| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Sorry I am on vacation so I can’t get into my config. But somewhere in the menus is a button that says something about restarting Conductor… or refresh… or maybe shut down? you click on that, then shut down the app (make it a small window with oth... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Sorry missed your system… no photos. Photos are very helpful I have mine on line. Nice system. Very good description of the sound. The name that comes to mind are Transparent… because they will not tilt the balance. Cardas will… Clear Beyond not... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) OP, Yes, today a top notch streamer is at or above the level of a high end CD player. In fact my streamer performs at the level of my vinyl rig (also not shabby, see my UserID). We are taking about full wide and deep soundstage. Instruments su... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? The High level Nordost are crazy good… the low to intermediate not so much. So I agree with your dealer. I would rent some from cable library. The Cable Store. Cardas should be on your list… tends to be a touch warm which is good in most s... | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Under Help… Send a Remote Service Request… or something like that? And you have a network connection? | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges When I bought my Frog he said you could get twice the play time out of them. I know I got at least 2,000 hours without retipping… when I traded it in still sounding great. | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? OP, what is your system? Power cords and interconnects can make a big and obvious difference.. but it is dependent on your system and your objectives. Perhaps (it sounds like this) you are largely happy with your system and just don’t want to fee... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @naperaudio Just out of curiosity, why are you not going to be using a streamer all the time? You got rid of your analog rig, you are left only a CD player? Right? If so, the Aurender would bring streaming to the same level or better to your ... | |
| bookshelf speakers on the floor Typically you want the tweeter at ear level. I wouldn’t be surprised I’d very short stands might be optimal… but as said. Ultimately experimenting will tell. Toe in and tilt will influence directness of treble and soundstage. | |
| audio and speaker web sites @grislybutter Good plan. | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Go to your setting. There is a place there to email Aurender with questions and problems. They are very responsive. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer An easy option for a wired connection is just to get a wall wart WiFi extender with an Ethernet port on the side (~$50) . Locate next to your system, plug in your streamer. I have heard many +$100K systems connected this way including my own syste... | |
| Sparkler CD players Yeah, it is hard to deal with the name. I can’t help but not consider a company that basically called their product Harsh. But in the other hand Schiit makes great budget gear… outstanding sound for the money. But, I just couldn’t do it. | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? Great question. Yes it depends. If you have no extra high end power cords around… well, you probably will at some point. A waste of money? Probably, but over time it happens and it ends up being useful for experimentation. One thing you can pr... | |
| Headphone amp? I own Sennheiser HD800s. You can see my system under my user ID. I also have Focal Utopia, LCD, Beyerdynamic, UltraSonde… and other headphones. I listen to the Sennheiser the most, although I would have to give a slight sound advantage to the Foca... |
