| What is the current equivalent to the Logitech streamers? The Bluesound Node 2 is excellent. It sounds great, the BluOS is very good and it's also a good looking component. I love mine.Cheers,Scott | |

| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 @joey_v Your not stuck. Chances are you'll be very happy how well that RA1592 works with your SFs. Whats great is if it doesn't work out you'll be able to return it to Magnolias with no hassles.So Magnolia still sells Rotel? It was a Design Center... | |

With the power that the 6 has I bet you have really good idea of the MF sound.I really enjoyed the 5. I can imagine that the 6 is excellent.Yeah, you'll have to find a lot of real estate on the floor i... | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 @joey_v I spent a couple more more hours with the RC/RB1590 set. My impression hasn’t changed. They are outstaning. If budget wasn’t a concern for me I would have ordered a set and been done. Period. Thanks for starting this post.I also spent abou... | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 @joey_v I'm looking into new amplification for our system and I spent a couple hours with the Rotel RC1590/RB1590 paired with the Rotel RCD1570, AudioQuest cabling and Bowers and Wilkins CM10 S2.In a nutshell, it was fantastic. To elaborate a bit... | |
| Bluesound Node2 @williewonka I have a direct connection of my router to my Node 2 by Ethernet cable. I plan to use a NAS in the future; when I do I thought I would connect the NAS to the to the router via Ethernet and the NAS to the Node 2 by Ethernet cable as we... | |
| WiFi System Upgrades @williewonka I'm afraid I'm not much help with comparisons. It's the only after-market cord I have used. Compared to the stock PC it is more refined and more quiet which gives more detail and resolution. I don't believe it changed the character or... | |
| WiFi System Upgrades Thanks for the reply, williewonka.I may have to get an adapter (didn't even consider an adapter until your reply, thanks) for the Node 2 and try a different power cord. I run a WireWorld Stratus on my amp and would like to upgrade that a bit in th... | |

| Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers viridian +2@djengan, in your budget I would also check out the Arcam FMJ 39 and the Parsound Halo Int. Good luck with your search.Cheers,Scott | |

| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? nadamp,Lots of good recommendations. I'll second the Golden Ear and Vandersteen suggestions. If you can, check out the Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2, one of the best values out there right now. I've lived with them for over a year, love them. Also, th... | |
| WiFi System Upgrades @williewonka "So my questions - do I have to re-index each time i start a listening session?"Forgot to answer your question; no, you do not have to re-index each time you start a listening session.One feature among many that I love about the Node ... | |
| WiFi System Upgrades @williewonka I had something similar happen last week; I updated to the latest firmware (2.8.3) and latest BluOS (2.8.0) and lost my library. I tried reindex and rebuild but couldn’t get it back. I won’t begin to speculate about what happened but ... |
