| New Bluesound's Node 2i Ordered one today through Amex Awards and ships from Crutchfield. I’m really excited to find out how this sounds on my big system. I’ve really enjoyed using the Vault 2 in my modest mountain home system. Hopefully my expectations will be fulfil... | |
| What to do...What to do? Twoleftears pretty much summed up my thoughts. Let us know how things work out. | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2? I highly recommend a tube preamp partnered with a Wyred for Sound ST 500 amp. I have B&W N802 and Concept 90 speakers. This combo is killer on both pairs. Beware of all the hearsay recommendations from people that don’t own B&W speakers... | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i According to the review, same DAC but improved WiFi implementation and circuit layout results in better sound. Price is the same with added features. Result, an even better value than before. | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i Interesting, I was ready to order a Node 2 via my Amex awards program. When I checked yesterday the Node 2 was not listed even though it was available in October. So I’m guessing the new model introduction is why. Hopefully the new 2i model wil... | |
| Advice, changing system from Sugden & Harbeth to Leben & Devore ? Buy the Leben. I’ve listened to it on both the Devore 0/96 and Proac D30R. On both speakers the sound is magical. The bass impact on the Proac had me in disbelief that a mere 15 watts could do that. Very impressive indeed. The Leben doesn’t g... | |
| The 70’s are back During the early 80’s I had a pair of L112’s with a B380 subwoofer. On the famous “for the time” 1812 overture, you could feel the breeze across the room emanating from the sub on the cannon shots. I still have fond memories of that system. I th... | |
| Going to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - any advice Take a pocket notebook. Log the rooms you like with the room number and exhibitor. Make a list of components on demonstration. Then write notes as to what aspects you liked or things that didn’t sound quite right.If you are contemplating speake... | |
| What internet stations are you donating to this year? Radio Paradise earned my dollars. Great station that’s turned me on to artists that I’d never heard of. | |
| What components might I check into that have a small foot print? Harv, I am 63 also. No wife or kids either. I never had internet until I retired in November of last year. I added it through my cable tv provider. I started with an iPad which has been easy to learn and mostly fun to play around with. I also ... | |
| What components might I check into that have a small foot print? My recommendation is to ditch the CD player completely. Replace it with a Bluesound Vault 2. It measures approximately 8x8x4. Copy all your CD’s to the Bluesound which is simple with the built in drive. Selection, internet radio, streaming, an... | |
| Help with kef r900 issue I listened to your Mary Chapin Carpenter cut last night. The speakers in situ at my summer home have aluminum dome teeters and I didn’t hear any nasty noises, but I will say that it is one bright recording.A speaker with a silk dome tweeter would... | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 A square room will present a challenge due to bass modes. Maybe look for a speaker with powered adjustable bass eq. Another option besides the Hegel would be one of the Lyngdorf amps. They seem to have a lot of favorable mention. The speaker s... | |
| Recommendations Amp, DAC for Kef R900 Maritime51, So was the problem with your KEF’s not the speakers after all? This new amp fixed your speaker complaint. Component matching isn’t always simple. | |
| Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive Well now elevick, I didn’t know that. I have a Chord Hugo at my winter house so I’ll try that out. I suppose then, I could also stream Radio Paradise via iPhone or iPad to the Hugo? |
