| 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 ... | |
| Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i I find the actual Amazon HD app very good for navigating and much better than navigating Amazon HD within the Bluesound app. The problem is if I go direct to the Node 2i in my audio system wirelessly from my iPhone or iPad with Airplay from the Am... | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 Thanks for the info on my cable question. I didn't expect there would be a noticeable difference with that short of a run. I appreciate the input.Marantz released a new version of the CD6006 and is now a CD6007 with an updated DAC that looks like ... | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 Thanks. The Marantz is on my list also. A few friends of mine have Marantz CD players and they sound great and are very well built.Does anyone have any experience testing a short 3' run of balanced interconnects vs RCA interconnects from a source ... | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 Correction on my part. The cables between my Preamp and CD Player would only be 3’ so further raises the question if balanced cables would be an advantage over RCA interconnects. | |
| CD player suggestions under $700 Thanks guys. All good suggestions. I’ve been a fan of Cambridge Audio and Rotel over the years. Emotiva is new to me and the balanced audio outputs has raised my interest. Rotel also has their RCD-1572 fitted with balanced outputs but getting up t... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I am driving a pair of Vandersteen Treo’s with a PS Audio Stellar S300 Power Amp and am very satisfied with the performance. Class D output stage and Class A input stage. I needed a smaller amp and it has plenty of power, sounds great, and no heat... | |
| Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...? I have an 8’ run of Canare 4S11 with spade connectors purchased from Blue Jeans to my Vandersteen Treo’s and have been very satisfied with performance and the build quality of the cables. I am also using Wire World interconnects from the Cable Com... | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Dire Straits - In The Gallery from their First Album.James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind re-recorded version for his first Greatest Hits Album.Led Zeppelin - I Can’t Quit You Babe from Led Zeppelin I.All on early original pressings. | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more If you are considering spending $10K on the Revel F228’s you should see if you could audition the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. They sound great for all types of music and your Amp has plenty of power to drive them. | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K I’ll second the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. I have had the original Treo’s for a few years now and continue to be blown away by how good they sound. I have similar music tastes as you and listen to vinyl, CD’s and Stream and all formats sound great at ... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Yes on the Relayer Tour in 1974. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Natalie MerchantLinda Ronstadt Emmylou HarrisComment on Jennifer Warnes. Possibly one of the best vocalists out there but my tastes lean more towards rock and blues. The song she did on the Duets album with Rob Wasserman is absolutely outstanding. | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. Following up on a few suggestions on upgraded fuses which I never thought would make a difference but since it was mentioned by a few people in the know it has gotten my curiosity up. I checked out the Synergistic website and see they have a few o... |
