| Added a LHY OCK 2 to EtherRegen > Bricasti chain Anybody else think the brookepeterson post was written by AI? I fiddled with Chatbot a little bit and I it’s been the same style. Not saying it’s a crime or anything if it was. Welcome to 2023… That post from brookepeterson is one of the weirde... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @ketchup Sounds interesting. Any chance of getting a photo so I understand your placement? @tomrk I just added some pics to my system. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! 3.6R’s, purchased used as a trade-in from a local audio/video store. The price was extremely aggressive since they just wanted to get rid of them (look up the used price online and it was 1/3 of that). Yes, these particular speakers need a lot o... | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! I'm not sure how legit this is, but it says that the fifth method is an alligator clip (#2). | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @bdp24 Adding a sub or two to almost any planar will result in improvements in a couple of ways. Most importantly, relieved of reproducing bass, the Maggie "woofers" will now reproduce the midrange in a noticeably improved manner. The speaker w... | |

| Is there an affordable all in one Flac burning appliance? I'm confused. Are you trying to burn CDRs or perform DAE (digital audio extraction) from CDs? | |

| Ultrasonic record cleaners @reubent I use the recipe shown here with success. I then do two rinses with a vacuum machine. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack I certainly WOULD give it a try but I need WiFi connection and have a perfect 800mb connection. Lumin, aurender, auralic all require direct Ethernet and that would be a pain as I have a 120 yo home with thick brick walls. can aur... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack and can’t imagine a much cleaner result. I think that's a common reaction to new upgrades, but the fact of the matter is that there's always something better. I considered an LPS for my Node but ended up getting a different streame... | |
| Audiophile Switch with Clock? In other words - please ignore the sane voices in the hobby! In other words, please ignore the people who are not speaking from actual experience. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup Thanks, @lalitk. I appreciate your and everyone else's advice! The power cord on the Aurender in an AQ NRG-Y3 and the one on the DAC is a factory-style one, albeit very beefy. I have a few Oyaide Black Mambas that I can try on any of the compo... | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded Totally stock. I did a little tube rolling years ago, but didn't hear much of a difference. My system wasn't very resolving or fine tuned back then, though. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bh123 - Great post. I had a similar experience going from a Node 2 to a N100SC. |
