| streamer need........... @carlsbad Thanks for your comments. Just to understand, what is your system? There is a place to display it under your UserID. The performace of a streamer is dependent on the rest of your system. So, it would be really helpful to understand... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives I have been at this for over fifty years. I was absolutely transfixed by a set of Acoustat 2 + 2 in about 1980 (electrostatic… one form of planar, like Maggie’s). I owned planar for the following 30 years. Putting more and more money into the elec... | |
| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! I have found that frequently amps and preamps seem to improve by 100 hours. Then go through a period of up to ~ 50 hours where they wildly fluctuate back and forth from good to bad… then stabilize and start getting better for the next few (as much... | |
| Bi wire into single input I would imagine that the operative part is that they are good quality. But like all cables and interconnects, it will depend on how they actually sound in your system. Unless you know the “sound” of the cable and know it is complementary, i wouldn... | |
| Recommendations for small desktop speakers under $1500 Totem Mite…. With matching small subwoofer. It is what I have. Really happy with the choice… and beautiful. | |
| streamer need........... Aurender N20. That is pretty easy. Given your integrated. Both my streaming systems have Aurender, W20SE and N100 (headphone system). Also, same control using Conductor. I compared the N100 with the N10. Big difference… also big jump from N10... | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks I have heard a number of +$150K systems running on wifi extenders (wall wart wifi extenders) that sound simply spectacular. A great steamer with a wifi extender = incredible performance. | |
| The Risks of Buying Demo Gear There are always trade offs in dealers. I have had my best experience with smaller dealers where a fanatic audiophile has opened a shop. I typically become friends and we work together to carefully craft a system to my liking. In the first thirty ... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? I upgraded my Linn LP12 table from a std sub chassis and Akita arm to the Keel and the Ekos SE arm. Really nice upgrade, increased the level of detail and transparency. I really love the way one can cost effectively move step by step towards the t... | |
| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? No. I strive for the best sound possible. That requires every penny for each component goes into the very best component I can possibly acquire. So, even owning two is wasting money… to me. | |
| Streamer Upgrade OP, Congradulations. The Yggdrasil is a really good DAC for the new component price. Obviously, used, even better. It is best to spend time with each new piece of equipment, enjoy the upgrade and become intimately familiar with your systems ne... | |
| Have a tube that gets really bright when turned on and then dims quickly Nice video. Clearly shows what it is and how to stop it. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner OP, Thanks, congradulations. After transport and non-use… it can take a while for cables to settle down. I would give them at least a few tens of hours. Weird… I have been really surprised how consistent and long it takes. | |
| are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts? Wine and fountain pens. I used to be pretty into coffee… maybe cameras… yeah… I love my Leica M-10… I am eying a M-11. | |
| Why aren’t there many used cables on the market? There always seems to be hundreds for sale at UsedCables. I can usually find what I want when I have been looking for used. |
