| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks, Bryhifi. I think I could at least take a look. It's two different outlets that have the fault -- one feeds the next one. I wonder if correcting the root might also correct the branch. | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? @uberwaltz -- so sorry! I do appreciate knowing that someone else wanted it! Tell you what, if I ever decide to get rid of it, I'll message you and we can arrange something way under market!@djones I often have trouble telling things apart. I'm le... | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? @djones -- thanks. Comparing the Node with the Peachtree will be something to try. Even if their character is different, I’ll learn something. I was going to buy a cable to connect the transport with the Node 2i (something which others said I coul... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Great advice @aball ... looking forward! | |
| Visiting audio stores? I sent a note to one of my local audio stores, telling them I was thinking of them and that I'd be in touch when it seemed safe, and they said that they were doing appointment only and that they're offering in-home loaners during this time. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? "Does it read higher voltage in the other outlets?"Yes. I'll compare different outlets and stop using the bad one.Thanks, Mesch. I'll test. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? No, it's not GFCI, just an outlet run down from another one in the room.I could get a tester if that could tell me that what is wrong is something I could fix myself (assume I have no knowledge, except to turn off the breakers). The Panamax is alr... | |
| Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all! He says his budget is no more than $2500 and folks are suggesting a $19000 Vinnie unit? | |
| Which DAC makers let you do in home trial? Thanks @yakbob That's a really intriguing idea, especially the configurability. I'll try to see if there are reviews, at least! | |
| Visiting audio stores? Yeah, I'm kinda sorry I started this thread. I'm not making light of anything. I'm sheltering in place, too. Just thought I'd open it up, especially about the impact on the dealers and manufacturers. All the other stuff is almost 90% of what I rea... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? I was investigating this question recently and the people on this forum were very helpful. I decided to go with the blue sound node2i because I think this is the technology that is going to change quickly and I wanted to reserve a big amount of mo... | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? @djones51 Thanks for the rec. It's hard to know what advice to take, especially when people have different amps, rooms, and expectations for their system. I really do not expect my system to be huge, with huge power requirements. I know that some ... | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Thanks to further commenters. I'll research what you've added. It's clear that this should be a later consideration, and whatever I decide -- for whatever amount -- the tips about audio hygiene (e.g. how to separate things) seems enduring. Some of... | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Thanks for the clarifications. Saving into notes. | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Thanks so much for answering my question -- I suspect you just saved me a lot of money, but more than that, you helped me prioritize how and when to spend. The one comment that gave me pause was Tvad's: "I had two 20 amp AC lines, circuit breakers... |
