| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? @balooo2 , with respect to your "daisy chain" description, not quite. To daisy chain something means that you configuring whatever to be in series with one another. However a *mesh* system is not "in series". Here's a good explanation: https://ww... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? Please don't take what I say as gospel, it is merely my experience. Several have extolled the Asus Ai Mesh system and for what I have found is good reason: It works. It is easy to set up and tune and provides excellent coverage. We have one base ... | |
| Audio Research Owners Worried? To my way of thinking, I think the only thing an ARC owner would have to worry about are proprietary parts. For example, early CD players and Analogue Modules that you can't get anymore. And likely the new ghost displays. With the schematics howev... | |
| Admitting my error… As others have said, buying used is a crapshoot. And I'm not sure buying a large lot is really all that economical. How many treasures do you think you'd get versus the amount of dreck? Then there's the disposal of the stuff you don't want. Nah. B... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? OP here. I want to say that've been following this thread with great interest. I've enjoyed reading almost all of the posts especially those that present their own ideas on why the phenomenon seems to occur and how to go about getting past it. ... | |
| Forced to DIY When I owned four motorcycles the two that gave me joy to work on were the '93 Ducati 900SS and the '75 Moto Guzzi 850-T. But aside from oil changes, the other two, '96 BMW K1100RS and '04 Kawasaki ZX11-R got the "Visa Wrench". They simply were no... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? I think most everything we do in life involves the concept of "diminishing returns". I love cigars. And happily I've found that I don't have to break the bank to buy, say, Cuban puros over other less expensive smokes. Same goes for wine, cars a... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions @painter24 Thank you! Wow I love this. New music to listen to! Goes right back to the thread I started on new music: Why do we stop listening to new music? And I'm going to track down some of the other suggestions from this thread. Happy liste... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? @curiousjim mentioned Acoustat. For years I used a pair of Hafler DH-220s running in bridged mode to power them and the RH Labs sub I have. This provided about 440wpc. Then a few years ago someone pointed out to me that electrostatics aren't exact... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Hmm, where to begin? One of the main qualities of "stereo" is to provide a sense of space and placement. Wiki has a pretty decent article about it: So in that regard, imaging is rather important element of stereo else we’d all have one spea... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Wow this has been a delightful conversation! Lot of interesting comments and suggestions for new music. Thank you! I gave it some thought and started wondering what defines "new music" in the context of this conversation? Is it chronologically ne... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? @kenjit says... "Scanspeak drivers mounted in concrete walls 10 inch thick with the rear side facing a large room filled with fibreglass... The KSS would offer the best of both worlds. A wooden box, without the wooden sound..." Concrete walls, w... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. For me, it can only be... Santana Abraxas, the original Columbia pressing. Also for those expressing concern about something being their only choice, the OP did not state that it would be playing constantly. Only that it would be the only record... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear @asvjerry yeah, I was pop's "strong back" for many a year and odd job. 🤣 It took me about a week to disassemble and pack everything into their crates and boxes. (Interesting factoid: Those B&W's are shipped in Danish wood crates!) Thank goodn... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear @zufan yeah, I get it. Earlier this year I went to FL from WA to pack up my deceased pop's rig that he left me... B&W Matrix 800s (~250lbs ea) VPI TNT V Hotrod (~150lbs) Jadis JP80 MC (~70lbs) Jadis Defy 7 (~80lbs) Accuphase DP90 and DC 9... |
