| Streamer question More clarification here. If I want to listen to Spotify or Qobuz I access their app on my Ipad. I do not use the Bluesound software at all. When I log in to either service it recognizes the Blusound as an output device so I select it. I am us... | |
| Streamer question Thank you all for your replies. I need to clarify; I use the Node for streaming only. The output goes to a highly modified MHDT Orchid. All I really want is a better streamer and I'd like the option of using the Spotify app or the Qobuz app an... | |

They are probably close to worthless.I still find myself buying cds in spite of subscribing to two streaming services. For the past year I've had the thought that each cd I... | |

| Forever speakers around $5000 +1 for Erik's comment | |
| Seating height and bass If I remember correctly, most speakers want the tweeter to be positioned at ear height. That would be step number one. The old leather couch in my listening room is 32 1/2 years old. We bought it when we got married. When I bought new speakers... | |
