| Mary Martin Died No one is denigrating this particular individual. We are having fun with the fact that she shared a name with a well loved artist and using that to make a point about where we, as music fans , prioritize Artists vs. Record Company executives. ... | |
| Solo streamer I have 2 Cambridge units. OneI use as a transport into my external DAC, a Bryston DAC3. The other sits in a midfi system and I use the internal DAC. Obviously I ‘m a CA fan, and @oddiofyi suggestion is the way I would go,. OP has stated in the p... | |
| Mary Martin Died Well music executives may be important in promoting (and more notoriously exploiting) recording artists but as music fans we don't remember them, whereas the performer Mary Martin will live on via her recordings forever. | |
| Streaming question According to Google VNC is a free service but presumably you have discovered otherwise. Can the server be controlled wirelessly from a mobile device? | |
| Bluesound Node Question In fairness to Audiotroy, NAD is the parent company to Bluesound, and many NAD receivers incorporate Bluesound streaming modules within . The comment that he offered is therefore quite relevant to the OP | |
| Don't do anything! OP It’s probably your brain acclimating to the new sounds. Does it matter as long as you are content, although I suspect that the upgrade itch will soon bite again | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. My interpretation of the OP is that he seems to think that we all listen to Classical Music as our preferred genre and that we follow Harry Pearson dictum that our systems should approximate the sound of live acoustic instruments in a concert hall... | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? My streaming service is Apple Music. I stream primarily to audition unfamiliar recordings and then if I really like something I buy it. I used to do Qobuz but my wife really wanted Apple and I didn’t want to pay for another service. I dislike... | |
| A budget turntable exploration OP I love your writing style. What exactly do you teach? | |
| Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century? Greatest ever, or of a given time period, is ridiculous because this isn’t an athletic competition. I am not disputing any points you make about Richter, but I don’t know how to compare him vs Arrau, Pollini,Kempff, Casadesus, Michelangeli, Horow... | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? Just another vote for Physical Media. I’ve made play lists from files burned to my NAS that have never gone nowhere. When I tried this with Qobuz I lost a few during my first few weeks | |
| Eversolo a6 and Lampizator I haven’t read every post here but the first response puzzled me. Streame/DAC comp are used all the time with external DACs, similar to how CD players are used as transports with external DACs. I have read 3 reviews of Eversolo recently and wh... | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. I have had the Oppo 105 and 203 for years. If they rip that is news to me | |
| Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century? He was a great Pianist. Was he the greatest ever? It’s a ridiculous notion | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment I bought the same turntable, with an Ortofon 2M Blue mm cartridge and a Cambridge Audio preamp. I put it in a secondary system, my basement HT system, playing in 2 channel. The intent was to move it to the big system upstairs after I reconfigure... |
