| Wool Blankets as Room treatment I use a very heavy, tightly woven “Oriental”? Wool rug behind my system (see my virtual system). It does an excellent dampening job. I own a Pendleton blanket. I would think it would take about three thick to be very effective. | |
| is anyone using an Aurender streamer with Schiit Yggdrasil? Yes. I have a friend I have been helping build a system with for several years. We got him a Yggdrasil several years ago… then recently coupled my Aurender N100 (five years old) with it and made comparisons with a different streamer and DAC. The N... | |
| Covers for racks to keep dust off? @corelli +1 | |
| The $10,000 Question OP, I second the Sonus Faber and ARC I-50 recommendations. Also, if you want good sounding equipment steer clear of ASR. The information there will send you in the wrong direction, it is utter nonsense. For good info, Robert Harley’s book, Th... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth Nice equipment. Well, the amp and preamp. Ok. If you are like most of us, then you sit and enjoy listening to music. To do that you set up your speakers 6 - 8’ apart and position your listening position to make an equilateral triangle. Then with ... | |
| Turntable Isolation Suspended floors are a different thing from a cement floor. Turntables with outstanding isolation are still subject to problems from footfalls on a suspended floor. For a nearly hundred years the answer is wall mounted shelves. They are made to ge... | |
| Cd player Since you already have a DAC, I’d just get a streamer and skip the CD thing all together. You’ll get access to millions of albums for the price of a cd a month. Many of higher resolution than the CD. Get the best you can afford and you’ll be rewar... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy I’d just replace the duplex receptacle. They loosen with age. I use the hospital ones as well. | |
| Covers for racks to keep dust off? Nope. I just use a swifter once in a while. I think my turntable comes with a dust cover… if so, it is still in the box. | |
| Overkill for small room Sounds like a great choice. DynAudio speakers are excellent. Particularly if you have control of the room you can really dial them in. There is plenty of room to pull them in from the walls and back. You can easily make a ~6 -7 foot triangle with ... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative @lewm I imagine I bought one every ten years… starting back around 1980 , so at least three. There were some design changes along the way. I was in Tucson back then and static was a big deal. I always used them when the record was on the plat... | |
| My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode Better to be lucky than good. | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative I have owned zerostats for over thirty years. As much as I wanted results… they did nothing. I finally tossed them a few years ago. | |
| My Aurender N150 is stuck in repeat mode I have two Aurender streamers and accessing Conductor 4 on iPads and have no issues. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Nice system. Assuming you cannot remove the tv and all the equipment from between the speakers and dampen the walls behind with either dense wall hanging or acoustic panels. This should greatly enhance and deepen the soundstage and firm up imagin... |
