| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Following up on The Beach Boys mono post. I picked up a nice early mono pressing of Smiley Smile on Brother Records. I had probably heard Good Vibrations hundreds of times before spinning this record and it was like I was listening to it for the f... | |

| SACD Transport Recommendations Steveinthebeach... I've had an interest in the Denafrips Ares II. Did you purchase yours from the dealer in Singapore and if so diid the process and receipt of the shipment go smoothly? Thanks. | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 adg101.. Thanks for the diagnosis on the Nakamichi CDP. I'll have to check into repair shops. That Cambridge 851C looks like a great CDP and with all of the additional digital inputs and balanced inputs and outputs also. Fully loaded.Must be built... | |
| streaming devices, which would you buy? lobinero... I have Audio set to fixed in the BluOS settings and control volume through my Preamp no different than when using the Turntable or CD player. It keeps it simple but you do have to have your Preamp remote nearby if you want to adjust vo... | |
| streaming devices, which would you buy? Lobinero...if you want to keep it simple at first just start out with the Bluesound Node 2i and a decent set of RCA interconnects at a price that you would normally budget for cables and connect it to your nice Preamplifier and see if you are sati... | |
| streaming devices, which would you buy? Thanks for the info on Denafrips. I’m not sure about ordering from Singapore so would have to give thst one some thought.back to the main subject on streaming devises I use the Node 2i with Amazon HD and am very happy with the streaming capabiliti... | |
| streaming devices, which would you buy? Calvinandhobbes...following up on your note on the quality of the Denafrips DAC. I may have a future interest in a new DAC and the Ares II caught my eye on their website but it seems their primary dealer is in Singapore. Are you aware of any deale... | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 mahler123, you are correct that part of my interest in a new CD player is seeing what the new onboard DAC can do. I am currently running both my CD player and Node 2i through the DAC in my PS Audio Gain Cell Preamp that to my ears sounds better th... | |
| Time to upgrade my turntable? If you are interested in changing to a Moving Coil cartridge look into the Hana Shibata MC cartridges for $750 at a similar price to the Ortofon Black MM cart. They are offered in a low or high output. Hana makes a great MC cart for the money. | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 I think if I would go the DAC route I would select a less expensive CD player or CD transport as opposed to a cheap DVD player because I find the cheaper DVD players to have flimsy disc transports where the CD players have a better transport. Thanks. | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 Interesting thought that opens up another can of worms on all of the DAC's out there. Looks like the Ares II goes for about $1K. | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i I also find the sound quality to be excellent from Amazon HD in the BluOs app playing into my main 2-channel system. Try Stevie Ray Vaughan's Tin Pan Alley in HD from his Couldn't Stand The Weather album. Absolutely unbelievable sound. | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i I can't comment on Tidal but I use my iPhone and iPad with the BluOs app and stream directly to my Node 2i without ever having to go to the Amazon Music App. I can create, edit, and save playlists directly in the BluOs app. I can also search music... | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i Looking at some of the other comments I can create and add playlists directly within the Bluesound app and my songs will also show up in the queue tab without problems. With that said the Blueound app does lack a lot of the nice features that are ... |
