| recommend a NAS? Hi Rob I just recently picked up a Synology DS214 play and a pair of Western Digital Red 4TB hard drives for about $575 total from Amazon. The NAS has been fantastic utterly reliable and my files stream much better fewer dropouts and also sound be... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? If you think vodka tastes like nothing, and most do, try Boyd & Blair Potato vodka from western PA. It has amazing texture and a hint of butterscotch on the nose, really great and atypical vodka. | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi umn if you can connect the Bluesound to your router via ethernet or usb and then connect a NAS drive up to the router, you should be in business. You would be with Sonos and I'm assuming the Bluesound works basically the same. | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi Sonos works fine with Tidal which is not hi-rez but is lossless. It will not do hi-rez recording but that's not an issue for me. However in the scenario above other units can be substituted for the Sonos. I would assume the Bluesound Node could pr... | |
| Opinions Needed! As someone said you should not be having to replace the small signal tubes, the 12ax7 and 12au7's twice a year, or even once a year for that matter. Small signal tubes should last a very long time, my own amp uses 3 6SN7's up front, different amp ... | |
| How to connect Tidal and an external USB drive to my Audio System without wifi Is your modem router in the same room as your stereo? If so you could do something like hardwire a Sonos connect to your router and then hardwire a hard drive or NAS to your router. Then run a digital cable from the Sonos to your Peachtree. If the... | |
| Placement of DAC It also wouldn't hurt to put some isolation between the DAC and CD player something squishy like a vibrapod perhaps. And definitely coax. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks There are some people doing some very nice stuff with matrixing aka adding crowd noises back in to great sounding soundboards. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Also 5/15/70 which is Road Trips Vol 3 is totally amazing. | |
| Is a KT-77 a plug in for a KT-88? It's a replacement for the EL34, or at least very close was an easy drop in for my amp. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Dick's Pick 4 and I've only hear about five of the Dave's Picks nothing really has stood out to me. | |
| To Variac or not to Variac? FWIW I always power my amp, a Deja Vu Audio PP EL34 17 watter, up with a variac and then just run it off the variac when I listen. I use a 20A variac so tons of current for my relatively low power amp and I noticed a nice drop in the noise floor w... | |
| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? @dave_b Just wondering if the 400xi, which is obviously a much older amp, had low level hum and a high noise floor perhaps it needed to be recapped? Or at least gone over by a tech? I realize you got it just for the shootout and might not care to ... | |
| Audiophile pets and their names... We have two cats but the gf named them, so its Tigger and Trixie. And yes they jump on top of my speakers on occasion, well Tigger does, and Trixie likes to sometimes sleep on top of my power conditioner. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Also if you've never torrented before best to get some help from a friend who knows what he's doing it can be pretty daunting. |
