| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I rarely go to large venue (20,000 seat and larger) shows. The disconnect between seeing the band playing is just too much. Don’t get me wrong, I went to plenty of them in the decades past, from Pink Floyd, many Grateful Dead shows, Phish, Widespr... | |
| Streamer apps critical @ghdprentice point well taken. I do wonder just for the heck of it, what computer language is used these days for most of these streaming apps. Is it something like Python or do they still use C++ or something entirely different? My days of progr... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Just so you know, SVS makes an $80 adapter that does allow you to use speaker level inputs if you have to or want to use that option. SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter | |
| Streamer apps critical What is freaky is that a relatively young startup, WiiM, came out of nowhere with a cheap streamer ($99) and over a few months, listening to user feedback, developed their software to the point that it is even better than BlueOS or at least very c... | |
| SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF I’m not 100% sure but it sounds like you might have been double ganging the filtering. You say your subwoofer output from your preamp or amp is 80 dbs, I think you might have meant 80Hz. If so, in most cases you would NOT need the low pass filter ... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps In the exact price range as the Willsenton R8 is the Muzishare X7 KT88. Some electronic techs who know tube gear examined both and some said the Muzishare might be a touch better and safer. Tubes can obviously be expensive, but they don't have to ... | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas! And happy listening! Those of us still working hope to have some extra downtime for that. | |
| Streamer & DAC under $1000? The new Node Icon fits the bill nicely according to reviews. $999.00. Super easy to use Blue O/S software, and the option of course to eventually use an even better DAC if that is in your plans. Can be used as a preamp, having volume control and a... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Medeski, Martin, and Wood - Shack Man. | |
| Bluesound Node Icon @efoo the new Node 132 and Node Icon are said to have much better built-in power supplies than the older outgoing Node 130. So much so, that many say there is no reason to go out and buy a LPS for them. Take it with a grain of salt but some revi... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @livinon2wheels yes, check out REL. Their ads are a little pretentious, "At REL we only make subwoofers so we are the best at them"...whatever. But they are noted to maybe be a step up in both price and audio quality (more texture) compared to say... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers I see them advertised in Stereophile but never heard any since you can only buy direct. A coworker got a pair of the Mini Lore Monitor speakers to give to his son for Christmas in that bright blue finish for him to use in his garage. My friend is... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC The architecture of a DAC can matter too. Many on here have bought 8+ year old PS Audio Perfect Wave DACs from The Music Room, or direct from PS Audio, and say they sound great for the money - even compared to new DACs costing about the same. They... | |
| Streamers and software Hopefully whenever they roll out a "QOBUZ CONNECT" for streamers, most of your problems will go away. That's one reason I started with Spotify then switched to Tidal when it became apparent that Spotify had lied and were NOT going to offer lossles... | |
| Streamers and software Just playing devil’s advocate here. Your post made it sound like you were happy with the Node’s sound just fine, especially after installing a LPS, and it was working perfectly with all your Favorites on Amazon, but for some reason you switched to... |
