| Anthony (Tony) Cordesman has passed away OMGosh. Like others I remember “AC” from TAS. I also recall seeing and hearing his analysises during interviews on the evening news occasionally. Never did imagine them to be the same individual! I’m saddened by the passing of yet another giant i... | |
| Buying online, online searches and Scams oh my! My wife collects Wizard of Oz. She was looking for a particular piece and lo and behold I found one for her. UNfortunately it was one of those sites like the OP mentioned which double unfortunately, I didn't figure out until after she ordered her ... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! No question: My Acoustat 1+1s and added later, RHLabs sub. They and my pop's hand me down Linn LP12 are the only constants in my system since '84. Amps and preamps have come and gone but those panels still make me smile after all this time. Happy... | |
| Help needed to eliminate unwanted noise from tweeter The OP says: c) DAC - Denafrip Ares II (standby power) - Once I plug in, I could hear the sizzling noise from tweeters when my ear is near speaker. d) Music streamer - Unplug Ares II, and plug in Eversolo DMP A6, similarly I could hear noise fro... | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? I have a pair of very tall ESLs. As many planar speakers do, they "beam" meaning that the sound stage is not very dispersed. However, you CAN play with it by using varying amounts of toe-in. Counter intuitively, less toe-in creates a very focus... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice All of the advice about auditioning speakers before you buy them is valid IMHO. Seems a fool's errand to not do so. Something else to consider: Why not buy "pre-owned"? Now, think of the speakers you could acquire for your $20K! And as you'd be... | |
| What to do with a large collection "It seems a shame to have forked over so much money and wind up with nothing." Remember, you "forked over" your money to be able to enjoy the music! If you didn't enjoy any of it, that would be one thing. But presuming you have, I'd say cheer up!... | |
| Power strip recommendations I have a couple of these for my stereo: "Belkin Power Strip Surge Protector - 6 Rotating AC Multiple Outlets, Flat Pivot Plug - Heavy Duty Wall Outlet Extender for Home, Office, Travel, Computer Desktop & Phone Charging Brick (1,080 Joules)" ... | |
| LP storage advice please? @68pete they're on end, of course! The boxes are heavy moving boxes, all new. Regarding mold, the condo was airconditioned and well maintained. And as I mentioned, everything is currently in climate controlled storage. Happy listening! | |
| LP storage advice please? The collection was in my parents' FL condo for 30+ years. Pop had them on some cheap graybar shelving. When I packed them, I made sure the boxes were snuggly packed so they wouldn't shift, lean or sag. I plan on using the Kallax system in our ne... | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? Our next home will have a smoke friendly audio room so I may just get myself a smoking jacket. And hat! Fortunately for me, my wife also enjoys the occasional sharing of a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Claro #3 with her hubby. I'm not too con... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? As others have said, a lot of my music playing is streaming. It's convenient. However, when I want to sit and really listen, most times I fire up my Linn LP12 Vahalla and enjoy my LPs. Yes, I can also sit and 'really listen' to my digital front en... | |
| Solved my streaming grunge (inner detail) problem When I first set up my mesh network I set up the node in my stereo cabinet. BIG mistake! While my Node2i was seemingly unaffected, my phono front end was unusable. The solution was simple. I moved the mesh node across the room and ran a 25’ stre... | |
| Redundant Internet Thing about power outages and wireless is, cell towers have battery backups. So for shorter outages, you’ll be golden. However when I lived on Vashon Island, after 3 days or so even those backup power supplies went flat. Happy listening. | |
| new to streaming- help! @yage nailed it... The OP said: "This is in a college dorm rather than private home." Which @yage diagnosed: "Are you trying to connect the Node to the campus wi-fi / local network? If so, the university IT staff may be blocking certain network... |
