| 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 | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? High pass filter. That's the term I was looking for! Yes the RHL sub does have that as it is fed from the amp then the panels are fed from the sub after the lower frequencies are filtered out. What's nice about that arrangement is that the ESLs ar... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Hmmm... When I sit in the narrow sweetspot that I have and really listen, I’m thinking that what I’m hearing is what the producer wanted me to hear when they mastered the recording with reference to sound stage. Whether the sonic picture is narrow... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? Just a small note here: None of the high-zoot hardware that folks are talking about will matter very much unless the source material has been created with the appropriate fidelity. "Garbage in, garbage out." It's analogous to television: What good... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? @martin-andersenWhat do you mean by "better integrated" bass? Again I harp on "requirements": Can you give us some more info pls? Do you not have enough? Too much? Perhaps you have a nasty bump in the frequency response someplace and it's boomy? O... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @ hilde45I've been watching this thread with some amusement. Being in software for almost 40 years (Cripes I'm old!) I can tell you that unless one has complete requirements, including details on what the current environment is, ANY solution will ... |
