Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh
@ejspain2020 The OP didn't complain about not getting deep bass his issue is "System sounds thin and bright or harsh". The 50Hz spec is correct but that doesn't account for the room. As an example the 'heartbeat' in Breathe sounds remarkably good... 
Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh
I'm going to say the Harbeths are just not cutting it. Small two way speakers seldom do (unless you like a lean sound). You need a bigger 3 way to get the warm midrange you are looking for.  Nonsense. I have the 30.2xd's and the warm midrange w... 
Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC?
@kota1 and quality not $$$ I'm returning a $300 Analysis Plus Digital Crystal Cable (COAX) because the no-name USB cable supplied with the DAC sounded better. (I know comparing COAX to USB is not apples to apples). We'll see how the Zavfino USB ... 
Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC?
@donquichotte Interesting - hopefully the longer cable works for me too - I just ordered a 1.8m USB cable from Zavfino - it's a standard length (returnable) and I assume (hope) there is a good reason why 1.8m is their standard length (other than i... 
BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work
Got it working, just kept restarting, changing input selections, random stuff.

@mcleans what is the purpose of this embedded URL?  
BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work
@skoczylas thanks for the FB tip! @mlsstl I do have the latest firmware and confirmed with BS support that USB should work with an external DAC. Thanks for looking it up. I think it just buggy software... I'll reach out again to BS support  
Potential Pair of Great Bookshelf Speakers for Sale!
I have the 30.2 XDs and use them as mains for my Yamaha RX3080 AVR for HT and just swap the speaker cables for 2 channel from my Raven Osprey. Best of both worlds. Take a look at the Raven Nighthawk. It will power the P3ESR’s nicely and they offe... 
New Pink Floyd release
...and I don't mind the "cash grab" in the least. They deserve it.  
New Pink Floyd release
Thanks for posting this. The concept and simplicity still amazes to me even after 50 years. In the movie The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon (which is great, especially watching Alan Parsons mixing it in real-time), the artist who designed th... 
New Pink Floyd release
Thanks for sharing these...hilarious! #1 The headline doesn't make sense, pretty sure it's the woke mob not anti-woke. And the band is un-cancellable.  #2 Let's remember the so called "mob" are Twits that make up a miniscule % of the Twitter uni... 
New Pink Floyd release
Can you share an example of a woke reaction to arguably the most recognizable / iconic album cover in the history of rock?    
Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing
Curious what model Harbeth's you have?   
How much should I spend on a new DAC
I just bought a Black Ice tube DAC on sale (direct from Black Ice) for $899. They offer a 45 day no risk trial. My initial impression of the DAC and the company is very good. As others have said, you need a streamer and the Node has been suggested... 
You know when you are dealing with a BS company....
This is the first company I've seen rate recommended speaker cables by amplifier wattage. This seems more dubious than the 15-20% improvement "examples".
