| What A Drag It Is Getting Old Yes, I wish I couldn’t come up with a couple items like this a day. But I can. But on the other hand, I have lots of time to listen to music, read books, paint, and enjoy life... so there is that. And not being dead of course., | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs I'm pretty sure I used to have this issue with a Schiit DAC... and it was it being slow to respond to the signal to change resolutions... there was also a loud click. | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling Since you have CJ gear and therefore probably do not want to tip the tonal balance or make any change to the sound, I recommend Transparent. The highest tier you can afford. I have all Audio Research gear and use Transparent for all cables excep... | |
| Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen So what would be your long term investment level for a component. $1K ? $2K? $3K?... an integrated amp counts for two so 1/2 cost. There are large differences in streamer sound quality... but given sufficiently good and resolving other component... | |
| Listening in car If I want to listen in the car. I put Quboz on my phone and stream it. | |
| Sonus Faber Concertino? I think you can assume they are 25 years old… they were about $1K then + the center. Sonus Faber back then were very warm… and they are the bottom tier. on the other hand they cost virtually nothing. I guess make sure they are actually functional. | |

| Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical Photos would be super helpful. If you created a virtual system you could put photos of you current system and destination... that would really help us help you. | |
| Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen @soix +1 If you are close to the router... by all means connect to the main router. But make sure your audio system isn't too close to the router / modem or it will interfere with the system. For most folks the router is not close, and they can... | |
| Mid Fi streaming question. @baylinor +1 Improving the quality of the streamer is probably the single most significant item in the chain. You are getting the bits. A high quality steamer with significantly improve the sound quality. Small incremental improvements in infr... | |
| Listening in car I just googled it and the AI assembled this. To copy music from an Innuos Zenith to a USB drive, you’ll need to use the "Export" function within the Innuos Sense app. First, connect your USB drive to the Innuos device. Then, navigate to your mu... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Commitment isn’t only money. I slowly upgraded and collected albums for nearly 60 years. My commitment was to vinyl because there was no alternative. Then a few years ago I was able to upgrade my digital rig to sound as good or better than my viny... | |
