| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? I think you would be surprised by how nice the Bluesound Node 2i sounds. I stream Tidal and I find MQA to have a noticeable difference in sound stage and presence. The dealer talked me into adding a ProJect S2 DAC to the Bluesound connected with... | |
| Subwoofer insight. I researched both REL and Rythmic. I think either one is a good choice, but I think the high level connection designed by REL is genius. The high level connection allows the subwoofers to play more like woofers. The key is calibrate then to not... | |
| What should I choose?? Never been a fan of B&W's. Where's the bass. However, add a pair of REL subwoofers helps to fill in the bass. I know I keep saying this, but I think the SALK speakers are the best I have heard under $60,000. Jim Salk is incredibly knowledg... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? I would think too many drivers would affect bass response. The real question to me is I purchased a pair of Paradigm towers which are 2 1/2 way. Two weeks after I purchase them a friend sent me an article explaining way 3 way cross overs are bet... | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time I had a good experience when selling my ProJect S2 DAC and Carbon Audioquest COAX cable. However, these were both only 3 weeks old and I had to sell them for half price. I learned a good lesson. If you audition something to add to your system t... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? I have a realtor who has sent me hundreds of listings of homes sold in my area and I am totally amazed I have yet to see one home with pictures showing two speakers standing in one room of their house. I have also seen only a few where they have ... | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? I think it depends on where you live. It is always a good idea to spend a few days at a good audio show. However, many of them will bring some of their less expensive speakers because they assume most people will spend the money. They should ha... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i melvinjames,I stream Tidal on my Bluesound Node 2i and I have never seen my screen laid out like this. I will need to find out how to use all it offers. Still hope they come out with a new Bluesound that can hi res video/audio to look at concert... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i jeenan90,I would agree with you. The ProJect is a cheap DAC. However, when you connect a DAC to the Bluesound Node 2i, it breaks up the complete unfold of MQA. I don't know why MQA sounds better. For some reason I sense a larger sound stage an... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I ended up buying a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a ProJect S2 DAC and connecting it with an Audioquest Carbon coax cable. In doing so you lose 9/10 of the MQA unfold. So I unhooked the DAC and played MQA recordings by s... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Why wouldn't you place your components on a stereo rack. My wife would kill me if I ever thought of making a room look like that. | |
| Selling on Audiogon I had a good experience. However, why would anyone sell something using PayPal? | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Nothing like the sound of snap, crackle and pop. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips I have a Bluesound Node 2i and purchased a ProJect S2 DAC and added it to my system and found I liked the Bluesound played better by itself. I stream Tidal and when I connected the DAC to my Bluesound using Audioquest Carbon digital coax, it does... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... I don't know why so many still listen to vinyl. I am not in to hearing the noise of the needle tracking in the groove. I think CD's sound much better. They sound much crisper in my opinion. However, I now can't understand why anyone would both... |
