Jazz for aficionados
Although I've been on Audiogon for years, I'm just seeing this thread. I'm in my 50's now, and I started in my teens with Miles and Coltrane. Most of my jazz listening came from collecting the 7000 or so LP's now in my collection. I see the first ... 
Retired audiophile?
As our systems improve, our hearing declines. At some point the curves cross. Then, any enjoyment we derive from improving our systems is imaginary. Not that there's anything wrong with that.. 
Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?
Just getting back to this thread after taking a break. Great stuff.Mr Bo, thank you. You have the true deep understanding of music and wires. You did the research and made the comparisons, and now you are bringing the truth. I will throw away my M... 
Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?
I had an Audioquest loom: Wel and Sky. Eventually I realized that that they sounded hard, etched, and cold. Gradually I replaced them all with MIT. No regrets. 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
People can define 'neutral' in various ways. How about this (?): When a playback system reproduces music in such a way that it sounds like what the mastering engineer heard in his studio, then it is a neutral playback system. Surely, good equipmen...

All of these products are designed to have a working internet connection in one way, shape, or form. What's the point in bickering over the details? 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.

"Why lack of internet updates should affect performance?  Performance is always the same if nothing is changing."Upgrades need to occur, for both the Ipad and server operating systems.Here's an analog analogy: There's a room in your house where yo...

True, the system would probably work fine without internet, at least until the lack of internet updates started to affect performance.

"Yes. It's like if your CD player broke, your entire CD collection is rendered useless."Not quite. If your CD player breaks, you can use another one. Or you can use your laptop, if it has a CD drive. On the other hand, if your wireless network is ... 
Servers: Are we there yet?
Yes, but I wasn't referring to streaming. I'm talking about the music that is now stored on the server's hard drive. It cannot be accessed without a working Ipad and a wireless network. If my wifi is down, the server is as dead as a doornail. My u...

I own the Aurender N10, and I'm content with it. However, without a functional IPad and Wifi connection, you might as well be listening to a brick. 
Servers: Are we there yet?
The point is, all Aurender servers and players require a wireless network, and an access device (Ipad).  
Servers: Are we there yet?
I believe it is.
