Bluesound Node settings
Thanks @oddiofyl ​​​​​@mahler123. I have literally been all over the map trying to find if there are differences in Coax vs USB. It seems it's almost a split but more leaning towards USB a tad. I know like everything else it's so subjective. Probl... 
Bluesound Node settings
Thanks for the replies…USB? I’m going coax to the DENAFRIPS. Is there a difference?   
Rediscovery
Always been a CD guy. In fact I just recently picked up an old Elite 101 disc carousel as a backup to my Brennan B2 which I have ripped all of my cd's to. I switch back and forth between the Elite and the Brennan. I have a DENAFRIPS Ares II 12th o... 
There is none out there......
This will do the trick and much less costly than the mesh. You just have to make sure they are on the same circuit. Not circuit as in circuit breaker but as I understand it in the USA there are 2 different zones (call them zones for lack of a bett... 
I Cried Today
Very touching. You know as I have gotten older when I hear about someone passing, even people I didn’t know and have never and would never meet, it gives me much more pause these days. Even reading this and hearing if John’s passing touches me. Ma... 
Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
Great post and totally agree! I currently have Revel Performa F228Be. They are breathtaking. But honestly, nothing I've heard or have owned since back in 2001 has come close to Dynaudio Audience 82's. I had to sell my entire rig after my divorce i... 
Recommendations for 7 channel amp
https://earthquakesound.com/index.php/en/home-audio-division/home-products/home-amplifiers/item/cinenova-7   Joseph Sayhoun is the owner and not only do they build amazing amplifiers, Joseph himself sent me a video of him actually making mine (I ... 
3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel?
Agree with everyone else. Keep the 5 channels absolutely! I too run 5 channels like you but mostly listen in 2 channel. But every time the wife and I watch a movie we really appreciate those surrounds!   How about this; add 2 more REL subs? I run... 
Leave system on or power everything down?
@imhififan  very interesting, I did not know that about the Earthquake. Thank you! I also have a Simaudio Titan 5 channel amp. I’d always wanted this from when they first came out back in like 2000, but I couldn’t afford one at that time. Had a ch... 
Leave system on or power everything down?
@jl35 You are correct on that! I do not like to waste anything😂😊! Great call!  
Leave system on or power everything down?
You are all awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to help!   it seems like almost a 50-50 split on this😂! You all make great points on both sides and it all makes sense…   @bigtwin thanks for the laugh, yeah maybe consensus wasn’t the ri... 
Leave system on or power everything down?
Thanks for the replies. I actually did reach out on the Grande and he said leave it on, but then changed and said turn it off when not in use “doesn’t really matter’. I can reach out to Krell and SVS as they’ve both always been very responsive. Sa... 
Leave system on or power everything down?
Thanks @soix  appreciate the reply and that makes sense. And it’s never been about the energy cost, more about what’s best for the components. I know turning on and off does contribute to wear and tear but I wondered if leaving on or idle also con... 
Being alone with your music
What a great post…and for me, alone is truly the only way to listen. Door closed, curtains closed, lights off, complete isolation.    @mrskeptic as I have often said, music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Nothing else can actually tr... 
Costliest Brainfart
So sorry to hear this. I can fully, unfortunately, empathize. Whilst OCD can sometimes be a good thing, when it comes to adjusting and tweaking components this can be detrimental. In my constant neurotic quest to get every single component exactly...
