| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? It is wild that one can do this correctly and cost effectively so many ways using the right software on the right general purpose computing devices or buy expensive dedicated devices designed just for streaming that can cost so much more. I’ve fou... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Hmm well FWIW I was considering trying a SET or similar tube integrated and high efficiency speakers in my second system but decided to give the latest and greatest Digital Integrated amp technology a shot first. I picked a Bel Canto C5i a couple ... | |

| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? Audio engine maybe others sell wireless dac. Easy solution is put plex app on a tablet or similar device with WiFi near hifi and connect that to hifi. Then use a separate phone with plex app also as a WiFi remote controller.

| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? If your Triangles sound like mine (Titus) only bigger and better I’d think it over carefully before parting ways. I added a sub to mine rather than part with them because they do what they do very well and would be hard to replace. If you are head... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I’ve liked them very much in the two dealer auditions I’ve had. No obvious faults so far. You can really hear the differences in recordings which impresses me. This with just a very modest AV amp only even.They have a lot of competition at their p... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? No they all sound different from the exceptional to the more mundane to the highly flawed but almost all are listenable which means the sound reproduction is working well for a music lover like me. I even have a few old 78s from the 30s and 40s th... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? My whole collection is my reference recording. It all has to sound its best. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Stvgray you know OHM is still there making "Walsh style" speakers inspired by those Fs. Smaller pair start at just over $1000 new. I have two pair currently. My larger pair use 12" Walsh style drivers mounted in refurbed OHM F cabinets. ... | |
| What is the weird "fisheye" pic on so many items? Perhaps the dumbest thing ever seen on a site where people pay to sell stuff. I would be fired if I ever came up with something that intentionally degraded the look of my web site like that. | |
