| BluSound Node and Node 2 @danimaz Are you using your Node2 via wifi? I've had my Node2 for a three years now. At first it was glitchy and connecting via the app quite frustrating. I then ran some Cat6 from my mesh extender to the Node2 and it was a completely different ... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Here you go. HTH: | |
| Pacific Audio Fest I went Friday all day and listened in most of the rooms. Someone pointed out the strange layout of the show but the way the hotel’s wings are set up, I don’t think they had a choice! Once I figured out where the "wings" were it was easy to get aro... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Twenty Flight Rock... cover by Montrose. | |
| After the thrill is gone @inscrutable I'm rather where you are however my pop (RIP) made the choice for me. I inherited his system which was SOTA 25 years ago... I'll spare you all the full front end inventory. The electronics and speakers however are Jadis pre and Defy7... | |
| New equipment LOL... I feel for you sir. About four years ago I changed "one little thing" then went on a two year hunt and wound up changing everything but my TT and speakers. Oh well...🙄 Happy listening! | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp In a somewhat analogous situation, I ran a pair of Hafler DH-220s bridged into a pair of Acoustat 1+1 and RHLabs sub. I thought it sounded fine until someone smarter than me pointed out that the amps were likely quite unstable in that configurati... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Acoustat 1+1s, 7'10" tall B&W Matrix 800, 240lbs each | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise My sincere apologies! My mistake... @ozzy62 Please make note. 😉 | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @jjss49 Ah thank you for the citations and clarification on this process! 👌 So the D to A process is still happening, they're being creative with the design to do it with. Slick. Happy listening. | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise If you use the digital output of the Bluesound Node, you ARE using it's internal DAC. The only way to it is to use the analog outputs, which there are not analog inputs on the Peachtree amp. I'm sorry sir however, you have that exact... | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise There is a coax in on that GaN that would come from your DAC. In the case of the Bluesound, it has an internal DAC. However you could insert an external DAC between the Bluesound and the GaN. Volume control could be via either the DAC o... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? Alphabetical by band/artist, then chronological inside that. Jazz are separate as is Classical. However, Classical is a bit of a problem isn't it? Do you sort by composer? By conductor? By performer? I've inherited my father's 3,400 LP collect... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets One thing that I am curious about is if upgraded power cables will eliminate the issue of my lights dimming when listening at reasonable high volume. I had that happen to me in an older home. Over the years the connections at the wall outlet ca... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Interesting thread! Although we hear in binaural fashion, hearing impediments aside, the world comes at us from all directions. I think part of the reason why "stereo" is the dominant playback method was the technology for both recording and playb... |
