Bluos and youtube music
But, if you have a computer, then you would simply connect the computer to the Node and listen away. How exactly do you connect the computer to the Node?  I didn't think it was possible. 
CD Player vs. music streaming
Ketchup are you incredulous that an Auralic or Aurender server is besting the Node? LOL, no.  Why would you think that?  I simply had a few specific questions for mgrif104 that myself and others would probably like to have the answers to.  This ... 
CD Player vs. music streaming
While I don’t have experience with Innuos server/streamers, I do with Aurender and Auralic as I own units from both companies and have been able to do A/B comparisons against the Node 2.  No contest.@mgrif104 Did you use the same DAC when compar... 
Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time
This guy is a trip.  He sums up what happened after Jim died pretty well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXbPAwnLccY  
Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time
Thiel was gone long ago.  The company that existed after Jim's death had nothing in common with the real Thiel except for the name.  Now that was sad.  This liquidation is not surprising at all considering how they completely screwed up the brand. 
Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components
I only have one question here.Why the heck does EVERY statement Clearthink makes have to be in multiples of three for the adjectives?Is one or two not sufficient to get the point across?Seriously it is REALLY annoying and does detract from any po...

Switching the crossovers will tell you if it's a crossover or driver problem. 
Whats that sound with Volume set to off?
I wonder if it is the record vibrating.  Do the two tables have different record clamping systems or platter mats? 
Speaker Setup.....
Pdf? Really? In 2019? Don't they know we all use smart phones? Make your info screen adaptive. You have a smartphone in 2019 that can't open a pdf?  What is it, one of those iphones?!

Grannyring,  Are those listening notes before or after burn in? 
Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer?
Sorry, but not bolting a high voltage component to the chassis is idiotic. Plus, if you isolate the bolt and transformer correctly, it will be like it’s not bolted in at all until you actually need to count on the bolt, like if you pick the compon... 
Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer?
Thanks for the tip, Ralph! I think I’ll mount my transformer with a non-magnetic stainless bolt.I would like to know why you say not to use a stainless nut, though. I build a lot of stainless parts for race cars and for food and beverage and try n... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
If you really want to see something disturbing, search for Dartzeel on Aliexpress. 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
I can see why they are naming DAC's R2R, because that's the only way you can get CD's to sound like LP's; that's by recording them and playing back on a good 2 track; in reality, you have transformed digital into analog, because there is nothi... 
Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer?
I just bought a toroidal transformer for a project and it actually came with a foam mounting pad for isolation. I plan on gently tightening the mounting bolt so the foam doesn’t compress too much. Not bolting it down at all seems a little too risky.
