so), as the Innuos works with Roon- no need to buy a Roon Core.The latest version seems to be a significant upgrade over previous versions. IMHO.B | |
| Audioquest Robin Hood Zero @rjtrout,Glad they worked out for you. And Welcome to Audiogon.Bob |
