| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community Thank you @daveman2. Nicely said...Happy listening. | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Why the ad hominem attacks on the OP? He's stating an opinion and adding in his personal experiences to support thoughts on the matter. If you wish to refute it, fine but I don't believe there's any reason for name calling. The churlish remarks do... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? IMHO, I wouldn't limit yourself to balanced outputs. I think for this application it's not going to make THAT significant a difference. For one thing, when you connected your Node to your preamp, you were using unbalanced RCA interconnects anyways... | |
| What’s your obstacles on the way of listening We live on a pretty quiet street. No through traffic. I never listen in the mornings as I prefer quiet starts to the day. But the afternoons? Lawnmowers, big jets sometimes (We live under one of the flight paths for Paine Field) and sometimes the ... | |
| Preamp making loud pitched morse code sound I recently had an experience where I had a wifi router too close to my system. Everything was okay (CD and streamer) but when I turned on my phono pre-preamp, Conrad-Johnson Premier 6, it would pick up RFI from the router that sounded like the ali... | |
| Speaker Positioning - ProAc D30RS Not being familiar with those I looked up the images of them. I see that they have tweeters that are offset to one side. You might try experimenting by swapping them to see if they image better with the tweeters inboard vs outboard of center. Soun... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @Ha ha! Success!! I obtained a 25' length of Cat8 and moved the mesh node across the room from the system. The resulting move got rid of the interference and my phono stage is blessedly quiet once again. So excellent wifi coverage, hardwiring for ... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @lalitk Ah you didn't see my update from a few days ago then. "Turns out having the mesh node in the stereo cabinet is a bad idea with regards to my C-J Premier 6 pre-preamp... It's VERY sensitive to EMI".So I simply need to move the node from i... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @lalitk Agreed on the powerline adapters. As for the Node2i existing for background music vs being my "focus", about 95% of the time it conveniently provides the soundtrack to our end of the week cocktail hour. But for that other 5% I’m still expl... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @bacobits1 Just looked those and it's simply another implementation of mesh technology, which is what I have. But the problem isn't the node itself, it's the proximity to my rig. I just need to put some distance between it and the C-J.@jetter No... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @mlsstl Thanks for the suggestion. Problem is, now I have the investment in the mesh network... I think my solution of running Cat5 from across the living room has legs though. I can tuck the cable under the quarter round and carpeting and put th... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! Turns out having the mesh node in the stereo cabinet is a bad idea with regards to my C-J Premier 6 pre-preamp... It's VERY sensitive to EMI. So I either need to move the mesh node across the living room and run Cat5 or shut down the node to play... | |
| Pimping your router Yeah turns out proper shielding is a thing. I wrote about improving my streaming experience but hadn't tested the effects on the rest of the system:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bluesound-node2i-and-wifi-frustrations-meshTurns out having ... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? @goofyfoot If you feel that strongly right now about the vinyl gestalt, you might sell just the turntable and phono section but KEEP THE VINYL. 200 LPs won't take up that much space. Just box well and keep in storage. Later if you decide to get ba... | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? @audiorustyYep! They're on the list! The potential bonus is that as my current RHL is 10" and seems to move plenty of air, I may only NEED one. Thanks again!Happy listening |
