| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node 2i If you think the only thing that matters is the actual conversion chipset, you have a lot to learn. | |
| Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp So, I come to your house with $100,000 worth of cables, give you the spiel of how great they are, backed up by all the “white papers” all presented in exotic hardwood boxes, you are impressed. While I’m there, I’ll disparage all the cables you cu... | |
| Loose fitting Audio Quest Yukon XLR I auditioned the WEL XLR’s in my big system. The lack of the normal locks on the XLR’s bothered me. They fit reasonably secure but why delete the locking feature? Sound wise they didn’t do it in my system.Audioquest likely has a reason for desi... | |
| Adcom 555se on a smart strip? Fuzztone, Class D is 90% + efficient while playing. So if your consumption is only 29w when perceived as loud, the output to the speakers is probably around 25w. That’s a very friendly setup on your electric bill. | |
| Adcom 555se on a smart strip? I looked up the specs for the Adcom 555se and it is specified at consuming 72w at idle. So depending on frugality, you could leave it powered on continuously.By comparison, my W4S ST500 consumes 28w at idle. I leave it powered on all the time. ... | |
| Need speaker advice It’s not all about efficiency. A high and relatively stable impedance is also very important. Proacs are not rated that high in efficiency but play well with low power amps. The Cary 300 SEI always sounded great with 1SC’s. Your near field lis... | |
| Do I expect too much? Follow the manufacture/distributors recommendation. Do not over-tighten. I would not use any thread lock either. Seriously, you’re trying to over-think a simple operation. | |
| Pass Labs xa30.8 died Just curious, did you check the outlet for power? | |
| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver Try it both ways. You get to decide. | |
| Dr Feickert Protractor Just buy a complete set from Harbor Freight. They are inexpensive and your customer will find the one that fits. BTW, I doubt one could even purchase just a single Allen key. | |
| One Channel Down in Preamp Help I’ve had great service from Manley. Give them a call. Maybe your buddy is a pr**k. | |
| Rca cable with wbt connector or other connector that fits chord hugo 2 I will add to my reply that I have several cables with WBT RCA’s and they don’t fit the Hugo. I don’t know how many different RCA terminations WBT offers, but I can say unequivocally that the ones I have don’t fit without removing the barrels. | |
| Rca cable with wbt connector or other connector that fits chord hugo 2 The problem is the small cutouts in the housing to fit terminations with fancy oversized RCA plugs. I can’t say if any WBT will fit. However, I can say that Eichman which I believe is now branded KLE, fits perfectly. I use Morrow Audio MA3 with... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners Kgveteran, you may want to try this tweek in Tidal for serious listening sessions. There is a feature labeled “Loudness Normalization “. The purpose of said feature is to maintain the same volume output from the different recordings on a Playlis... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I have a Vault 2, a Node 2i, and a Pulse Flex 2i. I use an iPad for control. I have no problems in two different residences. All but the Vault are set up wireless. I run the updates when notified. I have no complaints with the BluOS app. |
