| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Out of curiosity, I visited one of the high end retail shops in Denver to listen to Magico speakers. I am not sure why people in this group brag about them. They sounded pretty sterile. They had a pair of Rockports sitting in the same room and ... | |

| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers I wonder if I added a Luxman 905 Amp to my ARCAM AVR550 and used my ARCAM as a surround processor for TV and movies if I would hear a noticeable difference? I have always heard you get more for your money by upgrading speakers first then amp. | |
| Advice regarding streaming please. I inserted a CD in my OPPO 105 the first time in the past 2 years and I was surprised how good my system sounded. Maybe playing a CD sounds better than my BlueSound Node 2i? | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? Is your system located in an unfinished basement or garage? I would imagine concrete floor would reflect sound and create echos. | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? So far, I think this hobby is for the obsessive compulsive. Right now I like the sound of my Harman Kardon in my car the best. The sound surrounds me. I may not get a sound stage but it sounds better than my home system. I am beginning to thin... | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever I think we all ask these questions. Do you set up a BlueSound using RCA's to get complete unfold of MQA or do you connect it using digital cable to use a higher quality DAC in your amplifier? Can you really hear a difference in MQA? Who do you ... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES When I used jumpers I used the same as my speaker wires. However, I upgraded my speaker wires to bi-wire. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. I must be deaf because I stream Tidal on my BlueSound Node 2i and I am able to listen to hi-res music (higher than CD quality). Since I purchased my BlueSound, I have not played a CD in my OPPO 105. Since when does a 16 bit CD have better qualit... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? To me, I think it is very important to look for very efficient speakers. This not only allows to drive them with less power and as a result might help to reduce the overall cost of the system. If you drive these with amplifiers that have plenty ... | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. I am currently using a BlueSound Node 2i. I am working with a knowledgeable sales person at The Cable Company and he convinced me to purchase a power cable and digital cable and us the DAC inside my ARCAM AVR550 because he said the DAC inside my ... | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. I currently use a BlueSound Node 2i. I am in the process of changing from using RCA cables to connect my BlueSound to my ARCAM AVR550. The Cable Company suggested connecting my BlueSound to my ARCAM AVR550 because the DAC inside my ARCAM AVR550 ... | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? I think if someone is a soothsayer or attacks someone with a cute sarcastic statement they need to support themselves with facts. I think people need to express themselves and at times disagree with them. They can be polite and also realize ther... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? A tech rep from the Harmon Luxury Group came out to our house to diagnose my system. While he was there he played my system at 35% volume and compared a song played on Tidal and Qobuz. I couldn't believe the added detail when hearing the same so... |
