| Local network HiRes storage and player @sns I am currently using WD Red NAS drives and honestly didn't research much before purchasing them what the noise levels might be for those. I have been mildly interested in the Synology branded hard drives but have not had occassion yet to pur... | |
| Local network HiRes storage and player @sns I was concerned about noise with my system as well but then stumbled upon the iFi (SilentPower) LAN purifier products. I put a LAN Purifier Pro between my router and the NAS and then also employed a couple of iFi LAN Silencers in the mix as ... | |
| Local network HiRes storage and player All of my FLAC files from my personal library (7,946 full albums and over 100,000 tracks) are stored on a Synology NAS. The NAS has two drives so all files are duplicated for backup. I also backup that NAS to a cloud service and also keep anothe... | |
| Open Reel Curious I have a lot of fun with my open reel Teac. I bought the deck refurbished for $400 and it has worked error free for years. I scour local auction sites and ebay for factory pre-recorded tapes (mainly 60’s and 70’s rock) and have ended up with a fe... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? I think Vinyl Studio Pro has already been mentioned, but here is a link to their page where they also discuss this and also mention some ADCs that will do native DSD. I know the Ayre was previously mentioned but not sure the PS Audio unit was and... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub @surfcat thank you for your detailed explanation based on real life use of REL subs and it has helped me to decide whether it is even a good time to buy some new subs, or to continue to use my Paradigm’s for a bit while experimenting heavily with ... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub I have been going through the subwoofer research myself as I consider moving from a Paradigm sub that is a HT design, but not super musical. The REL are ones I am considering. On REL’s page and elsewhere though I see cautions that when going to a... | |
| Fiber Optic Cable You should investigate one of these, I installed one in my system between my router and the switch that powers my receiver and Apple TV and other streaming devices. I noticed a very distinct difference. Sound was clearer, probably due to backgroun... | |
| Upcoming Trip I have the Bathys and travel with them often. They do the job but the noise canceling is not on par with Sony or Bose. The sound quality however beats them all hand's down and the ANC was still good enough to drown out the background noise (just... | |
| Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000? I bought a Teac X300 that comes very close to the sound quality of the revered Pioneers and was able to get one fully refurbished for $650. I see some on eBay at or around that price. I’m very enamored with mine when I play factory issued tapes o... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I use Boltz steel furniture for my LP’s. The furniture is outstanding, their customer service and spotty delivery times are not. Boltz | |
| What would you save in a fire? @larsman I feel for you with the negatives. I have thousands of sports and concert negatives as well, but have scanned them all and they are stored at cloud sites, so I would have that to fall back on. | |
| Infinite Slope .5 speakers - does anyone have promo material or any specs on this speaker? @elliottbnewcombjr these appear to be some hand made speakers using Infinite Slope components. Not sure they are anything the factory put out unless they are a one-off. If this is the auction on ebay in NY (photos look the same) to me they are way... | |
| Infinite Slope .5 speakers - does anyone have promo material or any specs on this speaker? @elliottbnewcombjr thanks for the tips. I might reach out to Source and see if they know anything about this speaker. I don't know why I have not done that before. I also wondered if it was just a speaker designed to be part of a package, but t... | |
| Infinite Slope .5 speakers - does anyone have promo material or any specs on this speaker? @cdc Yea I have a lot of stuff on the prior models as well, which is why it has perplexed me as to why info on this model has been nonexistent. These .5 speakers seem to have been produced somewhat late in the company’s life (they don't appear in ... |
