| How do you explain audiophiles to your friends? I can't, as they don't understand any of it. Friends, family, work colleagues. I usually end up (with any of my equipment) saying "it's supposed to..." I'm not Robert | |
| Streamer - if I can't get a CA Azur 851n then what? @canibefrank Let us know if you managed to nab the Cambridge Azur. | |
| Need your streaming expertise! And the Project Stream Box Ultra 2 was perfect for what I needed, a good footprint and well reviewed. | |
| Need your streaming expertise! I'd considered buying one of the SMSL network players. Decided not to, since I didn't need the Dac which is built into these units. | |
| Need your streaming expertise! I have to be wireless, due to a flat roof, and system is 10 metres from the router. Had been streaming Tidal from a MacBook Pro to Dac with a Halide Bridge, or Bluetooth via an iFi Zen Blue via iPhone. Have since replaced this with a Project Str... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? ...it sounds bad, thin, edgy, image is in a letterbox between the speakers That doesn't sound promising. Hopefully the switch I've bought will begin reducing the noise. Then considering a SOtM Cat6 Isolation Filter, or Acoustic Revive LAN isola... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Will have a listen to this. If there is noise, the switch I'm getting has optical, which I've read is a way to eliminate noise. | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? I'd read that mesh was better than an extender. But space is limited, so have gone for a TP-Link 650 wifi extender. Yet to set it up, but taking ethernet out to a switch (just buying that now) to my streamer. | |
| Setting up a Mac mini as a music server, and other digital music questions I had my old MacBook Pro as the source on my system, using a Halide Bridge USB-SPIDF converter to my Dac. Had ALAC files on iTunes, a few 24/96 files and Tidal playing through Audirvana. Was pretty happy with what that gave. Had considered upg... | |
| Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultta I've lost access, but that's because I've upgraded my phone, and Apple ID says I have to wait two weeks before I can change the password and re-download apps! | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. I’m a hoarder, pure and simple. No logical reason to have as many amps as I do. Or Dacs, speakers, headphones etc. And aiming to part with more of them in the New Year. A few pieces I won’t let go. One being my first pre/power amp, a Plinius th... | |

| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @duckworp 11-17-2021 5:32pm If you want a good switch that does not cost a lot may I recommend the Cisco 2960. I actually run an optical cable from the Cisco to the Ethergen, and it sounds incredible. I’m interested in the optical cable. ... | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations @anzaanimalclinic I'm thinking of adding a filter into my streamer at some stage. Looking at the SOtM iSO Cat 6 LAN, Acoustic Revive LAN RLI-1GB-TRIPLE-C, or maybe a Network Acoustics ENO |
