| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @rms456 Often thought about the Aurender, but it misses out for large libraries unless I'm missing the point on how their conductor application works. Aurender can play files directly from a NAS. I just set mine up and it works perfectly. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Ultimately, I want to be able to judge whether it is worth spending any more on my vinyl hardware, or stick with digital. You can play leapfrog with you vinyl and digital front ends for the rest of your life. Upgrade your vinyl system and it w... | |
| Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H I bought a used N100SC a few years ago and had a ton of issues with it at first, but it has been 100% rock solid and reliable lately. I'm not sure if it's because of software updates or a new router I had Verizon install, but something clearly ch... | |
| better wood for a plinth The 301 and 401's chassis are aluminum. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last week at the Gorge. This band is amazing and they're peaking right now. Every show this tour was top notch. There were no off nights. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @dover "When you buy something like DAS plinth you are buying weetbix wrapped in xmas paper." That's a little harsh, no? I think most (maybe all) DAS plinths are 100% birch ply (not counting the veneer obviously) with the exception of the ones... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lalitk What specifically do you not like about the DAS plinth? I believe yours is constructed with a slab of MDF on the top. That's how he builds the plinths with the radiused edges because he can't wrap the radiused edges with veneer. If it... | |
| why expensive streamers @soix - That was exactly my experience. | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Does anyone unplug all the electronics in their house... My stereo is easily the most expensive and hardest to replace, so I naturally unplug it. I also unplug my computers and welders, but they're just expensive. | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps @tattooedtrackman that's exactly how I unplug my amps, crossover, and powerstrip every time a storm rolls through (I just did it again, actually). It's easier for me to do it at the component than at the wall. | |
| why expensive streamers I went from a Node 2 to a used Aurender that cost $1,800 a few years ago and had no expectations. I was blown away at the difference. You can now buy the same streamer for around 1K. The "streamers make no difference" people are typically those... | |

| How would you spend my next $5K? I win, lol! 😀 | |
| Rediscovered My album collection. Where to buy online. @grislybutter what is the point of buying a new vinyl and not streaming or buying the same content on a CD? Many newly pressed vinyl releases are new AAA tape transfers that are not available on CD or streaming platforms. Tone Poet, Atlantic... | |
| Rediscovered My album collection. Where to buy online. Amazon is one of the best places to buy vinyl as long as you have Prime/free returns. The packaging is usually great (record mailer inside another box) and returns are simple if there's an issue with the record. |
