| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... Thank you, as well, @rtilden... Since I'm not familiar with the Weiss 501, I looked it up and found there are certainly a lot of very satisfied consumers and reviewers. I'm guessing you're on a level of audio bliss that words are hard to come by i... | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... I've had quite a few hours with the LHY psu and I can report back that it's a considerable improvement to my ears. Wider soundstage and clarity. Also did an easily switchable A-B test between two node 130s running through my SLI-80. The non-LHY wa... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? I hope I've understood your predicament... when I "digitize" my records I go from turntable to "USB PhonoPlus" by ART, then into pc via USB cable. Music is captured by Adobe Audition - but you can get Audacity for free to do virtually the same thi... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles My best goodbye, while heading out the door, I've ever heard is... "Hey, don't let your meat loaf". I don't know why that seems soooo darn funny, but it is. | |
| Verum 2 - dac/amps, cable recommendations Thanks Gents! I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the Hifiman EF400. Great reviews on it and I'm sure it will be a good first step on the upgrade-itis ladder most of us climb! | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. 1st time ever in my life scoring 100 percent on a survey! Read this with what is surely intended to be humorous... and, yes, it was laughingly like looking in the mirror. Loved some of those pics, as well. Helpful reminder to keep music enjoyment ... | |
| F-XLR to M-RCA recommendations Thank you all for your suggestions! Definitely food for thought on compatibility, etc. Fwiw, the Laiv uDac doesn't have RCA outs and it was suggested to use XLR to RCA cables by one of the posters on Laiv's comment section - that was my only frame... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu From personal experience, can only comment about the Ohm 2000s... they're in my secondary system(living room tv center - using both stereo and 5.1). They sound amazing driven by Primaluna HP Integrated with AntiCables. Also, location-wise, they're... | |

| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... @bassbuyer Excellent point about my max budget earlier... I would say $2.5k, and have seen a used Aurender N150 for sale on the 'Gon from what looks to be from a reputable hifi store. I have also looked at Innuos too - it is definitely worth co... | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... Thanks for all your suggestions and options. I think I've narrowed down my future streamer within the Aurender line - based on your experiences and positive critiques. Since I have two Node130s, a Vault at work, and the extra cash I will give one ... | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... Thanks for the feedback, y'all... have my main, 2 channel listening system, posted now with relevant pics. I believe your testimonies answer the question of whether or not the PSU upgrade improves the sound regardless of external DAC input. I, to... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Visit The Audio Connection in the U-district... John should be able to accommodate you. He carries Monitor Audio - which I find to be very non-fatiguing, although I ended up getting a pair of Chapman T-7s from him a couple years ago. | |
| Crackle and hiss on some albums Fwiw, I purchased two new records a couple weeks back and both were cleaned in the same exact manner(as I do with all new albums). One - Rush's "Exit... Stage Left" and Neil Diamond's "Hot August Nights" (a gift for my wife that she was very anxio... | |
