| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? For me it’s an ever changing list, but my favorites recently are: Sara Bareilles Brandi Carlile Eva Cassidy | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole @curiousjim Her band was great (bassist, drummer, guitarist). Sound quality was great. Venue was great. She on the other hand, phoned it in. She sang maybe 1/4-1/3 of the time. The rest of the evening was an endless parade of instrumental solos... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole My wife and I saw Diana Krall in concert recently. Underwhelming, to be polite. Never again. | |
| Pass Labs Speaker Choices XA60.8 monos -> Magico A5s | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll In answer to the OP, I’ve got a pair of Pass XA60.8s, and living in MN, I appreciate that they are space heaters in the winter. Warm and cozy. In the summer, the extra heat is tedious and the a/c has to work harder to compensate. I’d love to have... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Ethernet cabling within sane distances is simple, cheap, reliable, and doesn’t suffer performance (speed) degradation. If you can physically do it. With WIFI reliability and speed can be tricky, and it’s not as cheap (although not nearly as expen... | |
| Is it possible to connect Lumin x1 to Hegel H390? Sorry, I don't own a Hegel or use Roon but I'll hazard to try and help. You say you have your T2 and your Hegel connected via XLR, which is an analog connection. Via that connection your Hegel is not involved in the streaming/DAC process, at all,... | |
| for Lumin T2 owners - is Tidal Connect now available Yes, you can use Tidal connect on a T2. I use it with my T2 all the time. Be sure to get the latest firmware (Tidal Connect was added last summer. Free). Lumin app is the same for all Lumin models. Usable but meh. Remember, that using Tidal Conn... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? Use Tidal connect. I think your Lumin will advertise itself as a Tidal connect endpoint automatically. I’m not sure if you need to configure the Tidal connection in the lumin app or not (for your account information). It’s probably a safe bet to... | |
| Streamers/DACs There's nothing inherently wrong with using WIFI for your streamer as long as the WIFI is consistent and can sustain bandwidth suitable for streaming audio (which really isn't that demanding). You can get a wifi extender with a hard-wire port on... | |
| Streaming Spotify vs Tidal In order for Tidal connect to find your devices, your devices need to support it (eg - Bose would need to implement it). Bose is not listed as supporting Tidal connect on Tidal's website. Tidal connect support is not as common as the similar Spot... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? +1 @builder3 If you’re using Tidal, use the Tidal app on your machine of choice with Tidal connect and you never need to use the Lumin app (except for configuration). It’s not that the Lumin app is that bad (it’s not really that hard to use), b... | |
| Lumin Tidal connect user Yes, you can run the Tidal app on your PC*, and use Tidal connect with your X1. It operates similarly to how it does on an iPad/iPhone. * - I've never run it on a Windows™ PC, but do so on my mac(s). I expect it works the same on Windows. | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? I listen to Tidal in my home office 5-12 hours a day 5 days a week for the last 2 years (thankyou, covid), and in my car (via iPhone) when I'm out and about. I can count on 1 hand the times I had a temporary problem related to the service. Your pr... | |
