| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I hope that it works for you. I wasn’t a fan of Wiim based on my 1 audition, but it is dirt cheap and AirPlay isn’t a high resolution format, so it might be an inexpensive compromise. | |
| Streamers under $1500 @rcm1203 +1 I liked my CXN so much that I bought another for my second system. They have just changed the DAC and I have not heard it but I generally get on with ESS Sabre based DACs. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. In Classical Music, the BIS label has recorded the Charioscuro String Quartet in Haydn and Beethoven that at least in DSD are the closest thing to having the ensemble appear to be in my listening room. | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end My point was that a product with the word Buckeye in it may not be appreciated by a poster whose screen name is Hail To The Victors. In other words, I was making a joke | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end @h4k4lugi Your Buckeye amps may not sit well with the OP @hailtothevictorz | |
| How you know your system is improving? Sometimes a change will bring out certain details in a recording and my immediate reaction may be that I have moved one step closer to the Holy Grail. However, to paraphrase Joni Mitchell, something lost may be something gained. It’s a change in... | |
| Holst The Planets I was at that CSO concert (Saturday night), Daniel Harding conducting (I think). It was the first time in many years hearing it live. Always a rejuvenating experience | |
| Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy" Sounds like a speed control issue. Agree with checking the belt. If it’s that old it may have a defect and as previously mentioned that is a cheap fix. If that doesn’t do it then it may be something with the motor. If the motor is the issue th... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update Just a simple question here. How many people here think that the MoFi LPs they purchased that have a digital stage sound better than the same files when played in the purely digital domain? And why do they think that they sound better through a ... | |
| Furutech NCF Power Vault The few times that heard power conditioning demonstrated I really couldn’t detect any improvement—and perhaps the opposite. YMMV | |
| Best way to sell a record collection The trade off is money vs convenience. You will make more doing it piecemeal, particularly if discogs has told you some of them are worth something. If you send them have value. However it’s time consuming, and be prepared to deal with disgrunt... | |
| Ideal Qualities of a CD/SACD Transport I can’t play in a $26K sandbox for a transport so I probably won’t be able to give you a great answer. I use an Oppo 105 for SACD . The Oppo can be set to output the DSD layer of SACD over HDMI. My Bryston DAC has 4 HDMI inputs. My SACDs sound... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming I just checked and the Bluesound PowerNode goes for $950. Assuming they are using the same DAC as the latest iteration of the Node, I can at least vouch for the DAc, but I can’t comment on the amp. You ought to be able to audition one in your sy... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Does Bluesound make an all in one? And do you need storage for recorded CDs, or will it be playing music from a service such as Spotify? | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby +1 @hilde45 We figured in a previous thread that there less than a million audiophiles in the US and of that group only a small number care enough to post about it on internet sites. Attempting to deny a love of sound on this site is akin to ... |
