| 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... | |
| Better hearing I’m a clay shooter. When I shot pistol at indoor ranges, I’d double up with both earplugs and shooter muffs. I used to ride motorbikes for 35-40 years as well... Again, ear plugs always. I don’t like loud television or the radio too loud in the ca... | |
| Where do I go from here? @patrickalston , I too have a pair of Acoustat 1+1s that I've owned since new. If they've not been energized for 20 some years, there's a good chance they need some work done. The panels are remarkably sturdy so I'm suspecting it's the transformer... | |
| The latest audiophile streamer craze This is actually well known among network geeks. GTFS: “wifi pringles can” for other examples. Happy listening. | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 @mofimadness believe me, until I posted here I was on course for exactly that! However, sometimes I actually use my big head to think things through. 25 years is a long time for electronics to lie dormant, especially something as sophisticated as... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Circling back: I spoke to Chris at http://www.pyramid-audio.com/levinson.html He was quite friendly and helpful regarding my ML335. As you can see at the link they have quite a bit of experience with ML gear. They also have engineers that special... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Thanks again for all of your inputs. Some more background on this particular amp that it occurred to me I should’ve mentioned at the outset. This amp likely has very, very few hours on it. It was used with a a pair of B&W Matrix 800 Series O... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Thank you everyone for your comments. As it is still in its original box and well packed, I think it would be worth finding a service center to examine it. The toughest thing about that is finding a competent shipper! Happy listening | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Orrr.. Look into an older ARC preamp? SP8, SP9… Or if you can stretch a bit SP11. Happy listening. | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection One word: MESH. Our home has three nodes on a ASUS Mesh network. The node in the living room is separated from the hi-fi by a 25’ Cat8 cable to ameliorate any noise being generated by the wifi node. This is a major improvement over the internal ... |
