| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good Nothing to lose trying the built in Cambridge DAC just to see/hear. Cost does not always determine what sounds best. I used to run Squeeze system then Plex with older DAC then acquired Cambridge Evo 150. The built in DAC is pretty good. That’s wh... | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good Have you tried the DAC in the Cambridge? Are you streaming your own files or using a streaming service? If your own files, still using Logitech Media Server? Has any other aspect of the streaming changed besides physical streamer device used? | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Fancy turntables look way cool and do not hurt anyone. More power to them! Choose your hobby and yabba dabba dabble away! | |

| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Speakers all pretty much do the same thing. People choose what they like and how much to pay based on whatever it is that matters to them. Ginormous speakers that cost less than other less humongous designs certainly will have a niche. That’s Tekt... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers MI found a good local deal on a used pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Domus. Lovely sounding and looking speakers. My wife made no gripes about these in the family room. They are a delight and definitely ooze class and refinement. 👍 | |

| Streamer with PLEX-like UI and companion app? Or sending PLEX stream through DAC? I have been using Plex for many years. Did a shootout and moved to Roon. I still use Plexamp. Message me if desired to discuss. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Efficiency is not important to me in that good quality full range efficient speakers are large and bulky. Large and bulky is the last thing I need. My goal has been to downsize. Otherwise, some of my favorite speakers sound wise are very large, ve... | |
| Are You a Swifty? It doesn’t matter what I think. | |
| Limiting a full range driver Unless you have larger and very good quality 20-20000 hz full range speakers, offloading the lowest octaves to a proper sub or 2 designed specifically for the task at hand is pretty much always a good move. You just have to choose the right sub(s)... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I’ll just say size does matter when it comes to speakers and leave it at that. | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY You should do whatever makes you happy. | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) It’s true the computer itself can’t “feel” but it can synthesize data. Data provided by others about music can be synthesized to allow the computer to “think” similarly. What we feel is based on what we think so…. | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) @tonywinga Neither of those is a barrier to AI. The interesting part will be how it is biased compared to others. We all are only able to process and draw conclusions based on the information available to us and same with a computer. |
