| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time I agree that heat is the enemy of electronic equipment. I also think that if kept cool, you can run your equipment 7/24 with no issues. Computers are a good example of that. My desktop computer is liquid cooled, runs 7x24, and I've never had a ... | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time I must say, my music does sound much better when I leave the equipment on. My NAD M12 pre/dac and M22 v2 power amp have a standby mode, but the Zenith does not. First chance I get, I'm going to place the NADs in standby mode for a few hours and ... | |
| Tidal and Squeezebox I run LMS on a Innous Zenith and a Synology NAS. The Zenith is in my main system, it is synchronized with a SqueezeBox Duet connected to a secondary system in my rec room.The Synology NAS is connected to a Raspberry PI in my home office and 4 Air... | |

| blue jeans cable? First I made my own bi-wire cables :-). Bought a pair of their Canare cables and the sound improvement was rather dramatic. The build quality is outstanding IMHO, and the price was definitely right. | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time Zenith setup is very user friendly. Instead of Roon, I use LMS because I have several Squeezebox Duets, Raspberry PI Squeezelight players, and AirPlay speakers making up my whole house music system. I have the 2 TB model and have started ripping... | |

| 20 Amp Power Cables into a 15A Power Conditioner If you use an adaptor it will be detrimental to your sound just use the right connector!! That's my intention. I was offered a good deal on 20 amp cables and was just looking at options. | |
| 20 Amp Power Cables into a 15A Power Conditioner Thanks for the advice. | |
| Innuos Zenith I bought the Zenith MKII and I must say, it's SQ is a lot better than my Mac 7008 MCD and Squeezebox Duet! Plus, I no longer need/use either of those on my main system. Since Roon does not support the ability to synchronize "rooms" that use dif... | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? I’ve been using a stock SL-1600 MK2 for over 30 years. I bought it while stationed in Germany back in the early 80's. I've considered upgrading the arm and cart, but lately, I've been doing more streaming than playing vinyl. While I love the ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? As a person somewhat new to digital music, I was very skeptical at first; however, I've learned that cables do matter. Streaming Tidal in my system (NAD M12/M22 v2/Innuos Zenith MK2, Tannoy 8 dcti), I compared my stock USB, Ethernet, and power ... | |
