| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) It's pretty devastating. The Niagara 1000 does better, but not really qualifies as "worth the money" according to Amir. $5500 is a lot of dough to raise the noise floor. | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! @ronboco I did 2" on top because I believe lighter gear will be up there -- streamer, DAC, Preamp. Lower shelf may have a very heavy Pass Labs amp. I don't even know if the above makes sense from a vibration point of view, I just thought, "thic... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! @denverfred I just learned (from a fellow audiophile) that Nobsound springs, Townshend podiums, and Synergistic Hfts are huge. Heaven help me. | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. @jperry +1 | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 +1 for a very thoughtful post. And I’ve said this many times on this thread, but I’ll say it once more: the main issue for me is not about McIntosh or Wilson or Magico or any specific brand. It was his presumption that he could divide tho... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Thanks, all. @elrod Nat is a super nice person -- he was a gentle, kind, and very supportive teacher to both my children. I hope he flourishes doing something he loves just as much. Yes, can't scrimp on materials! Good call! | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! @acmaier3 Roughly $1.2k. Would have been less if I had gone with 1.5" or 2" for all shelves, but I wanted it to be super dead. @barts Not sure about amp stands yet. Need to see how it all looks. | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio I look for equipment that sounds good, is well made, durable, and not fickle. My Quicksilver and Pass gear pass those tests. Not sure if they're high end, but they're not fickle. | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Thanks! Not sure what legs are. 2" top shelf, 3" bottom, both maple. I wanted it about 4' across, 18" deep, and as close to the floor as possible, since I do not want to spend on long interconnects and I don't have balanced gear -- in other words,... | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? Thanks, all. So, $200 with the power supply. That's a good deal. @jjss49 asked whether it improved the sound when sending the sound out to an external DAC. Can you confirm that was your setup? I might have missed that detail in your descriptions... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Thanks! So many of us live near good carpenters; it seemed like a no-brainer to stay local on this. Plus, custom design! | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? I got the PD Creative update from Poland and installed it in a node2. It then requires an out board linear power supply which I didn’t know when I did it.. however I got one from Amazon and installed a synergistic black fuse, and used a thick s... | |

| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @tomcy6 Today’s generation, and I include you in that category, only whines that they’re not being spoonfed to their liking Feel free to speak for yourself. You don't know me, know what I do, so please don't speak for me. Let's talk about aud... | |
| Modded Orchid MHDT vs. Holo Audio May DAC @jjss49 The video was helpful. It put the Holo Audio craze into some perspective, especially insofar as the Schiit Iggy and the Chord Hugo TT2 dac comparisons. I'm happy to cool my jets a bit on Holo Audio Envy for a while. |
