| Was I Expecting Too Much What a frustrating experience for the OP. I get what @russ69 and others have said about how frustrating it is for dealers that have to deal with tire kickers who then buy off the internet, but it seems to me that if a retailer is to compete with ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 producing distortion and dropouts I had a similar issue with two Bluesound units each after several years of use. They are doorstops now | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! A decent surge protector is different from a power conditioner and yes we all need one. We just had a power outage that tripped the protectors in all 3 of my systems. Everything survived, thankfully | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! If the budget is limited, I wouldn’t blow any of it on a Power Conditioner. That is a frill component that if it does anything will enhance the last .05% of performance from a mega bucks system. I would look at the speakers as the biggest bang f... | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? I had a girlfriend that moved in with her cat a few decades ago. I would routinely carry the cat out of the listening room because of the fears cited by the OP re-fur getting in components. Eventually the cat learned the listening room was off l... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... @viber6 I mean no disrespect to you as a musician, but in my experience musicians don’t always make the best audiophiles. I have a friend who is very well known violist who is perfectly happy using an AM transistor radio circa 1960 as his on... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... The front row isn’t the best seat in the house. The musicians are projecting their sound out, and I prefer at least 10 rows back if I am on the main floor. Normally we sit in the first balcony, which most people consider to be the best seats in ... | |
| Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction? How are you getting the Apple Music into your 2 channel system? From what I can tell, Apple Spatial Audio is intended to be used with headphones or ear buds. There are some competing technologies that can be used with Atmos soundbars. If anyone... | |
| Qobuz Coming to Canada!!! Why did it take so long? Does the Qobuz brass have trouble understanding Québécois? | |
| Help needed to sort out an annoying crackling/static issue with streamer Every Musical Fidelity product I ever came across had some issue. I think that they have new ownership now, but it seems the black cloud remains… | |
| What to do? @cleeds I used to own the BDP3, and that was my thought exactly | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? I've had an Oppo 105 ever since it came out. It has gotten heavy use m mostly as a transport in the past several years. It occasionally hangs up and does something weird. Unplugging it and restarting it 30 seconds later has always cured every... | |
| Admitting my error… It might depend upon your tastes, right? If Led Zeppelin is your forte you might not be excited by a complete Montovani collection. The music should come first, regardless of the medium. If it's just having lps for the sake of having lps, be a... | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? I prefer ultrasonic cleaning. Once is enough, after that take reasonable care of the cleaned records and just use a brush if necessary | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? Thats pretty cool, that you at least got a response from OPPO on a long discontinued product. You can't take that for granted these days. It is also cool that the Oppo can be controlled by mConnect. I actually use mConnect to control my Melco... |
