| Streaming, Optimization and compromises Scenarios you've laid out are good, exactly what I'm looking for with simplified nearly all fiber setup. Yes, I have complex setup, something like ten steps just to get system up and running. Sounds good as is, assume potential for so much mor... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Who manufacturers the EAT. I suspect they farm that out just as Audio Note does to Psvane. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption This new type of Christianity I see practiced today is certainly used as shield and sword of righteousness. This idea of personal god so hilarious. The one that always gets me is when one of these natural disasters hits, the survivor states god wa... | |
| Streaming, Optimization and compromises I've thought much about entire stream chain. I don't have fiber internet provider, so I run modem relatively close to system, ie longer coax vs. ethernet cable. So short AQ Vodka from modem to router, router w/lps short run aq vodka to router and ... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Usb taken off motherboard is terrible way to stream, better is optimized usb out, this means separate card and power supply such as Jcat. Best is ethernet out, many high end servers don't have. Ethernet out allows post server fiber conversion and ... | |
| burn in - how important? Experiencing this at very moment with Psvane Acme 300B, just starting to open up around 75 hours. Amps and speakers the biggest hassle as you actually have to pass signal which means having music going many hours of day, and not with intention of ... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Pure Audio Project open baffle long been of interest to me. Heard some Spatial X3 a bit ago, very nice. I really like Volti line, I use Greg's tractrix horns on my extreme modded Klipschorns, big upgrade from stock exponentials. | |
| What'd You Get For Xmas? Takman rex resistors and Audio Note Sieryu capacitors for my linestage. | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I'm with AC and room as foundation. Of choice Ted gave, power cable>speaker cable>digital/IC> fuse | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I meant questions for all on thread. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @mahgister You are well read and make many good points, but spirit doesn't come solely from books and philosophers. Spirit is lived, it is personal experience. I heard much spirit in music I listened to last night, Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variatio... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Based on melm's investigation that dac may be overpriced. With more acceptance of Chinese forays into higher end audio we may see more new Chinese products come onto market at inflated prices in order to maximize profit margins. Price doesn't alwa... | |
| Are tubes psychological? Well, I like the glow of all my tubes, exception of 845. I like blacked out listening room, 845 ruins that vibe. As a result, had to purchase 845 special edition with black glass, now I can enjoy just like 300b amps. | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Yes, materials and design. Over the past few months I've experienced four different 101D tubes in my Coincident Statement MkII pre, one mesh plate, three solid plate, mesh plate and one solid plate use a bit of gold plating in tube structure, one... | |
| Streaming, Optimization and compromises @sbank In regard fiber cable, that was my understanding as well. I have considered everything post modem, the only things we have control over in thinking about optimization of streaming. I did try an audiophile switch between router and server/NA... |
