| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio Has anyone compared a mesh range extender vs. a hard wired ethernet connection? | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product I believe Max Townshend addressed the perceived bass change. He measured it at a .00 something change in db's. I am getting a pair and will report out on my observations since I have a carpeted suspended wood floor situation. Another friend is ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions I have not been 100% pleased with my speaker placement in my room, so yesterday I decided to start over. I used various math formulas previously and couldn't get a node at about 80-90 Hz to diminish. I went back to the Wilson set up where you sp... | |
| Loud popping noise with Classe Audio SIX pre-amp in phono MC mode I agree with pops, I had a similar problem with an older McIntosh pre amp. The problem seemed to go away after it got warmed up and it turned out to be a loose solder joint. | |
| HFT High Frequency Transducer Ok, I'm one of the biggest skeptics when it comes to a lot of tweaks. When I was at RMAF last year and visited the Synergistic Research room, they did a real time demonstration of the effect of the HFTs. The room was treated with them and when t... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? Ok so I heard them at 2019 RMAF. I'm a big skeptic in all the audio voodoo. They had them in the system and then removed them on the same audio cut. Yes they made a difference. So here is the caveat. I'm not sure if it was the riser or the HF... | |
| Luxman 509 or McIntosh 8900 I used to own Mac gear a long time ago and can’t really comment on current offerings. I would be a little concerned on ownership changes with Mac, not like the good old days. Luxman still seems to be actively moving forward with their gear. Of ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 I have used both of their products, just not the phono stages. The after purchase service is a big deal for me. I have had some updates to my amps and preamp by Keith. Very reasonable and responsive to any questions. Dan is the same way. He a... | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( This is probably a stupid question, but to those using servers or the Innuos option, what happens when the hard drive fails? This is one of the reasons I'm leaning to the streaming option rather than bringing another "computer" into the equation. | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( tom8999 your comments have given me some hope since I am of the same vintage age and have yet to stream. Not interested in any server or files or computers to mess around with. The Lumin gear T2 or if I really reach the X1. I will still own an ... | |
| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? I agree with nquery. I go back a long ways in the Seattle area and have seen a number of stores come and go. I have visited most in the Puget Sound area. I'm rooting for Olsen's Hi-Fi. They really like music, offer some great deals and continu... | |
| New member - Dahlquist DQ10 questions I had the DQ-10's as my first speaker. I drove them with Mac gear (C-28 pre and 2205 Amp). The amp was rated at 200 watts per side. My experience was that they really needed a lot of power / current to get to them going. I don't think you shou... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? When we at RMAF this year, there was an A/B demo in the Synergistic Research room of having the cable lifters in and then out. There was an immediate collapse in the soundstage when they were removed. So the wild card in this demo was that the l... | |
| XA5400ES owners - what are you using now? I have had the Modwright Sony 5400 and now have the Modwright Marantz 8005. It was an upgrade from the Sony in the areas of sound stage, instrument articulation and bass response. I have heard good things about the Marantz SA-10 but have never h... | |
| SACD or not As a general comment I think the Marantz sacd players are built better than the Sony. I had a Modwright Sony ES5400 and the transport tray was a weak point. I now have a Modwright Marantz SA 8005 and it is built very well. I can't comment on th... |
