| Bluesound Node 2i Question Streams from the router to the Node. iPad is just for control. Example, select an album on Tidal, turn the iPad off, music continues playing. | |
| Tube (Primaluna) or Solid state (Parasound JC2) Between those two choices I would take the Primaluna tube preamp to pair with your JC 1 amps. The JC 1 have a 100k ohm input impedance so will match with a tubed preamp no problem. I like tubes in the equipment chain. | |
| Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy Another possibility is that it’s telling the truth, as in bearing issues with the arm.No mention made of the type of tone arm. If a unipivot that possibility is out. | |
| Looking for more transparency. The Morrow interconnects are excellent in my experience. I use them on all my source components except the turntable which has a captive harness. I seriously doubt you would find much of an improvement starting there.A different power cord might... | |
| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. I like Michael Green’s suggestion.A streamer plus a Tidal subscription is another good option. So much music to explore for such a small investment. | |
| Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component" Stepped volume controls are a non starter for me. I always find a point where one step is too quiet and the next one too loud. Multi function controls suck as well.Any tube amp that bias cannot be easily checked and adjusted.Any tube amp that ta... | |
| Speakers for Leben CS300XS Proac D30R or Devore 0/96 are both outstanding. Smaller versions of those two brands, the D20R and 0/93 should also sound great but I have not heard them. You have one of my favorite amps that I don’t own. If I had to start all over again, the ... | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? My Node 2i is on the 5ghz network about 30 feet from the router. No drop outs ever encountered.My Vault 2 in another system is just 3 feet from the router and of course Ethernet Wired.If it’s easy to connect wired, why not. Otherwise, I find wir... | |
| B&W Concept 90 CM2 bass module needs new crossover or replacement - thoughts? Have you removed the crossover network from the speaker? If so, take a photo. You can contact members bigkidz or grannyring as they have posted regarding speaker crossover mods and electronic repair. Perhaps one of them can assist you with repair. | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? It’s fun to read the music reviews in TAS and Stereophile, then immediately access the albums via Tidal. Every so often I find a gem. Then there are the majority that I’m glad I didn’t purchase which was the reality prior to Tidal. There’s no s... | |
| Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem Why not just request a new volume control? | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question I have tube amps and dual subs. I use the subs speaker level inputs. The signal is sourced directly from the main speakers terminal via an additional length of the same speaker cable used for the main speakers. | |
| Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at? Then there are others such as myself that have no problems with the updates nor any other operational issues with the Node 2i. Set up and ease of use are exemplary. It sounds fantastic in my big system. I will say that being powered through my ... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Winter home in the east valley of metro Phoenix AZ. Summer home in the beautiful White Mountains of northern AZ. It’s nice to visit snow in the winter, then return to the desert. Summers are no fun in the desert. | |
| Eric Bibb “Global Griot” removed from Tidal due to streaming I just noticed only the cd version returned. No MQA. Better than nothing though. |
