| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i, the dealer convinced me to add a ProJect S2 DAC. I connected the BlueSound and thought the sound was great. For some reason I think I can hear a difference when listening to MQA. I then plugged in the ProJ... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I almost purchase a pair of Martin Login Motion 60's. Fortunately, I went back to the retailer and listened to them for two hours. Glad I did because I found their ribbon tweeters to be to bright. Ear fatigue is a reality and it is really impor... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I am sure the cheap ProJect S2 DAC I added to my Bluesound Node 2i might have been the problem. I have heard the Cuttest is much better. What would I hear with a more expensive DAC that would sound better than the Bluesound played by itself? I ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I would imagine there must be a phase adjustment on my REL's. However, I would not know where to start. It would be nice if someone could teach us more about phase and how to set up subwoofers. Now I wonder if I have mine set up correctly. All... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I am simply blown away by Millercarbon's knowledge. He should be teaching at a university. Fascinating conversation. Can't believe people have more than two subwoofers. I did a lot of research before I purchased my subwoofers. I was torn betw... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I meant to add customer support from ARCAM is absolutely horrible. The customer service person after a couple of questions told me to not contact him again. He was the rudest person I have ever talked to. Wonder if anyone else experienced the s... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I purchase an ARCAM AVR550 only because I wanted to use it for both Home Theater and 2 channel listening. Their AVR850 model sounds extremely good because they have a new G technology that is able to play the first 50 watts in Pure A. Wonder wha... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I forgot to mention. I did a blind test at the dealer with and without the DAC and I picked the Bluesound every time without the DAC. I should have gone with what I heard and not purchased the DAC. Maybe it was the cheap DAC I purchased. Anoth... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I purchase a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a Project S2 DAC. When I got it home, I thought it sounded much better when playing the Bluesound alone. I don't care what people say, but I think MQA sounds great and if you ad... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Pretty rude answers. This guy was just asking an innocent question and the first guy to respond immediately tried to make him feel stupid. I thought this was a great question. Not everyone is a knowledgeable as the first person to respond. Per... | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? I tend to agree with the potential of hearing loss. When is the last time you had your hearing checked. Could be as simple as that. If that isn't the case them change out our tubes. Having a digital system, I have not had to face the tube issu... | |
| Suggestions for New CD Player Not sure why anyone these days would purchase a CD player? You have to get off your seat to change the CD. Streaming hi res on Tidal is a much better alternative and I think the sound quality is much better. You also have access to a huge libra... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I wonder if adding a pair of REL S2 subwoofers wouldn’t increase the size of your sound stage. Btheir high level connection allows them to blend seemingly and act more love me woofers. Seems like you have a nice system. | |
| Which Speaker I certainly would not get a Marantz. I have one for my surround system in my family room driven by Definitive Technology speakers which are satisfactory for watching TV and some movies. I am building a higher end system for the living room event... | |
| Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured? Did you ship the speakers in their original boxes? If not, were they shipped in a double box container with Styrofoam to withstand shipping. I would certainly start there first. If they weren't shipped in the proper packaging, I would cover the... |
