| Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing Great, even the high 60’s is not loud. Perhaps only putting some absorbent pads under the feet may do it. Maybe listen in the 70” only when newborns gone. I am listening now and have it “turned up” in my mind and it is low 70’s. | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Ok, so not the real obvious stuff. You have a challenge. Given what you have tried sounds like your logically taking apart the problem… logic will eventually succeed. I’m looking forward to hearing what successfully solves this. | |

It sounded very good, definitely worth the money. Sonically it was not quite as good as mine… but it was much less expensive. B... | |
| New streamer needed I recommend a used Aurrender N100. But any Aurender you can afford. I own two. If you do not have the upgraded power supply for your DAC, I would also recommend that. I have heard the N100 against streamers of a lot greater value and besting the... | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) I would think that Audiogon was one of the sources that ChatGPT was trained on. The dataset it was trained on was absolutely enormous. Chat GPT does a pretty good job on questions like “what are the sound characteristics of say McIntosh equipment.... | |
| Opinions on NAD please NAD makes really good entry level gear (to high end audio). Not a bunch of extra functions you don’t need, but solidly built, and constructed for good sound quality. I gave a friend of mine one I had over 35 years and it sounded much better than w... |
