| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I was gifted a Luxman T-450, a few years ago. It's not as good as the Sansui TU-717, I had back in the day, but it's a very nice, all original, fully analog tuner. In the Detroit area, there are still some very high quality broadcast FM stations. ... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? I always wanted a RTR deck. Preferably with 10 inch reels and huge level meters. The only real use I can see for a RTR deck is to record digital music sources into analog. Kind of like an analog buffer. Of course anything other than 1/2 track reco... | |
| Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips? Tip 1: System synergy. I found this to be more important than expensive cables, room treatment and dollars invested. The key being amp and speakers. Tip 2: Try not to demonize those with whom you disagree. Anger and resentment shorten your life.... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? BTW, thank you yage for the links. Very helpful. | |
| 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... | |
