| Bluesound Node 2i & KEF LS50 wireless hum/buzz Good post crm.@OP,Is the hum occurring only with Tidal?Bob | |
| Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed @OP,You have some great speakers. If I were you, I'd sell my equipment and put the money into something better, like Ayre.I understand that you don't want to spend more money, but in this case, I think it would be the best move.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed @stringreen ,Setting the High Pass filters to different settings will not damage anything.The only result will be either too little or too much bass.+1 on recommending John Rutan at Audioconnection.Bob | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers @karl_desch ,I know Mr. V. believes his speakers sound better on a granite block.I have my Treo's on maple butcherblock at the moment.I was going to try Townshend Podiums, but the outrigger feet made that unusable due to my limited floor space. (T... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's @mr_m ,I owned the 3a sigs before I bought ctsooner's Treo's (non CT).I would seriously question the hearing of a dealer who thought the 3's were better than the Treo's- unless he/she was referring to the lower end extension, but on the whole, the... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's @tomic601 ,And, don't forget Charlie Hansen.Bob | |
| SE RCA to XLR... any benefit? I would PM Atmasphere (Ralph Karsten) to get a complete understanding of the differences between RCA and XLR, though a little searching on this forum should provide you the same.Bob | |
| Can a streamer without DAC improve streaming? @OP, Another brand to consider is Schiit. The Yggy and Gungnir are pretty close to the Codex soundwise, and can be had used at a nice discount.-Though used Codex's are moving to the $1K price range if you are patient.B | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's I bet a Belles Aria Integrated would be a nice combo for the new Model 2. They certainly work with the VLR's.Now that would be a very price conservative combo.B | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product @goose ,+1, exactly what I heard when I used the Podium under my preamp.B | |
| Any alternative to Radio Shack sound level meter? Old Radio Shack sound level meters are easily purchased on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/p/1300619695 B | |
| Can a streamer without DAC improve streaming? @OP, I use AQ USB and optical to my Ayre Codex- from the Node.Works like a charm.I actually demoed the difference between the onboard Node DAC vs the Ayre Codex. The Codex was significantly better.B | |
| All in one streamer for parents in their 70s @majorc The original Node was a square box design. I have no information comparing the Bluesound to the Echo.Regarding Bluesound customer service- I agree, it isn't the fastest, but they do work on issues to completion. Given that streaming is rel... | |
| All in one streamer for parents in their 70s A Bluesound Node would be my choice.Easy to set up, with very good sound quality for the price.They also have wireless speakers.If you want to save some money, buy the Node used. Even the first iteration is still supported and upgradable.I own two... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci , your experience? @whatjd ,Those room sizes should be fine with with the Vandy's. And, given your previous brand preferences, I think you will find the Vandy sound to your liking.B |
