| U2 live. Music realism I'm as big a fan as many....and have to say U2 recordings are inferior once you start down the rabbit hole we all find ourselves in. Which is surprising considering Brian Eno had a hand in some of their best efforts. As to this recording I'll ... | |
| Hint: Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router Just use airport utility to scan frequency, see what is in use and yes if you can switch to 5ghz absolutely do that. | |
| NAD M33 issues, don't know where to start Ouch. That's a pretty new unit to be incurring that type of repair charge. I did consider this model. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... This is why my trusty Monitor Audio Silvers haven't been shown the door yet. They just work so darned well. I demo'd an SF Olympica with an MC452 driving it and was totally underwhelmed. I come back to my system is far from broken, and have one... | |
| Node 3 or Better Streamer FWIW I did in home A/B test of Lumin D2 vs. my Node. I wanted it to be better and maybe it marginally was....but the UI killed any sense of wanting to live with that. | |
| The Smiths. The Stone Roses. James. OK I recognize this thread is ancient but can't help myself, as much has changed since the original writing of this. Yesterday I went to my dealer and ended up looking at a streamer from a company called "HiFi Rose" and when I searched Rose on ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 Hi all, Stopped in at my dealer with the intention of starting a "would a DAC help my BS node" conversation and they introduced me to this. I didn't listen to it but got a look at the UI and it was impressive. Also, they recently added Apple m... | |
| trying to contact Albertsportis If you know exactly what you are looking for, and/or you're willing to hear the brutal truth about some gear he's your guy. If you're looking to be treated with kid gloves move on. I'm in sales and respect when people use the challenger sales mo... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? I missed the speaker brand (would like to know) but likely still going to answer Luxman, Pass, Gryphon or Hegel. Mac 5300 isn't in same range as much of what we are describing here. As someone else said move up the line 1-2 notches if you can. ... | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's @richmon that Leaf Hound record was one (actually 2) of the most expensive sales on Discogs last month. I had no idea it was that in demand. | |
| 180g new vs. NM used Thanks everyone for the insights. I'm trying to figure out how to get to the details on discogs like "best pressing" of a certain record (think LZ II RL pressing, if such anomalies exist for other records) and can't seem to figure out what everyo... | |
| Vinyl Repair? Thanks everyone. I clearly need to hang out on Discogs more. I am going to try the toothpick and will advise if for nothing else future time travelers to take advantage of should they happen upon this thread. | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good This thread is so subjective. A dude with an AVR is complaining about the quality of the node? Come on already. I teed up the node back to back with a Lumin in my home for the weekend, struggled to come up with a difference. Had audiophile/musicia... | |
| Are there any audiophile Air BnB's? Hi all, thanks for the insights here. I hadn't thought about vinyl as a potential attraction point.... @dekay the one you posted is quite cool. @jsal3689 that is interesting also, thanks for posting. It reminds me of the inspiration for this..... | |
| Are there any audiophile Air BnB's? @dodgealum that sounds like a fantastic option. Please do keep me posted. |
