| UPS for Music Server @cleeds ,Yes, you have.I had to send my N100 back to Aurender because one of the drives corrupted.$180 bucks.Not terrible. But, I could have done it myself if I had the ability to reinstall the software.Bob | |
| Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono I think you should PM Audiogon member Pstores. He has a lot of firsthand info on Atma's.Of course, calling Ralph(-Atmasphere) directly would provide the most accurate info.When I had Ralph build my MP-1, I had them install V Caps (as per Pstores a... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier @decooney .You have made some very good points.B | |
| How many people wish they could maintain and/or service/modify their own tube equipment? I, like you, have no idea of what would need to be fixed, so I send all my tube stuff (and SS stuff) to Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere.He knows his stuff and his recent work of finding the source of a buzz was priced so low, I can't believe it was w... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier @neonknight , 8 meters is a long run and might be the cause of your issues.In your case, I would recommend some Audioquest speaker cables with DBS. Used Rocket 88, Rockefeller, or GO-4 isn't too expensive (relatively) and you might just score some... | |
| Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other? @OP,The best way to minimize damage from surges is to put a whole house protector at the main box. They aren't expensive and the hook up (by and experienced electrician) shouldn't be much either. These surge protectors are sacrificial, but at leas... | |

| BIC Venturi fans? I owned the Soundspan 600 speakers.They were pretty good, too.B | |
| I need advice for power cords @beatify,I concur. And, welcome to Audiogon.Bob | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! @OP,I would cut Aurender some slack. Given streaming music is relatively new and the software has to work on Mac and PC, sometimes things get screwed up.I remember a Microsoft update that messed up networked PC's communicating with each other that... | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! Well, there is always Bluesound...B | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @oregonpapa ,I am inclined to agree with you. Sometimes, complete immersion yields a greater understanding.But,Sometimes the dissonant/discordant sounds force me to flee the room or switch to Mozart.B | |
| Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other? @tuberist,Here is a link between PS Audio and AQ: https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directstream-power-plant/ For the money, it seems AQ is the way to go.Bob | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! I can understand the frustration.My N100 did the same thing after an 'upgrade'. I had to send it back for diagnosis- one of the drives was corrupted. I cost $180, but it works.I haven't done the upgrade yet, so I don't know if it is the culprit, b... | |
