| Aurender N10 connection with the network I have two Aurrender. It has never been more complicated than to plunk it down. Plug in the (I use a WIFI extender with a short Ethernet cable to Aurender), turn on the unit. It lights up and as I remember gives you a code to enter on your phone /... | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? @pcrhkr It’s already done. Audio Research has been purchased and the new owner will be formally disclosed tomorrow. | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Hmm. I have not owned a MM since a Shure V15, 1970’s? So all the cartridges I have used have bee MC and sounded much better. | |

| Turntable Isolation Journey OP, Absolutely. SRA is for micro vibrations, not foot falls. It is for top notch turntables, not to make up for bad environments or substandard tables. This string is too long to re-read every time I run into it again. For excellent tables... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey I had a Silent Running Audio Ohio Class isolation platform built for my Linn LP12. It made a very positive effect in reducing the noise floor and adding focus. Very highly recommended. | |
| Newest Audio Research News: @rumblestrip Trent bought it from group that owns Mac about two to three years ago. He had a great vision for the company. Great guy, well, managing a $71M company through rough economic times is a challenge for even those that have done it t... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit @soix +1 Noise in audio is something you have to learn to hear. Decades ago it ceased to be hiss or anything you point to, but it is the noise floor. It is obvious indirectly in not having a dead quiet background that you can fall into. It c... | |
| Newest Audio Research News: 😊👍🎉 | |
| There's No Question OP, Thank you. I have always wondered about them. The hype was too much and never a downside. Also completely makes sense why MC was such a fan… the ultimate tweekmaster if there ever was one. So just out of interest… when not properly set u... | |
| The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs Thank you for the additional info. First, if you click on your UserID… a couple times you will eventually find, “create a virtual system”. If you get their it becomes easy. Easy to post photos and ID your system. I looked up the components yo... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities OP… “Listing a third or fourth quality without indicating priority is fine, but it's dilutive because it's that much closer to listing all the attractive qualities one can think of.” Actually, perhaps I wasn’t getting my point across. I was no... | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k I would recommend a used Audio Research Ref 5SE or REF 6. The current model is Ref 6SE which is nearly $20K… very worth the money. I have owned many. It REF 6SE is the center of my system. But from your description this is likely best fit. Or Conr... | |
| Tonearm chatter? I think more information than just the word chatter is required. The term is just to general. My first thought when I read chatter was tracking pressure to light… but that is just a reaction to the word chatter. I have never heard a sound remotel... | |
| The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs The simple answer no. I have two Aurender streamers using Qobuz and if the published resolution is the same and, of course the same mastering, then no. Qobuz supplies over half a million high Rez recordings and millions at CD quality level... |
