For all you Vinyl lovers!
“BTW Jonathan posted on audiogon many years ago, just like many people who never post again. Think why. “I can think of one possible reason.....when vinyl aficionados stop being music lovers and become obsessed with pushing vinyl supremacy over ot... 
For all you Vinyl lovers!
@yogiboy,I’ve been admiring Jonathan Weiss’s work for a while. May be someday I get to own a pair of his loudspeakers. Also sharing his website, check out the product menu...this guy is a true connoisseur of music. Does anyone know the brand name ... 
The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)
“Nothing to gain, as the two groups are firmly entrenched in their bunkers:1) The measuremantilsts: no matter what measurements you show them, they will never buy anything more expensive than hardware store stuff. Period.2) the subjective people: ... 
My system....what and how will cabling impact?
+1, jab & lwinHRS racks provides excellent isolation. Reach out to Cable company for consultation and trial. The cables are critical link between your components, once you find the ‘right’ set of cables, expect more realistic and holographic s... 
VINYL SUCKS!
@unreceivedogma,Thanks for the Led Zep IV recommendation, I will check it out. 
Ultimate Sinatra: Digital Beats Analog
Qobuz is outstanding...lots of great sounding recordings. No need to go anywhere...hell you don’t even have to get up from your sweet spot :-) Enjoy!  
Are these exceptionally well recorded, or what?
@tomaswv,How many hours do you have now on BC Preamp? Typically preamp has 200-300 hours break-in period. As far recording goes, Veronica Swift’s ‘This Better Earth’ is one of my favorite song.....so I concur she is right there in the room and how... 
VINYL SUCKS!
“I happen to have a few LPs among my thousands that are actually stone cold quiet.”@unreceiveddogma,Would you please provide some titles so i can give it a spin in my system? “digital solid state sounds flat. Vinyl tube sounds dimensional.”A blank... 
Where does it end?
“Last month I spent $4,300 on a pair of *used* speaker cables.”Well, you didn’t say what brand of cables or details of rest of your system but $4300 is lot of money for used speaker cables. May be rest of your system is say over $100K to justify t... 
Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh!
@musicfan2349,Great move on buying the Border Patrol DAC to get the best sound out of Node 2i. I’m not clear on why you need long CAT8 cable if you’re using a mesh router. If you worried about EMI/RFI interferences from mesh, I suggest you use Sti... 
VINYL SUCKS!
Vinyl is far from perfect when compared to R2R and Digital. I have yet to hear a pressing that is completely devoid of surface noise, pops, glitch and ticks. IME, Vinyl is a constant reminder that you are listening to a inferior audio format...all... 
Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh!
+1, jetter. Supra CAT 8 is a worthy upgrade for Node 2i. If you find this cable overkill then it seems streaming is not your focus :-) If you use Node 2i for background music then please don’t waste your money on Supra. PS: I would not use powerli... 
Pimping your router
@pokey77,I am not familiar with your setup. Are you currently running a 20FT fiberoptic cable from etherRegen to your streamer? My Apple router is only 4FT away from my streamer and ENO Filter can only accept RJ45 LAN cable. The improvements I’ve ... 
Streamers with best apps?
“Streamers with best apps?”For me, Aurender with their Conductor App. Been using it for 5 plus years. Nothing else out there I care or feel the need to explore :-)  
Pimping your router
Interesting conversations.....I have tried Fiberoptic years ago and to my ears, fiber did not sounded fuller and dynamic compare to LAN cable (RJ45). I also prefer a simpler and clutter free approach, the fewer devices (conversions) in the chain y...
