| How do you audition speakers at a store? Though a couple of hours from New Haven, Audioconnection in Verona NJ should be on your shortlist.-Especially, when you want a dealer who won't judge you on your appearance, and will give you honest answers and listening time to your hearts' conte... | |

| Bifrost multibit vs gungnir multibit A late response, but I'll bite...I owned both the Bifrost Multibit and the Gungnir (non Multibit).As to be expected, the Gungnir was a step up in sound quality.Though Schiit refuses to discuss the merits of their products, I have to say that as yo... | |
| Schiit Gungnir vs Denafrips Ares 2 Another variable is which model of the Gungnir are you looking at.Schiit offers a couple of upgrades. I am waiting to have my Gungy upgraded to Multibit and have the USB upgraded, too.Bob | |
| Bass in a bad space @b_limo .+1As it is a studio, can't you try hanging some tarps, canvas and paintings?I would even puts some on the floor, as well- well, not the paintings.In fact, I wouldn't try to smooth anything, leave the wrinkles to break up/ absorb/diffract ... | |

| [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 | |
