| Stepping into streaming, finally Well, I have devoted today to ABC comparison in a serious way, I think. Here is what I found. CDs outperforming Staccato after all, mostly in soundstage region. My original assessment must have been due to being greatly surprised by how much bett... | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @romanesq I was thinking to try optical connection between Staccato and Venus, but I thought, based on opinions I came across, that optical was inferior to high quality coax. Well, I will give it a try. What toslink cable do you use? This is one ... | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @lalitk @jond I might give it a try, nothing to lose. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @lalitk I do not know what to tell you. Maybe my system is not revealing enough. I have Caladans coming, will see if they better the Sonus Fabers or maybe my hearing? I think at this point the sound quality is comparable, granted I have not spent ... | |

| Stepping into streaming, finally @mahler123 No question about Wiim and Node being entry level and definitely going up the ladder will make improvements. I am sure all of us experienced it in our ladder climbing process. @hilde45 I was very much surprised how much improvements we... | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally The price I paid was $249 from EarMen web site. There is no WiFi connectivity with Stacatto. | |
| Best investment; cartridge or line stage? @milo0812 What cartridge do you have? There is no Rega Aria cartridge. | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @vthokie83 Thanks for really outstanding review. Now, I am even more anxious for mine to arrive, hopefully any day now. | |
| on the cheap @panzrwagn "Wi-Fi is a type of wireless Ethernet. Ethernet is a wired technology that connects devices in a local area network (LAN). WiFi technology uses radio signals to transfer data and wired Ethernet connections use a physical twisted pair et... | |
