| Subwoofer insight. When it comes to two channel music, nothing in my opinion rivals REL subs. For your room size, you need to go with a pair of S5 or newer S/812. I switched from JL audio to REL Carbon Limited and couldn’t be any happier. You can always send an emai... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @artemus_5,Do I need to run a network wire from my router to the Streamer? OR Can it run on wireless? - You can run it wirelessly but hardwired is better as it rejects any RF noise interferences and dropouts. Can I download necessary files for str... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @uberwaltz,I think Node 2i or Vault 2 (used) is a safe and logical choice given OP’s $2K budget. Even if he decides to take the same upgrade path as you, he can still use Vault 2 for ripping CD’s. You and I both know CD players are going to be ext... | |

| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @artemus_5,Don’t stress too much about the interface or feel overwhelmed by so many options. Pick up Bluesound, get acclimated with streaming and app (use a iPad for best experience and ease) and continue to explore DAC options. For the price of N... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? artemus_5,You can certainly use a laptop to stream audio files but it won’t sound as good as dedicated ‘audio’ streamer from aforementioned brands. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @artemus_5,The Innuos Zen Mini + PSU is a two box, streamer with built in DAC and external power supply. You can start with single box (streamer w/DAC) but it does sounds better with external power supply. If you want to hook up your CDP into a DA... | |

| High Quality XLR IC's For My System @rlb61, Glad to hear you’re enjoying AE cables. I picked up AE Studio Prestige RCA IC’s at RMAF 2018. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from the light weight but well made no frill cable. After 50 hour burn-in they exceeded all of my expectations. Ha... | |
| What should I choose?? OP,If your mind set on B&W and Bryson, I would suggest upgrading your speakers first, the newer D3 series is completely redesigned and improved. Pairing it with your old Bryson amp will give you a pretty good idea on how they sound together. I... | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Clean power over more watts for sure...I would start with a good power distribution strip like Nordost QB8. And then systematically add rest of the power correction components from their QRT line. That’s the beauty of Nordost modular approach. And... | |
| Aurender VS Innuos If you don’t care about CD ripper or Roon Interface, then Aurender N100H is a better choice over Zen-MKIII. N100H sound and build is top notch, their proprietary Conductor app is very stable, easy to use and well laid out. The customer service is ... |
