Vandersteen 1ci vs Totem Arro
I had the Totem Aro speakers paired with a Prima Luna Classic integrated amp (their lowest model).  It wasn't a good pairing.  When I auditioned the Aro, the dealer had them paired with one of the better PrimaLuna amps. Big difference.  I moved on... 
Wavelength Proton DAC vs. Codex & Adding a server/renderer
Thanks, that makes sense. I hadn't thought of the balanced vs. unbalanced aspect. Sorry, I can be dense that way. Anyone have thoughts on the streaming source? 
Rotel RA-1570 to Ayre AX-7e
yage, thanks I have an old integrated to use as long as turning on tape out doesn’t interrupt the AX-7 output to main. Can I put both spades under the speaker connection or would I have to re-terminate to have a single upstream spade? 
Rotel RA-1570 to Ayre AX-7e
Thanks. So considering this brings up a question. I currently have speakers A&B with the Rotel. The A is my main and B is my kitchen. In there I have two 8 Ohm in wall speakers for each side (4 total). It's been a while but I'm pretty sure I w... 
Codex as pre or new CD Player
Thanks badri - I'll read your thread, which I'm not sure how I missed. Performing as a "high quality" pre isn't exactly what I had in mind, just a "better quality" pre than the preamp portion of the Rotel. :-) My plan, (until something changes) is... 
Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone
Thanks for that suggestion elevick. I have tried:Uninstalling and reinstalling the app.  Cycling the router on and off.  Playing the playlist "off-line".The action that seem to have the biggest difference was power cycling the router and restartin...

From TidalThank you for contacting TIDAL customer support. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Our backend operations team is aware of these playback issues, and they are working very hard to get this problem resolved in in a timely manner. A... 
Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone
OK, I'll try the delete and reinstall and then learn why matt figures it won't work the way Tidal suggests. In terms of the rest of Matt's comments.... I don't know what LTB means, or how to set up a music server yet. I'm planning on doing that - ... 
Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone
Thanks, this is with the phone resting on the rack, directly connected via cable to the amp.The part that gets me most confused though is that if it's Wi-Fi related, why would the app spontaneously start playing when the song is supposed to be pau... 
Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone
Hmm, ok thanks. I'll see what I can do and maybe move my router to be closer as well.  
Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone
Thanks - jl35, How can I verify that is the problem?  What did you do to fix it - move your router? 
Single vs Double Bi-wire....should I reconsider?
I checked on the spades - all good with the AQ cables.For spacers - I thought I might do something in wood - it will match the floor and look nice. The other alternative is that I can make a computer model and one of the guys that works with me ... 
Single vs Double Bi-wire....should I reconsider?
Hmm, I hadn't thought of that - I'll double check the Vandersteen specs against the AQ spades. Thanks. 
A little help please
That started before I left the audition room. One of the first things John did was play something on them using a better amp and source so I could hear what the speakers were capable of.Still, while I look forward to that next upgrade - I'm enjoyi...
