| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute What do people feel about multiple suns ina system? It seems like years ago the dogma was that one sub, properly positioned and dialed in, one was all one needed. I believe the argument was that bass was defied being localized in a soundstage, r... | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever @jw944ts I may know someone that has used the service. I was killing time yesterday in a lp store in Oak Park, Il, and ran into a former colleague doing the same that I hadn’t seen in years. Turns out he is a vinylphiliac and we got around ... | |
| Goodbye Everyone It’s nice to get some feedback, especially after one has put some time into a thoughtful post, but no one is required to respond, of course. What amuses me about many OPs are the ones that ask for help, get responses, and without addressing any o... | |
| Help with streamer software OP you could worse than just getting the CXN as an Internet Radio Tuner. It also works really well with AirPlay and Chromecast, although it not possible, I think to Chromecast from an iPad, and you probably won’t be happy with AirPlay. Howev... | |
| Upgrading cd player Can’t believe they won’t let the OP do an audition. My former dealer would charge the card a week beforehe released the unit for an audition, just in case someone was going to cancel their card after talking the unit for a weekend . He then char... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing I output DSD from my Oppo 105 into my Bryston DAC 3 over HDMI. The Bryston cost me $3K at the time and has gone up.. There were other DACs that had HDMI inputs at the time. I remember an NAD DAC that was cheaper than the Bryston getting a thumb... | |
| Upgrading cd player It’s been a long time since an Audio Research component was in my system. I had a preamp from the early 2000s that I was the third owner. I enjoyed it but sold it when I was going through a divorce and saw it listed for a thousand more than I ha... | |
| Upgrading cd player I wouldn’t be that sanguine about ARC finances going forward, but hey it your money. You already had voiced a concern in your OP about parts availability for ARC, which led me to believe that long term servicing issues were a concern to you. | |
| Upgrading cd player Audio Research has had a lot of financial problems the past year. Things might be better now, and I wish them the best, but if the choice was between them and McIntosh, a company that has been around for about 90 years and has as much broad suppo... | |
| Help with streamer software If Internet Radio is a priority for the OP, then a lecture on sound quality probably isn’t relevant here. Obviously the OP has a good system and knows good sound, but the best we can do with IR is 320 bps, below CD resolution and stations that bro... | |
| BlueSound not ripping small label/Euro CDs-any ideas I am curious. You state that you can occasionally rip one or two songs from these discs. Does the Blue OS correctly identify the songs and artists? | |
| Help with streamer software My Cambridge Audio CXN 60 provides great support for Internet Radio. I have 15 favorite stations in my presets. | |
| BlueSound not ripping small label/Euro CDs-any ideas To chime in on what @fuzztone posted, since Bluesound the player can recognize many data bases,and not just the one contained in the Vault, I would get a separate HD for the discs that Bluesound won’t rip—apparently you have many of them, and Har... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @calvinj don’t you recycle this same topic about every fortnight? I have nothing against high end gear. Occasionally I have resentment against some of those who can afford because their gains may be I’ll gotten and then the gear is a lightn... | |
| Entry CD player question? What don’t you like about your current system? What are you hoping to achieve with a change? |
