| Downloads Versus Streaming A great streamer isolates, buffers, and translates the incoming signal. It sounds like it is not doing a good job on the streaming side. It sounds like you may be able to make up for that by doing things with your network. Or, as I mentioned, upgr... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @stevea11757 Yeah, I would definitely ignore what your VZ guy said. Although you may not want to tear your house apart to put in wired Ethernet… you sure don’t want to take it out if you have it. If you are dedicated to high end audio typica... | |
| Cables to settle brightness @bondmanp I would suspect your streamer. I highly recommend Aurender. Either one of there lower level models or an older one. They are detailed and incredibly natural sounding. I have two of them after owning and researching the daylights out... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? I guess I would start with how old are you? I’m 70 and have had vinyl all my life. So, it was great having my really good vinyl rig as a comparison as I brought my digital up to the level of my analog… a nearly forty year odyssey. I listen 98% of ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Streaming of red book CDs in my system sound exactly the same as CDs and streaming typically better because streaming has high Rez versions.. Actually streaming in my system sounds as good as my very high level vinyl playback analog leg. It is li... | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment Signal must go through. I wondered this for a while. I got the answer… unfortunately with my terrible memory I don’t remember if I experimented or someone I respected answered it. But I noted, I never needed to revisit the question. | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. This guy likes hearing himself talk. A salad of random perceptions that are not prevalent or central to Audiophilia. A waste of time. | |
| Phono Stage Upgrade OP, Congradulations. You will really be more impressed after a few hundred hours. Full break in 1,000 hours. | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment @carlsbad We are on the same page… although I would have done the install before my shower so it could be warming up when I am in the shower. Patients is not my strength. | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems What Jeff said is exactly what I would recommend. Audiophile equipment needs to be treated by experts and the behavior you are getting is not normal. | |
| Cables to Add Brightness Nice systems you have. What interconnects / cables are you using now? I’ll take a guess not knowing your cabling now. I am a bit confused by your choice of words. But you seemed to have carefully chosen them. To me sparkle is always a bad thin... | |
| Cables to settle brightness Cardas! If you need a lot of taming go for old used Golden Reference. I used them for decades to warm up my system. Contemporary Cardas are still warm, but not nearly to the extent. But are still excellent cables. You will want copper as the cond... | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? @curtdr Very sound financial advice. | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? @oddiofyl Comgradulations! I am sure you will get a couple of decades of use out of your new streamer. | |
| any lawyers in this forum care to give an advice? @rockysantoro Thank you very much for your perspective. I typically purchase through a dealer and he delivers it. If there is a problem… doesn’t matter what kind… he deals with it. |
