| 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 ... | |
| Energy speakers Are they new or used? Based on price it looks like they are used. Do you have a home theater system? If you don't have a pair of subwoofers, I would recommend you looks at REL. You have to dial them, so they act like woofers. However, they al... | |
| Step up From Rogue RP-5 How do you like your Focal n2 speakers. I just looked at their specification sheet and they certainly are high performance speakers. I am thinking about the Kanta 2's or 3's. | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. Who would ever listen to a salesperson at Best Buy. in the first place? Integrated amps have come a long way. I dream of owning a Luxman 509. Integrated amps help clear the clutter and they help to make room inside an entertainment center. A... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? Luxman!!! | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Ryder, what kind of speakers are those. They must cost a fortune. What are you driving them with? | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? Use a moist sponge followed by a micro cloth. You can buy the micro cloth at Costco. | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy BlueSound Node 2i. I would also subscribe to Tidal. | |
| Ridiculous sale Time to buy a different amp. | |
| Buyer Beware I would imagine Audiogon is aware of this. With news, members may not use Audiogon fearing they will be scammed. If this continues, there will be no reason for Audiogon to exist. | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers I don't know how you can beat REL subwoofers. Their high-level connection is genius. I would recommend a pair and as large as you can afford. Nothing worse than detecting the subwoofers. Nothing worse than hearing a thumping bass. They take a... |
