| Your first concert was to see who and when? I guess technically, fall of 1978, Mahogany Rush at a high school sock hop. But the first live convert that really affected me was Chicago at Chicago's Navy Pier in the summer of 1980. | |
| Audio Mirror WAVE DAC k The Wave DAC looks interesting for sure. Hopefully Vlad or an early adopter will chime in. I have the Tubadour VI which is amazing. I sent Vlad my III SE in as a trade up. The VI has all the analog qualities of past AM Dac's with an incredible inf... | |
| Hattor Audio Autoformer Reference Preamplifier @mitch2 I also run the Hattor The Big Preamplifier and am looking forward to your comparison with the new autoformer pre. Also would like to hear your experience with how The Big Pre has compared to other brands. | |
| Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 preamplifier: New Stereo Times review on a great line-stage Nice review Teajay. Thanks for sharing. | |
| What is your audio axiom? Enjoy the music first - and appreciate the gear you have now. Take it slow. If funds are a concern, always consider buying used. | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @sadbird If PD Creative supports either 2.1 or 2.5mm DC plugs then perhaps the supplied cable from ZEROZONE will work. It has been a number of years since working with the PD Creative board and perhaps my recollection was off or they are now using... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @nothelle Installed the LHY audio kit, now i understand all the praises of changing the power supply unit out of the bluenode. Give the board some time to burn in. It will improve. Enjoy! | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped +1 Andy Kim. He upgraded my DL 103. Highly recommended. | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo Also +1 on the Iris DDC. Another cost effective addition. Improves clarity with a blacker background. Get one used. | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo For upgrading your Node, I would order the PD Creative board ONLY. It is about $85 plus shipping. https://pd-cf.com/produkt/bluesound-node-2021-upgrade-low-noise-psu-interface/ Then order this Power supply from AliExpress. Select the 5V option. ... | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped I had a Denon DL103 with a missing cantilever. I sent it off to an independent re-tipper who had great feedback. The upgraded cart I got back was transformed to another level. There are good re-tippers out there. | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped Like @dwette said. And try and do some research on your specific case. Who did the re-tip? If you can find out, read reviews of their work. | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo Any 5V dc power supply should work as long as it has more than 2 amps I believe. The IFI will work fine. And it will sound better than a stock Node. Just not as good as it can with a higher end LPS. | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo I use the PD Creative board and Sbooster LPS on a Node 2i and I have the Fidelity Audio board and LPS on a Node 130. In both cases the external power makes a significant difference in sound. And this is when using a separate DAC. Definitely a cost... | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? I would not agree with the idea that digital recordings have more bass than their analog counterpart. Aside from purposely over engineered or compressed digital release, I would argue that if your bass is light when playing analog it is due to the... |
