Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? I am using a PC for streaming, mostly due to budget constraints. The PC is hooked to the router/modem via ethernet cable. The PC sends the stream, via USB, to the internal DAC of the AMP (Cambridge Audio CXA 81). I have also installed a jitter fil... | |
Do you adjust your subwoofer I fiddle with my 2 channel system sub's settings constantly. Different recordings have varying amounts of bass and analog sources require different output than digital sources. I wish my old Velodyne had a remote. | |
She loves me she loves me not! I tried my Revels grills on/off when I first purchased them. The grills had a noticeable detrimental effect on the sound. Luckily the baffles have the same finish as the rest of the cabinets. I also know where the grills are, on the top shelf, in ... | |
help choosing a turn table I might suggest checking out some semi-auto or auto lift turntables. I have read very good reviews of the new Technics 1500c. I would suggest, however, replacing either the included Ortofon 2M Red with a better cartridge or buy a stylus upgrade su... | |
Have you asked yourself this question? My music listening is about 95% streaming. I have an old Philips AF 877, that I refurbished, playing through an inexpensive NAD phono preamp. My LP collection is limited to however many can fit in my stereo stand. I still have a TT because I am ol... | |
Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise I meant FLAC files | |
Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise My lack of funds, at the moment, is keeping me from buying a new streamer. I decided to try using my computer for streaming, via a USB B connection to the native DAC in my amp. I am also running my internet via ethernet cables to the PC. I found t... | |
new to streaming- help! soix - I have space constraints where adding another device will be challenging in my AV rack. I'm sure a dedicated streamer would sound better than my outdated PC. I just have nowhere to put an additional piece of audio equipment. Not sure what p... | |
new to streaming- help! I know most of the people posting here indicate that streaming from a PC is bad for audio quality. Mostly due to space constraints, I am using a PC as a streaming source. It was clearly a sub-par source until I bought a Jitter filter. Made a huge ... | |
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? I have a Velodyne SPL 1000 that I purchased new in 2000 for $800, on sale from 1K. It has been in constant, moderate use all of those years in both 2 channel and HT applications. I know this sub was a step down from the DD series of the day, but i... | |
It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun Ah, thanks anyways. | |
It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun czarivey - To each their own. How much do you want for one of your TV's? | |
It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun I find that my iPhone 12 is a sufficient time keeper. I have no idea what that Rolex is worth, but I would sell it in a hot minute. If it isn't worth what a Volvo V90 wagon costs, I guess a new 75" OLED and a short trip to CA would be great. | |
Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My "English" amp was made in China. My "American" speakers were made in China. My "American" digital cable was made in China as were my "American" speaker cables. I don't consider myself a "Have not". Maybe a "Don't have as much" or a "Have some".... | |
