| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i My first exposure to steaming was a simple BT receiver which went to my pre and I just streamed Pandora and iTunes from my phone. Not the best sound of course but I was hooked by the convenience. So I upgraded to a Node2i and really enjoyed the up... | |
| Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ? Seems a bit... dear. As others have suggested: Check with an SF dealer. FWIW I still have the boxes for all my gear including my Acoustat 1+1's. IMHO, nothing will protect your investment like original packing. Which reminds me I need to get boxes... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Two words: Speakers first!More words... Everything thing else will hinge on that. Amp, sources, etc. IMHO you cannot make a wise decision on an amplifier, integrate or otherwise until you know what speakers you will be using. Enjoy the hunt.Happy ... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? IMHO speakers have the most influence in the overall sound and character of a system. If you’re already set on your source (RTR) then speakers logically would be the next step. Pick your "sound" and THEN get the requisite electronics. Bookshelf or... | |
| Craigslist Fraud To the OP: Well done for not falling for that! | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? I will not click. I will not click. I will not.... Dammit! | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... RH Labs from Portland OR | |
| How old are you? Mid-60's here. Started with my brother's hand me down system of AR speakers a Dynaco SCA 35 and Dual TT. Moved on to Kenwood and Large Advents and on from there... Lots of pop's hand me downs. I still have his Nak 700, CA Audio Labs CD and his old... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? rushfan71 , I can relate! I owned a Ducati for 22-23 years. When i wasn’t riding it or fettling with it, I would sit in the garage with a beverage and a calm mind and just marvel at the art that is an Italian motorcycle... Yes, I had other bikes,... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits If money were no object? I'd have Diana Krall and her ensemble come perform for me on the weekends. :) | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? If I may? I too originally had bad experiences with the Node2i. Bad connectivity to the internet, the decommissioned Apple i6 I use couldn’t find it, etc. I was thinking it would be "plug and play" however it is not. Like any other component, it t... | |
| Tube rolling: ARC VS110 I'll do that. Can't hurt to ask right? Thanks! | |
| Tube rolling: ARC VS110 Thanks jjss49. The problem is I don’t believe the VS110 won’t support the KT88. Thanks though! | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? Hello @chungjh, My apologies for the late reply. I humbly suggest that you approach it from a feasibility POV first: Will an amp of this size and configuration really work for you? By looking at a class of amp vs. looking at a specific brand or mo... | |
| Analog vs digital? Ah! Another Linn devotee. I too have an LP12/Valhalla which also got a tune up this year. New belt, cleaned and lubed bearing and a thorough recalibration of the suspension and tone arm. Pop would have been delighted with the result as its perform... |
