| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( What’s wrong with having an SACD player? I have 3 and listen to them all.There is no inherent audio advantage in listening by streaming vs silver disc. In fact, the only advantage would be in eliminating my Redbook CDs, so that if I downsize I w... | |
| Recommendations on a digital system Bucs fan (Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay?) Your amplification will work with anything, don’t worry about that.since you are new to the whole shebang I would get the Bluesound Vault2 which runs around $1200. It sounds pretty good and you may never want... | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Further Questions 1) Are you using the Node2i with WiFi or Ethernet?2) How is the Node2i connected to your pre amp? (Perhaps you should tell us your whole system at this point).3) Have you tried using the Internet Radio function of the Node2i? Th... | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( I am pretty Computer Phobic, and have made some expensive mistakes trying to learn, but at least I have Bluesound running in my house, and added a Bryston BDP3 streamer in my main system, and have a NAS set up. All of which is a prelude for sayin... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Glad Ragland that you enjoyed the Concert, RVW. I share your lack of enthusiasm for the Liszt Concerto but fail to have more than a middling interest in the Rachmaninoff Second Symphony. Nice clarinet solo in the slow movement, rocket theme in t... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I went from the Node2 to a Bryston BDP3, which costs about 7 times the Node2 and unlike the Node2 does not come with a DAC. The Bryston blows the Node2 away when both are fed to the same DAC, but at that price difference, it damn well better soun... | |
| Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music I am being redundant, as the OP has stated that he has a lot of vinyl and no SACD or BluRay. However, he is looking for a disc spinner, and given the sheer amount of Classical available in SACD and BluRay I would strongly (re)advise getting a Uni... | |
| Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music I listen exclusively to Classical. The OP should allow for SACD capability, as Classical has kept the SACD medium alive and there are thousands of Classical titles in that medium I would therefore get a Universal Disc Player, such as the latest b... | |

| Help with new home If the house you are considering is empty, and you have a cooperative realtor, I guess that can drag some gear there and do your own testing. If it is that important to you, you may want to confine your search to empty houses and work with one ac... | |
| Why stream? Rereading OP two posts, I see that he keeps referring to “usb sound”. Keep in mind that there are different ways to transmit digital data. usb was originally created for multiple uses, with transmission of audio being not the first priority. ... | |
| Why stream? Not trying to be pedantic, but the word streaming can mean a few different things. One can stream their own physical content that has been transferred to a hard drive (CDs, downloads, digitalized lps or cassettes, etc). One can also pay a stream... | |
| Why stream? I am not sure what your issue is. You enjoy a streaming service such as Spotify, for sound quality as well as for catalog and ease of use. What is the issue? |
