| “Faithful to the recording” I hate it when reviewers state that a component lifted a veil from their system. Fremer uses this term so often he should change his name to Salome | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? I have 3 systems. My two channel is in my listening room and has the expensive stuff. I have Home Theater systems in my living room and basement with decent mid Fi equipment. I too would have been thrilled with either of those systems in my you... | |
| Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help I am a little late to this thread, but some questions/observations for the OP 1) I think you are having anxiety about all the terminology. I agree that it can be confusing. It is also a moving target. My advice is take a deep breath and relax. ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node (2021) I am using an older Node2 in a second system, no external DACI heard the 2021 Node at a dealer and was mighty impressed . I believe it would be an upgrade if you weren’t using the Chord, but since I have never heard the Chord I can’t say anything... | |
| I am so happy..... I have that same phone as well as the Audioengine. Are you just using Bluetooth? With a mini cable you ought to be able to connect directly to the pre amp. I don’t want to bust your Feng Shui but I usually use the Audioengine for podcasts. Jus... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. I was 20 years old in 1978 workin a summer job as a camp counselor. Two of my 8 year old campers got into a fight. After intervening I asked what it was about and one exclaimed that the other was insisting that Paul McCartney was in in a band be... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Merry go round indeed. You have spent a lot of effort and money there. It will be interesting to see how long you stick with the Weiss. I need a DAC with HDMI inputs. I have a large SACD collection and I love to output the DSD layer of SACD ... | |
| Axpona +1jcoehler I live a few miles from where Axpona takes place and I’m on the fence. I haven’t started attending Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts again, and perhaps I should do that before attending an Audio Show. I am mildly immunocomprom... | |
| CD player Here we have yet another thread where someone asks about a CD player, mentions that he likes to both spin CDs and stream, and every one tells him that he should just stream. The OP mentions that he has thousands of CDs and listens to Classical ... | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. I think the OP is trying to say for the kind of dosh that Esoteric charges, you ought to get a decent headphone amp. The OP seems oblivious to the numerous posters who point out that some companies don’t really care about the headphone amp. Does ... | |
| An argument for older processors Hope you enjoy it. If your TV is an old Plasma, and you don't have an Atmosphere set up that you need to feed, you should be good to go | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes Doesn't most Russian Military Equipment run on tubes instead of transistors? Perhaps the Russian Military thinks they may need a supply for some exercise that the mods on this forum don't want us to mention | |
| Cambridge CXN I have the CXN 60 and also do not have that issue. It may be something in the interface between the CA and the preface. Did you send a message to CS customer support? I found them very helpful | |
| Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC Maybe it would help if the OP, after apparently being quite satisfied with his current set up, is looking to change | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. I have no particular agenda about Esoteric, but your statement at the beginning, about judging an integrated amp by the way it drives headphones, is frankly a head scratcher. As mentioned above many manufacturers supply a headphone jack without... |
