| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer Within the last two days I have been researching the Volumio Rivo+ with an external LPS. I really like what I’ve read and watched about it so far. Seems like 90-95% of what the Aurender N200 offers but at a third of the price. For its price and... | |
| Moon 861 amp with a McIntosh C12000 preamp - do I set the switch to ac or dc on the Moon? I don’t know of your preamp having issues with outputting DC, generally speaking. If you’re really concerned you can measure the DC output with a multimeter across the output terminals with the preamp on but no output signal playing. I would thi... | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th I had an issue with my Hermes within the past month and Denafrips was exceedingly responsive. They had me check a couple things out myself and then sent me an RMA via email. The issue resolved itself, still not sure how, but I chatted with TekAu... | |
| Buyer Beware Haven’t read all the posts and I’m sure this is not the first time you’ll read this but you bought used. And not from the vendor. Caveat emptor like your posts states. He did offer a discount on new ones though which I think is pretty fair. | |

| ??? Why Don't More Streaming Services Do This ??? Both Tidal and Qobuz have related artists, albums, and tracks you can use to find new music similar to an artist, album or song you like.

| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up I had the RS250A awhile ago and I found the software to be glitchy. Tidal streams would play at the wrong bitrate and sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. I found the UI to be ok but not great. I could have lived with the interface as it sound... | |
| McIntosh MA8950 Upgrade to MA12000? For the cost of the MA12000 I’d seriously consider the MC462 and the C2800 for not too much more money. Or just get monoblocks and get the MC611 with the C2800. If cost is an issue then you could use the 8950 pre with either the 462 or 611 and ... | |
| Music streaming @twangy57 When I find an artist I like i use related artists a lot. It’s easy to find similar artists that way and easy to spend hours doing it. | |
| Music streaming @twangy57 i have both Tidal and Qobuz. I think Tidal has a ton 70s rock. I would say the only content that Qobuz has a better selection of is classical (and maybe Jazz but I wouldn’t bet on it).. | |
| Music streaming @speedysteve4 i had the RS250A for a short time. It sounded excellent but the software was wonky. After a couple of days with it Tidal tracks started streaming at incorrect bit rates and everything sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Qobuz wo... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? @freediver I know right! AI is amazing especially when you can prompt for exactly what you want to get to. The answers contained some of what I was thinking but it would have taken me a lot of research to come up with something not as clear or co... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? And one for rock music: Rock music often necessitates turning the volume up loud for a combination of musical, historical, and psychoacoustic reasons: 1. Musical Characteristics: Energy and Impact: Rock music is often characterized by high ... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? Here’s what Google Gemini says: Relaxing, soothing music doesn't necessitate a high volume for several key reasons, primarily related to how our brains process sound and the specific characteristics of this type of music: 1. Psychoacoustic Pri... |
