| cheapest cable upgrade ever Could you provide a photo? I have no idea of what you are talking about. | |
| Quick USB question I have a Node 2i and I wonder if you can really hear a distinct difference in higher cost streamers. When I first purchased my BlueSound, they sold me a ProJect DAC. I found the DAC made it sound thinner. So I disconnected the ProJect and the so... | |
| Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020 Wait until you can afford a decent amplifier. Never heard an amp could cost only $300. | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? I upgrade my speaker wires, power cords for both my ARCAM and my Bluesound and also upgraded my digital cables. I was fortunate to use The Cable Company. I worked with Jason Ressler and he is by far the most knowledge people I have worked for. ... | |
| WTH TAS?! I would think your ears are most important to rely on. | |
| FInally I have a noise issue Maybe it is the source? | |
| Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard? It sounds like you have a way to identify dealers. If so can you tell me how to identify them. I have always felt dealers should be identified because this certainly could explain their bias. The should identify themselves with the name of deal... | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better I wonder what sounds better. Vinyl or Cd's? I have always thought the reason CD's came out was to eliminate the noise from vinyl. Also, what sounds better, a CD or Streaming? You can stream 24/192 and a CD is 16 bit. You would think hi-res w... | |
| The vanishing stereo rack I have all my components hidden away in an entrainment cabinet. We have a beautiful living room and we don’t want to goober it up. The systems I have seen are ugly. My wife would kick me out our house. Since adding a BlueSound Node 2i I no lon... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel I can’t believe such an old discussion started up again. At the time I first listened to a REL t9 matched with a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozart speakers. The Mozart’s already played down low and the small REL t9 was not able to be detected. Ri... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? I can't understand why you are using a computer. I stream by using a BlueSound Node 2i and stream Tidal. I just sit on my sofa using my iPhone and select music to listen to. I do want to hear the more expensive streamers to find out if they rea... | |
| Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system? Most amplifiers and receivers come with a $7 to $10 power cord. Expensive power cords are often 1 inch to 3 inches in diameter. I noticed I could turn the volume down to reach the same db. Perhaps I am crazy and wanted to hear a difference. | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? I wonder why you are using an old computer. My BlueSound Node 2i streams Tidal without using a computer. When I purchased the BlueSound Node 2i the retailer convinced me to al purchase a Project DAC. Adding the Project DAC caused the bass too s... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Can you really hear the difference if doing a blind test? I would think having people sit down and listen by not telling them they are listening to with and without would be the true test. Kind of like The Emperors New Cloths Syndrome. It would... | |
| Avalon Acoustics reputation Looks to me you should move on. It is important the manufacture feels responsible to back their products after the sale. I have an ARCAM AVR 550 and sent it in. They replace everything with the 950 except the power supply. It was like getting ... |
