| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? @rettrussell 😊 | |
| Aurender N200 Absolutely, big difference. I own a Aurrender N100, tested a N10, and now own a W20SE. These are real audiophile streamers and bring sound commensurate With there price. This difference in sound between budget streamers and this will be striking. ... | |
| Did you notice.... What a waste of time, “Audiophiles are Snobs”. Life is to short to waste time listening to idiots like this. Why would he waste his time talking about this… and why would anyone listen to it? | |
| Looking for a streamer/DAC OP, A wall wart is a single small box that plugs into an electrical outlet. So, in this case a wifi extender. Just google wifi extender. Most just plug in and have an Ethernet output… plug your streamer into that. Here are some: https://w... | |
| A Streamer or Dedicated DAC With McIntosh MX110Z??? The best streamers are single function boxes made only to do this. They do not have variable output. The best is probably the Aurender W20SE… although I believe the W30 will be available soon. It is used nearly universally at audio shows for digit... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Never happened to me. | |
| Why not? OP… @bruce19 Thanks for your comment. Really interesting question. You know, at this point in the evolution of technology there is not a solution. Originally, when I got into this I was a practicing scientist, and quickly I realized there w... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @lewm … “I think that makes me —- crazy”. 👍👍👍👍. I mean, it’s OK… most folks think the amount of money I put into my system is crazy… although… three or more hours of listening a day… and the enjoyment I get, seems well worth it. If having many... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @fastfreight +1 | |
| Analog Upgrade itch OP, That is the right question, difference in sound… not better. I like Hong Kong. Where do you live? Must be challenging listening in an apartment. | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? @newbee …”ghprentice, I suspect I might, just might mind you, be much more anal than you when it comes to vinyl.” 😊👍… I think everyone is!… what is the opposite of anal? That is me. | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? OP, I am happy to hear you want to hear the difference yourself with cable lifters. Tell us what your impressions are. When I was younger, I can’t tell you how much testing I did with interconnects and power cords… many, many hundreds of hours... | |
| Looking for a streamer/DAC I am an old geezer that has been with digital every step of the way. I am going to assume you want streaming to sound as good or very nearly to your other sources. Meaning you can fully enjoy your streaming and not keep going back to other sources... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner The power cord to your amp will likely have a large impact. Given what you are attempting, I recommend trying an AudioQuest Hurricane. I would borrow or rent. These have become extremely popular because of their ability to add transparency and det... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? Absolutely without question one turntable with two arms. As you said at the same investment level. Turn table performance improves phenomenally with cost (assuming yo are doing your research). Two tts at half the price at almost any cost level are... |
