| Bluesound node confusion My situation has changed. My old Outlaw preamp/processor has died so now I’m going to have to use the standalone streamer dac as a preamp also so now I’m looking at the node icon, but there are some other ones out there that are comparable in pric... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Dirac correction is probably worth it to me. Internal dad should be fine for the level of system I’m running it in. Thanks everyone for the input! | |
| Bluesound node confusion Thanks for all the info! I didn’t know the 130 referred to the 2021 version. I was planning on getting no earlier than that so that helps me a whole bunch. Thanks for the source references too. I was watching a YouTube video about the node that th... | |
| Bluesound node confusion Thanks for that | |
| Bluesound node confusion Gapless streaming. Auto correct got me again! | |
| Bluesound node confusion The icon is nice I’m sure but I’m looking for hapless streaming for five hundred dollars or less. If the dac performance is good enough for now I can always add a better dac later. I was trying to differentiate between the standard versions of the... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Every speaker I have ever heard brought something unique to the show. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. Sometimes wow! But they all let you hear the music from a different perspective. That being said, my experience with the 901’s was in the barr... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) Bloody Pig Ahead rings out is not bad but it’s hard to pick a best. There are too many good ones! | |
| Tone Arm Lifter Cue up works for me! Nothing sexy about it but it gets the job done. One caviat though. Tonearm height is tight for some tables. I have a mmf 7.3 and the stock setup requires me to strip the pad off of the lifter so it is a little noisy when activ... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? Sub, or better still subs in stereo are going to make a marked improvement in your system. That’s where the oomph is! Cheers | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? Onzow zerodust works amazingly well for me and as far as I can tell it doesn’t leave residue behind which is the main culprit. It will always be a problem unless you live in a cleanroom or heaven forbid use your table with a dust cover on. Not so ... | |
| Tonearm resonance HAD money for subs! I love vinyl but it’s not the only source I listen to. Certainly tweaking what I have is a worth while effort and a means to leapfrog to something better down the road. Any thing I do now could be applied there including cartri... | |
| Tonearm resonance Furshur not a lot of fans of the bronze but still a step up from what I had. I believe also an Ortophon OM2. Was considering a Hana EL. Just bought a pair of Rel s510 subs and one of my amps lost a channel right after so I’m a bit spent out for th... | |
| Tonearm resonance Tried removing the lid completely instead of just leaving it up during play and background improves somewhat but doesn't solve the the whole problem. Motor is separate from the the plynth. Good quality stand on carpet over concrete so that shouldn... | |
| Tonearm resonance I would just like to experience a blacker background and I really think tonearm noise is feeding back through the cartridge. That's how it sounds to me. I could be way off base but I thought that might be a good place to start. I certainly appreci... |
