| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? It started over 35 years ago. Had little money, so I would work to earn enough to buy the highest ranked equipment in Stereophile that I could afford. Mostly class C, maybe B. I had three boys and the house was too noisy for any serious listenin... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh I have boxes of dvds and blu ray discs. I have a Sony blu ray player that I mostly use to play music videos in surround sound. I have a Pioneer Elite dvd player sitting in a box as a backup, but it doesn't do blu ray. I might watch for a deal... | |

| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I would call Doug Dale with Coda. Tell him what you have for gear. You should also think about your long term plan. Will you ever change speakers? For my Von Schweikert Endeavor RE speakers, Doug recommended the No 8, V1. That's what I bought... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? I'm around 12% based on what I paid. At normal retail for new, it would be higher. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @simonmoon +1 for Riverside. I play them a lot... You might give RPWL a try if you haven't heard them. I'm old enough that I was around when some of the great albums were released. I spent most of my money on music. Van Halen debut is probably t... | |
| Bluesound Node to Cambridge CXA-60 issue @oddiofyl Thank you. I'll look into it. | |
| Optimize or buy new gear..? I've upgraded components and then felt justified in spending more on cables. The cables have made a difference. I have not gone back and tried the old components with the new cables, but I have wondered about it. The new equipment was better t... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lanx0003 thank you for the reply. At least initially, my son will use it as a streamer with a headphone amp. I think the Wiim has a headphone jack, but his headphone amp is probably better. He's new to streamers, so it should be fun for him. ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Riverside - Second Life Syndrome. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lanx0003 What was your opinion of the Wiim Ultra? I snagged one on a black Friday deal. It's for my son for Christmas. I was impressed by the size and weight of the box (I haven't opened it). I expected something much smaller and lighter. | |
| Tinnitus Interesting. I don’t sleep worth a crap. I’ve had my hearing tested and it’s good, but my ears ring throughout the day on most days. | |
| The rat’s nest of cabling. Large transformers in components. My discovery. I'm waiting on delivery of a new rack. It's large enough to hold all of my gear and I bought extra shelves so I won't have to stack any components. And I bought large casters for it so I can pull the rack out to connect everything and do a bette... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? "The Ghost of Childhood" album by October Project. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @dxbwineguy Thank you for the description I'm terrible about describing the sound of my system. I'm often inclined to say "it just sounds right", but that's not a very good description. I have an Innuos streamer that I like. SQ is excellent a... |
