| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. +1 @hilde45 Who reads an audio magazine to learn about whether a performer sounds like they are emotionally involved, or whether the music makes one want to dance, or whatever. I read music magazines for that. I read audio magazines to get ... | |
| What is your front end ? I never considered how difficult it would be to play lps with one arm. Pulling CDs off the shelf and out of the jewel box also doesn’t sound like fun | |

| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I had a pair of Nodes that both died between 2-3 years | |
| Melco E100/N 100 Combination Room supposedly does the best job of organizing classical music libraries, thus my interest. Again, if the files are stored on a NAS that is hardwired, why does the Roon, which I would be using for its software interface only, need to be hardwired? | |
| Melco E100/N 100 Combination @erik_squires I don’t use Tidal. I’m more concerned with organizing my own CDs that have been burned to the Melco NAS. So why do I need a hardwired connection to the PC if the files are actually residing on the NAS? | |
| Melco E100/N 100 Combination That means that I still need a PC in the system if I were to add Roon, correct? And does the PC need to be hard wired? I asked these same questions on a Melco Forum recently and the answer was affirmative to both. Having the PC tethered to the ... | |

| Hearing aid question The Costco Hearing Aids are refundable for months and cost around $1300. They aren’t perfect for music even with the HiFi setting . Upper frequencies get screechy. I can’t practice the piano wearing them and I choose not to use them while liste... | |
| why expensive streamers Has the OP actually compared different streamers? | |
| Quandary You are happy with what you have. His buisness is to get you to buy new equipment. You weren’t looking to buy a new amp. If you spend $300 for an audition, your emotions will effect your perceptions-you will want to hear an improvement to justi... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. +1 @simao I am primarily a digital listener but wanted a vinyl setup for some albums that are not currently available digitally. I use a Technics 1200 with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and a CA mm phono stage. The sound is very good my ma... | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports I can’t comment on the three transports that you want to compare. I use a Sony 5400 ES and Oppo 105 as transports into my Bryston DAC 3. My NAS however is a Melco N100, and I bought the Melco Optical Player to use as a ripper. The player will a... | |
| why expensive streamers This whole thread reminds me of the debate about amplification. There are audiophiles that claim that if 2 amps measure the same then there is no sonic difference between them. I’ve tried several streamers in the $500-$4500 range and there are... | |
