| best external drive for ripping CDs @mahler123. Funny. I have a BOT-1 as well, picked up used from a Bryston dealer, the thing did burn about 100 CDs before it flaked out. It appears to have a problem with the power supply as the green light flashes (should be a constant green) but ... | |
| eero mesh WiFi system Just get a 2 node mesh, its worth it. One node as the base the other at your rig hard wired to the Nucleus. Everyone I know including me has negative experience with extenders. | |
| Radio Paradise Playlist Sometimes it does go out of sync but I just looked on the mainstream and its in sync | |
| Can a Bluesound Node's Streamer Be Bypassed and be used as an External Dac? Would need a digital input | |
| RIP Jeff Beck Go to the youtubes and watch his performance of NADIA with Wilkenfeld and Colaiuta. He does most of the song with the tremolo active & cupped in his hand. Great recording as well with every instrument coming through. Tight, beautiful. Perfe... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. I can only but agree with mijostyn. I am a record collector from the 70s, have reduced my collection to around 1200 or so now. I would not bother with vinyl now if strarting from scratch. I had a superb vinyl setup, kuzma XLDC, 4pt, Atlas, Ypsi... | |

| Rogue Preamp RP-1 I been running an RP-1 one for years with Mullards. It's a great little pre for the money. Especially if you can pick one up for around $1K used. You can proly get rid of your separate Phono Pre as the Rogue phono stage is purdy respectable. Y... | |
| Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers Really nice looking Dynaudio Evoke 20 over on Usaudiomart for $1.8K. I have the Evoke 10 on a 2nd system and like them very much. Also a Quad S-2 over there and thats another speaker that punches above its weight class. If you could find a Quad S-... | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) Rotel CD 11 over on TMR NAD 568 on TMR USAUdiomart: Rotel 1570 Rega Apolo Rotel CD14 | |
| Best digital source for USB dac under 2000 used? Doesn't Spotify stream at a max 320Kbps? | |
| Why limit yourself to one streaming service? I guess it depends on what genres and how obscure your music choices are. I find lots of things on Deezer, for example, that aren’t on Qubuz. If Roon ever integrates with Deezer I might add that along with my Qobuz subscription. I had it fo... | |
| Radio Paradise becoming repetitive? SOMA. only plays at 320kbp but if you got a upsampling DAC it still sound purdy good especially for Wall Paper listening. | |
| Radio Paradise becoming repetitive? Old ,stained and ragged. Its time for me to replace my RP hoodie |
