| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. It’s both. You can have a 2 channel preamp running into a 5 channel amp. But you still only have 2 channels of sound. That is assuming analog out and in. If you have digital out, and your preamp has a surround processor, then that would work, depe... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Wow, this forum is nuts... but whatever. At some point you've got to dive in. Get solid basics, whether separates or integrated. These days, a good integrated can be as good, if not better, than some separates combos. Either way, start there and m... | |
| Why stream? If you use the premium service of the big boys, Pandora, Spotify, quality for simply listening while doing other things is fine. By far, Spotify will give you the most control and variation in your music with song stations, artist stations, playli... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Zero 7 Radio tonight. Just a mellow background jam. | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Another vote for Herbie’s. My speakers are 265 each and I use the Herbie’s on a ceramic tile floor. Allows them to be moved a bit if need be and seems to isolate them well. Lots of interesting discussion on “isolation”, coupling etc. | |
| Backing up Roon database and library Roon won’t “find” your NAS, at least it didn’t mine. You’ll need to add it for it to look for it. You’ll need to specify the path and sign in depending on how you have your NAS setup. But then again, that is to bring a NAS library into ROON, not s... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Cookin' me some Phish tonight... Undermind specifically. Possibly Rift next... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Supertramp: Breakfast in America. Awesome! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon... off the NAS | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? Stepping into the audio world is a long and winding road. If you can, go listen. If you get a chance go to a trade show. I’m lucky and get to attend one of the largest in the country as Denver is very close to me. Or, just go to a smaller show. Bu... | |
| i'm looking for something that may not exist Mescaline is good... you’ll hear whatever you want! | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Um, if it ain’t broke... don’t fix it? At some point contentment has to settle in. “Looking” for things to improve when things are just find is a rabbit hole at best, and can be an expensive rabbit hole that may not achieve anything at all. As sai... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Wilson’s generally like Transparent. As mentioned, it is what is used internally. I’m not sure how much it matters which ones particularly. Might be worth a call to either company. Power is definitely a consideration, I’ve kicked up my power lines... | |
| Speaker return or sell As New Definitely return them if you are within the period. Easier, plus that is why companies offer these types of returns. Downside is, you eat shipping. Price to pay for online auditioning... kenjit... wow. | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space There are a few in this one that would be crazy decor-wise. Sure conversation pieces without doubt.https://www.octaneseating.com/most-expensive-home-theater-speakers |
