| Audiolab 6000CDT It’s an excellent transport. I bought mine about a year ago and feed into my MHDT Orchid DAC. I have a Wireworld Supernova 7 Toslink connecting them together. | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Everything in the signal path impacts the sound quality. How much of an impact depends on the synergy with the other components in the system, particularly in this conversation, as one would expect, the speakers. Many speakers are very forgiving, ... | |
| Streaming The BlueSound Node is a good entry into streaming, but it’s internal DAC is it’s weakest component. I upgraded to an MHDT Orchid DAC (has an output stage tube). The SQ upgrade is significant. I even plan to soon go further soon with SQ improvement... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Absurd question. They’re are many flavors. It depends on your preference. Everyone’s ears are different! | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. Use a freight company double boxed and on a pallet as others have recommended. I would shy away from FedEx and wouldn’t even consider UPS. UPS is extremely rough with heavy fragile items and their claims department is thoroughly indifferent and wi... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 My Node 2 has been great. Sound improved a lot when I added an MHDT Orchid DAC. I plan also to soon add a Teddy Pardo external power supply to improve the streaming fidelity even more. I’ve never had any issues with the Node 2. The app has been fi... | |
| Most economical way to ship large speakers? If you must ship them make sure they are strapped to pallets and use a highly rated freight company. Stay away from UPS (and FedEx) like kryptonite. They will be rough with your speakers and if they get damaged their claims department is WORST to ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Lots to choose from, these come to mind at the moment since I’m listening to Trentemoller right now… Trentemoller - Late Night Tales Bonobo - Late Night Tales Phantogram - Eyelid Movies Trifonic - Emergence | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? I recently had my Apogee Duetta II Signature Series magnetostatic full range ribbon speakers upgraded completely with top of the line Graz ribbons, Wilson caps/crossovers generally, internal and external strengthening, etc. I’m absolutely floored ... | |
| Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120. I have a Node 2 with an MHDT DAC (has an output tube). It sounds excellent, but the streamer is the weakest link in the signal path. Instead of a new streamer I’m buying a Teddy Pardo external power supply kit for the Node 2 that I’m told will onl... | |
| NODE as just a streamer / Airplay device I’ve got the Node 2 just streaming with an MHDT orchid DAC. The combo works really well. I plan to soon upgrade the Node 2 considerably by adding an external Teddy Pardo power supply bypassing the cheap internal power supply of the Node 2. Everyon... | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? The article is a complete turd. No way these are actual speakers. The author can barely write in full sentences. Do they go down to 16 Hz or 47Hz because you contradict yourself! Moving on. I can’t believe the OP even bothered to post this. Very o... | |
| Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they? A great transport (assuming you have a DAC) that I think is a steal at $600 is the AudioLab 6000CDT. I love mine I bought about 8 months ago. | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) There is an incredible variety of great music still being created all the time. One just has to keep an open mind and be curious and willing to put the time in to search it out. I find great new music literally almost every day. I also don’t limit... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One “Singles” soundtrack. Great music from the ‘90s Seattle-centric grunge era including Mother Love Bone, Mud Honey, Chris Cornell, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, etc. Classic movie too. Eddie Vedder does a great cameo. Another great soundtrack is “Pre... |
