| Records and CDs @rvpiano +1 on the Blue Note label. My Herbie Hancock album that I used to AB vinyl to streaming was the Blue Note version. Great pressing. | |
| Records and CDs @audioguy85 Great minds think alike. 😎 | |
| Records and CDs @rvpiano Thank you, good post. There are many variables. @benanders You are correct, Apple to Apple comparisons are difficult. Most of my albums are from the 60’s & 70’s. The remastered albums tend to be inferior and quality pressings can... | |
| Records and CDs Interesting observation on my streamer. The N150 is a current model that sells for $3,500. Between my streamer and DAC, I spent over $5,000. My analog side was just over $4,000 & in my mind superior. So you are recommending I move to a streame... | |
| Records and CDs I seem to be in minority here, so decided to A/B. Playing Herbie Hancock Takin’ Off, both Qobuz streaming (24/192) and vinyl simultaneously. Analog side: Hana ML to Rega Aria. Digital side: Aurender N150 to Chord Qutest. Both sides playing thro... | |
| Records and CDs I still feel that vinyl is superior, even though I just upgraded my digital side. (Aurender & Chord). But the convenience of Qobuz digital is hard to beat. | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear GREAT post. Got a bunch of recommendations for music to listen to. Loved the thoughts of Simonmoon. Interesting some mentioned a good system would calm some recordings. I thought a good system would reveal recordings, with all it’s warts. For me,... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner Have one. Very happy with it! I also used their support one time. Very responsive. | |
| New streamer @oddiofyl I agree! Thanks | |
| New streamer @lalitk I bought it used. It was a trade in. | |
| New streamer @12many Very weird. I was unable to get the original receipt so asked Aurender to provide manufacture date. Just received this from them. “According to our database, your unit was shipped to the US on September 9th, 2022. Based on this shippin... | |
| New streamer Quick post on Aurender warranty transfer. While the warranty does transfer, unless the purchaser of the used Aurender can obtain the original sales receipt, the warranty start date is the date of manufacture. Per Aurender support: The warranty fo... | |
| New streamer @mclinnguy Interesting, I never knew about that. So once those are installed one wouldn’t need to turn up the volume in order to flatten out the curve, as typically humans have to in order to increase lower frequencies to the same level as midran... | |
| New streamer @audphile1 Thanks. As you know, 2 schools of thought on that. 2 dedicated lines provides separate power for digital vs analog or amps vs other. The potential downside is ground loops. I have only class D amps, both in my AVR and my 2 channel amp, ... | |
| New streamer One more thing… hearing aids. Many of us are getting up in age and our hearing is not what it once was. I bought very good hearing aids because of this ($6,000 Signia’s). Side benefit, it flattens your hearing across the musical spectrum. The audi... |
