| dumb question, streaming music to a preamp? There is an NAD wireless DAC 1 on Ebay. Current bid is $20. The receiver can be set close to the integrated amp on short RCAs and the transmitter is connected to the computer via short USB cable. An inexpensive approach. | |
| I need help with this please. Sorry, I now see that you provided your room size. As a follow-up, I was thinking that you could purchase a used inexpensive USB DAC to hold you over while exploring the market. It could then be sold once you upgrade w/o much loss. | |
| I need help with this please. I agree with the aforementioned responses as I also have a computer based system. I have taken the advise from both these posters and thank them again.So it seems that you are looking for advise developing a new computer based system. My position ... | |
| Best Dac under $600... New or used Not that the benchmark is less than a good product for the money, I have seen many (as Truman above) on this forum characterized it as bright or analytical. It remains a popular DAC however. As one that has a system based on a digital front end fe... | |
| anyone ditch their metal speaker stands? I owned a pair of the 300ti speakers. Wish I hadnt sold them. I believe the sonic difference you experienced could likely be due to the height difference than to stand construction. I assume based on your description that the speakers were placed... | |

| Help me improve Rega P2 I would call NeedleDoctor and ask what they recommend as matching the OBH. They sell several cartridges and phonostages. | |
| JOLIDA Issue Time to call Jolida, MD. Please let us know how they take care of you. | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 Thanks Al for the response. I did not go back to the manual and went on recollection, which at my age is suspect. I am sure the below 200pF is correct, not 100pF. Anyway, is seems logical that this low value rec would include that added by tonea... | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 Jmg1949, for $300 I must agree that a better cartridge would be the best upgrade. I am sure you will find Als' post helpful. I would not spend much to improve the turntable proper until I felt the need to refurbish. I was born in 1949. Cant help ... | |
| Speaker Stands Question Sorry Sfar, I did not see your entire post of 12/31. Yes, I always thought the cutting to be the most critical aspect of using PVC. Thanks for the follow-up. | |
| Speaker Stands Question Czarivey, I was thinking of trying your suggestion. My thought was to use 6 PVC pipe and tied to wood base and top plate. Fill bottom 1/3 with concrete to lower center of gravity, the rest with sand. Toilet flanges might be used to transition fro... | |
