| Wiim pro questions. I have a Wiim Pro and it was one of the easiest to setup streaming devices I've seen. I bought it for my wife as she finds my LMS streaming setup a bit too complicated. We primarily use the Wiim Pro for Qobuz. A couple of notes -- setup involves... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? Decades ago, I was lucky to have the opportunity to get a few first generation open reel copies of some recording studio tapes. They blow away the LP versions , especially so in the bass quality. That said, copying LPs to open reel doesn't improv... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? I recently heard a rumor that the secret used audio equipment cabal is expanding their reach into philately... | |
| USB Noise***Unlikeliest Fix*** Actually, there is no way to stream digital music -- either local or from an internet service like Tidal or Qobuz - without a "computer." The trick is to have the PC be a standalone unit that is dedicated to that one task. That's what the fancy Lu... | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. You might want to consider a Schiit Yggdrasil multibit DAC which, new, is right in your price range. | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s @sml19 -- its a medium sized living room, about 15' wide by about 24' long with vaulted ceilings and partially open on one side to a dining area. I brought the 1000s over from a smaller room in a prior house. Ohm recommended the 3000s for me at th... | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated If you want a good amp at a great price, check out the VT-70 (35 w/ch from EL-34 outputs) for $1,300 and their VT-150 (60 w/ch from KT-88s) for $3,000. I had a VT-70 and it was an excellent amp. They are only available online from Underwood HiFi. ... | |
| Better desktop DAC Since you like it so much, why don't you just watch the used market until another Teac NT-505 shows up? | |
| Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s I used to have a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs and had to sell them after a move to a new house with no suitable room. After a couple of experiments, I've settled on a pair of Ohm 1000s. They give great sound without having to be far out into the room, s... | |
| Pending shipping questions. Pilot Freight is now owned by Maersk. Have you tried contacting them? See https://delivers.maersk.com/contact/. Also, what does the seller have to say about this? | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? As has already been commented on, your complaint seems to be about the software control interface, not sound quality. I'd second the suggestion that you try the WiiM Pro first since it has a great software control interface that you can run on you... | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome Schiit now has a higher end phono preamp, the Skoll, for $400. I don't have a phono setup anymore, but I am very, very pleased with the sound quality of the several Schiit items I've bought. Great sound at a very good price. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @emergingsoul -- so, what does the above response have to do with your original question regarding the availability of used equipment and the responses to that question from others? You make it difficult to take your posts seriously. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? There is a ton of used quality equipment available. Where it becomes difficult is when the shopper is unwilling to be flexible and only wants a very specific make and model. Things get worse if they limit their interest to a specific version or, f... | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? My guess is that they'll continue honoring the lifetime membership as respects what it currently does, BUT come up with new features that you'll have to pay for separately if you want access to them. Just a thought.... |
