| Moving up from a Node 2i +2 for the Aurender.I heard the difference between the Node and Aurender at Audioconnection. Both used the Ayre Codex as DAC.The Aurender sounded much cleaner, bass was better defined.The only thing I don't like is Aurender only offers Qobuz and T... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? Where do you get a tube tester recalibrated?Bob | |
| Speaker Spike Help @imhififan ,Nice suggestion, but I would be a little concerned if the OP's speakers are very heavy(-he/she doesn't mention the model). Using a screw hole to support a heavy object might damage the wood if it encounters any twist or uneven load. Th... | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( @labguy Please ignore spiritofaudio. Bob | |
| Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up @Millercarbon,If you haven't anything nice to say, then keep it to yourself. Bob | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( I just looked at my BS App and for local shares it needs to be either on the computer the app is running on or connected via USB.There is no wifi connection available. Bob | |
| Speaker Spike Help @david_ten .I am a little confused by your post. B. What do you recommend for securely attaching a flat top spike (the Hemi-Spike has a 1 inch / ~25 mm diameter) to the speaker cabinet bottom? Do you mean there are no threads at the bottom of th... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums I bought a pair for my Treo's, but didn't realize the outriggers would make them unsuitable for the place I have them, so I ended up using them under my preamp. I have to say it made a subtle improvement-considering I was using an Ikea Besta shelf... | |
| DIY Computer Audio Server or Melco N1Z/2EX-H60 I would contact Sam Laufer of Laufer Teknik.He builds a mini Memory player that uses an Intel NUC. He also has some interesting software to go with it that enhances playback.Bob | |
| Power/Current: How much is realistic? @fruitloopsr .A quick search showed this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323940946950 BobEdit:It looks like local pickup only, sorry. | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation A pair of Vandy VLR's, and a Belles Aria integrated. If buying new, you'll probably get a nice discount over regular retail price.If you want streaming source, add a Bluesound Node and Ayre Codex.These you could buy used and save a bit of cash.The... | |
| Chasing down the problem We need a tube wizard.Hey, @Atmasphere!B | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio So we offered to refund his $250 if he would send it back. Instead he chose to open a dispute with his credit card company. So now we have lost another $250So, you still feel abused, despite getting the unit essentially for free.Thanks for posti... | |
| Chasing down the problem Once again, good sleuthing techniques.One question-Can you open up the amp and check to see if the wiring to the connectors looks solid? Or, if anything might be shorting it out?Bob | |
| fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed @OP, I concur, sellers remorse shouldn't be condoned. If you post a price, then you have to honor it once payment is made.That being said, I would just move onward and let it go. Karma will provide balance to both sides- at least, I hope.Check Hif... |
