| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to remote stereo system over WIFI - If you have the newer Node model, it has 5ghz network capability.Try setting it to that and see if the drop outs stop.B | |
| Transferring large folders of flac files Look as SyncBack Pro.I use it for my photo collection.It has a wide range of copying protocols.B | |
| Best place to get orientation in buying equipment @dill ,+1That is one of the reasons I recommended John Rutan. Bob | |
| Bookshelf Speaker Stand Difference? @audiokinesis ,Thanks Duke. That looks very interesting.May I ask:Isn't there a need to isolate the upper speaker from the sub?Have you considered adding an isolation base to the entire unit?I only ask as I put some Townshend Isolation Bars under ... | |
| AES48 , is there a test to determine? @jetter ,I recall Ralph saying that equipment using AES48 will result in cable artifacts being reduced. Whether differing cables will sound ’identical’ is probably more a matter of opinion.FWIW, I bought a 10 meter set of XLR’s from Ralph years ag... | |
| Bookshelf Speaker Stand Difference? To the best of my knowledge mine is the only one that does. It's a bit unorthodox. Duke Please, can you tell us why you want to do this?Now, I'm really interested.Bob | |
| Flush wall plug for power cables? I use the Voodoo cable and other right angle adapters.I spoke to Audioquest, and they said using them shouldn't make any difference as it is metal to metal.B | |
| I should have labeled it Speakers? I hate buzzes. Truly nasty beasties.Did you have the Preamp checked?I, too, own Ayre with my Vandy's, and am surprised you should have such issues.You seem to have ruled out interconnects, but have you tried changing the power cables?Bob | |
| Dedicated circuit @OP,I see you also have fluorescent lighting.I think that as well as the compressor will be another reason to put a separate line to the stereo.I would like to run a subpanel from my mains, but, due to living in a 100 year old home, there isn't sp... | |
| Is is wise to set Power Conditioner on its front rather than on it's bottom. I owned the Equi Core. The transformer is bolted to the chassis, so I doubt it will ever come loose, unless it was loose to begin with.I ended up switching to an Audioquest Niagra 1200. AQ says that it can be placed either flat, on side or sideway... | |
| Dedicated circuit @jea48 .The OP says his line comes from a subpanel that also has the AC compressor.Would it make sense to simply add another subpanel from the main?Would that isolate the effects from the AC unit?(OP-sorry if I am making this more expensive. I onl... | |
| Dedicated circuit If I were to get an answer from @jea48 ,I would take it as gospel.Just do a search of his responses over the years and you can see why he is trusted-almost as much as the late Almarg.Bob | |
| Very Limited Space/Wall Outlet My 2 cents: Remove the stove from the line. Install a whole house surge protector. They're cheap.Add an additional outlet/s for the mono amps.Buy a used Audioquest Niagra 1200 for your sources.Bob | |
| Bookcase diffuser/detractor? +3.Anything uneven and with varying reflectivity is much better than bare walls. Add some tchotchkes, too. Everything helps.B | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? Though Spotify has no High Rez format available, I will concur with @fuzztone. A very extensive catalog and very good recommendations.B |
