| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? troutki5040, please let us know how it sounds.I've got the 1st pressing, 2 different mofi LPs and a mofi CD, so I tried to resist buying the new DSOTM SACD.... but I'm sure I only succeeded in putting it off for a day or two. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listened to Paul Simon's "Graceland" on Amazon Music in "Ultra HD". It's a great album and it sounded nice, but the varied instruments and even Paul's voice lacked the live presence that I recalled.Put the 1st pressing of the same album that I bou... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? There’s a difference between bass punch and sub bass.Your Lore reference should be able to provide bass, but room acoustics and placement can effect the amount of bass they provide.The sub creates the lowest frequencies, greatly contributing to re... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? Joni Mitchell's "Wish I had a River"Joni Mitchell's "The last time I saw Richard"Johnny Cash covering "Hurt"...The music video adds to understanding his take on it. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Cakyol, thanks!Can't believe no one else mentioned that.The human ear simply does not hear higher and lower frequencies as well as the mid range at lower volumes.A speaker would have to be far from flat to sound great at low volumes and would soun... | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) The Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated is really nice. I got one 2 months ago and have now sold off my preamp and power amp....no regrets.Its very musical, outputs a clean 110 wpc @ 8 ohms, mm/mc phonostage, bass management, a good burr-brown DAC... | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i 1 month into a 3 month Amazon HD trial, I'm finding a number of albums or tracks on Amazon, that play as expected in the Amazon app, but do not play at all in BlueOS.So far, the vast majority of albums & tracks play on both the app and from Bl... | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions I've used a Node 2i for 18 months and I agree with many here that it's a great, easy to live with streamer with a mediocre DAC for a modest price.An external, higher quality DAC definitely improved my SQ. A Morrow coaxial cable and $150 power cabl... | |

| Tubes for Magnepan’s. Maggie 1.7's are not great a low volumes...they don't sound like Maggies at low volumes.A tube preamp and a high current ss amp is a good way to go. OP, in your original post, you said you upgraded the crossovers and planer tweeters. 1.7i's are e... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Carlsbad: Nailed it! | |
| New Bluesound Node might make older node easy/cheap entry point for reluctant streamers I'm seeing prices declining on eBay already. Not dropping off a cliff, but definitely trending lower.Saw one 2i sell for $220, but that was definitely a freak occurrence...to the dismay of the seller.Saw another that was at $179 1 min and 13 secon... |
