| Magnepan service shut down (Shakes head in disbelief while scratching Magnepan off his HiFi bucket list) | |
| Recommended streamers/servers? I went from a tweaked Node2i to an Aurender N100SC. Tremendous upgrade imo. | |
| How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume? @ghdprentice Superlative set up man! 🤯I appreciate all the responses, to be clear this is basically just a matter of opportunity. I really love the D400MKII. If I had the room, I’d grab the Pass and keep the ARC. I highly doubt the Pass would dis... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? My oldest piece of gear is a fabulous Audio Research D400MKII from 1993!! | |
| Das Mikrofon vol. II….more fun than swapping cables! @fuzztone Pretty wild how a just a mic can make or break a recording. This just reenforces why I shouldn’t get overly critical about the nuances of my gear. There’s just too many variables that you can’t control. | |
| Node2i to Aurender N100SC…WoW! @jetter yes, the ARC DAC7. The only thing that I added to the Aurender was a Virtual Dynamics power cord. The best I can describe it, is the music has more weight to it, more realistic. The soundstage is magnificent. | |
| Node2i to Aurender N100SC…WoW! @tomic601 I’m assuming I’d have to be going from Aurender to DAC via USB for the jitterbug to do it’s thing? Unfortunately the DAC7 only does 16bit via USB so I go coaxial. | |
| Node2i to Aurender N100SC…WoW! @fuzztone I never had the opportunity to play with the Pi’s or with outboard power supplies. I hear they are excellent. I did have a Lumin U1 mini in my rig for a day and I wasn’t convinced that heard that much of a difference to justify $1700…I w... | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? I did it…sold the Node2i and went with a Aurender N100SC. Can’t wait to get everything up and running! | |
| Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 w/PSU |VS| Lumin U1 Mini Curious if you made a decision… | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement NEARFIELD!! Seriously…compare and evaluate.Also if you want to tweak your set up even further check out the YouTube audiophile, “New Record Day” he has a great tutorial on speaker set up. I messed with it and it really improved on what I thought w... | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? @rocray The Teddy Pedro PS upgrade looks really nice but I just can’t justify spending anymore (much less $500) on tweaking my Node2i. I have a Cat8, Cullen power cord and a Cardas lightning 15 digi coax to a external Dac (ARC 7) and while I’m pre... | |
| ProAc D2 & REL T-Zero mk3 @jjss49 excuse my ignorance, I assumed they go that low being that they easily handled a 30 hz test tone. The little REL doesn’t go to 30 hz either. The crossover dial is marked 30hz - 120hz but the specs have it at -6dB at 37 Hz | |
| Advice on a streamer I’m using a Bluesound Node 2i streaming Qobuz with good cables all around (digital/PC/IC) via CAT8 paired with a decent DAC (ARC DAC7) sounds pretty frickin good to me. I’ve heard the Lumin U1 mini in a comparable rig and while it looks damn sexy ... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute Absolutely love Qobuz! I dumped Tidal last year. Not a fan of MQA (the MQA controversy gave me more reason to dump it) plus I wasn’t enthralled about giving my hard earned money to Jay-Z the drug dealer. |
