| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? I’ve used Acopian. Built like a tank. Made a cord to go with it. Photo here:https://www.audiogon.com/systems/9064#&gid=1&pid=28 Bought unit on ebay for $140 from Florida Industrial supply. No problems, works great. | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon I heard one powering some incredible Sound Lab speakers that were 7 feet tall. Given how unusual those speakers are, I cannot imagine where the amp sound characteristics ended and the speakers began. | |
| Aalto Acoustics Lab in Finland @asctim Honestly, I didn't get a very powerful impression because our host was talking about the room the whole time we were in there. I should have asked for a few minutes alone in the room to get the experience! | |
| Aalto Acoustics Lab in Finland For those interested in classical music, this is worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6CaFwfdlgU&ab_channel=InstitutJeanLeRondd%27Alembert | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video +1 @stuartk Well said. The other thing about audio is there is an alternative to being OCD and upgrading. One can change laterally. Different sounds, different flavors. Like a guitarist who has multiple axes or who changes them, or a person who t... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @audioman58 You a coffee drinker? ;-) You've got the Kerouac style down. Or, as Truman Capote said, "That's not writing, that's typing." | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video I'm a bit skeptical about this YouTuber for some of the reasons/impressions listed here. That said, he's right when he says that making this video goes against his own channel's "brand." So, he gets points for that. Something about the OCD label... | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music Studying with Martino was amazing. We scheduled the lesson for one hour but usually ran it to two. He was very interesting to listen and ask questions of. I taped all our lessons. I went 9 times. In 2017 he played in Denver (where I live) and I we... | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music I studied guitar with Pat Martino while he was still living at his parent's house (after his recovery had begun) in 1988-89. | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? It would be interesting to see if you can compare a new streamer with your Bluesound 2i. I have the 2i and also a newer streamer (a DIY built to very high standards), but in all my comparisons, the DAC is the component that made a noticeable diffe... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? I have never tasted dog doo. But I'm pretty sure I have an opinion about whether it's worth tasting. | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? @ghdprentice To each his own. A few things Thoreau had right, in my view, was that progress is often oversold, people allow themselves to be hurried by forces they might not really approve of, and simplicity is too easily tossed aside. In other wo... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? I wonder if anyone has sought to downgrade their system, not to save money or because they needed the money, but because of the idea that living more simply will force them to focus more on the music. This would be the Henry David Thoreau approac... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @glennewdick Maybe I am overthinking it. Thank you for helping me think correctly. | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? I can forget sound easily and focus on music because my basic acoustic needs are satisfied: Imaging , sound staging, holography, timbre, etc You have arrived a totally blessed place! Hopefully everyone else can join you, there! |
