| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? It all depends on what device is used for streaming. Even with the higher speed, buffering can still be in play. I get 100Mb/s on average and sometimes even up to 200 Mb/s and sometimes get the hiccups when I use my real old windows laptop. Never ... | |
| Biamping with very different amps I stand corrected. I misread george's post. | |
| Chromecast and external DAC Got the Chromecast gadget set up and so far only listened through the analog output and it sounds real good. I had been using a similar arrangement using the analog/earphone output of my iPhone and with the obvious benefit of wireless access/con... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? If I ever decide to consolidate all my boxes into one, I'd go for a McIntosh MA9000. | |
| Biamping with very different amps george, the suggestion of using a volume control device such as Schiit Sys will not work in this particular situation since that will reduce the overall volume going into the preamp and not change the gain of the amplifier. Al has accurately and c... | |
| Chromecast and external DAC I just picked one up earlier this afternoon. Can’t believe how small it is! Unfortunately I couldn’t find the optical cable locally so had to order it online. Real anxious to try it with the Modi Multibit and see how it compares with my Bluesound ... | |
| calling all Guru;s, Ideas on audiophyle high effeiciency speakers solicited There’s a Krell KSA 300s up for sale right now that you may want to consider given your listening habit and previous fondness for the brand. You may just need a floor jack if you need to move it around the room. | |
| Chromecast and external DAC Thank you gentlemen. Appreciate all the inputs and the links. So it looks like what I’ll need is a mini optical to regular optical cable to hook it up to the Modi. I already have a the 3.5mm mini plug to stereo RCA adaptor which I currently use to... | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp Congratulations. Your 8’ cables, especially of such high quality should not pose an issue but a pair of ARC 250SEs as compared with an ARC Ref110 may give you different results. I’m sure I’m stating the obvious but you may want to try the larger M... | |
| Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems... 2psyop, thanks for the suggestion. I haven’t had any dropout issues with my BS but always wondered if using an Ethernet cable to the BS from this device could improve the sound quality. Any experience with this set up? | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso “A percentage of Gon member's are in the same camp. Buy just for show. I just don't get it. They would be better off investing in a car collection or coin collection.”Was this comment really necessary? I have not heard any of the Belles products ... | |
| review iPhono 2 Thanks. I didn't mean to open up the debate about whether or not burn in makes a difference. Some do some don't. It was the perceived duration that just struck me as odd. I can assure you I would not remember how something sounded a year or so ago... | |
| review iPhono 2 I was considering to stretch my budget a little and get the ifi - vs. Schiit Mani with aftermarket LPS, but these long burn-in requirements turned me off a bit. Doing the math, even if I listened to records two hours every night, it could take a f... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs "...unless I can obtain equal quality on a new one..."Surprisingly no one suggested the usual suspect, Schiit Yggdrasil. No personal experience but lots of positive reviews and lots of love... | |
| Sophia Electric Baby Integrated Amplifier It is indeed dead quiet even with 94dB speakers with ears right at the drivers. If you’re handy with soldering iron and can pay attention to details- you know tube gear run at extremely high voltages, you can upgrade the stock capacitors or have i... |
