| New Tidal Plans and Changes Good post. I got the email, no login required. Didn't pay much attention to email, I'll downgrade and save myself some money. I too find myself using Qobuz much more than Tidal these days. The downgrade on Tidal will bring cost in line to my yearl... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Butthole Surfers post brings back memories of their debut ep Butthole Surfers. It was suggested to play at 69rpm. I used to play it at both 45 and 33rpm, think I preferred 33. Always recall perhaps my favorite line from a song, I smoke Elvis Presl... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling This is what I'd consider state of art streaming. Fiber network provider >fiber capable router or switch> fiber capable server> fiber capable streaming dac. Fiber op. conversion was easily one of the best upgrades to my network, audio... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided @surfcat Wow, what reactionary comments to my post, can't even discern my agreement that experienced may in fact be trusted advisors. I simply pointed out two local flippers I wouldn't trust giving me advice. Are you making the argument that all ... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? Kirtgunn mentioned engagement, yes, this was what hooked me on first listening to stock Klipschorns in my system. Part of this engagement for me was this uncanny sense of live performers in my room, something I'd not heard prior with the many spea... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided I can only give anecdotal evidence of a couple local to me flippers. One guy has probably five to ten each of nearly all main pieces of equipment in house at any one time. No room treatments, careless equipment placement, no AC upgrades. Last time... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? My issue with all in one server/dac/storage equipmet is it kind of defeats the whole idea of maximally quiet streaming setup. Adding internal noise and functions of dac and storage in server chassis is not optimum. With outboard dac, you have far... | |
| Days of Our Lives Couple of cornball songs. Come Saturday Morning, The Sandpipers, used in Sterile Cuckoo movie with Liza Minnelli Sunday Will Never Be the Same, Spanky & Our Gang | |
| Karen Dalton: In My Own Time - Documentary Heard about her some time ago. I like old timey music, but I couldn't get past her voice. | |
| Does ethernet switch quality matter when using fiber connection? My recent experience with an audiophile switch disappointing. I have no filtering of any kind prior to router, Audioquest Vodka feeding router from modem and router to server. LPS on router. All my network optimization is post server. Over time I ... | |

| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport This designed by same guys designed Phillips Pro transport back in the day, I do miss my Mark Levinson No. 37., Never found satisfactory replacement for transport after it died, motivation to go to streaming exclusively. Anyway, I believe all the ... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling Based on my experience the Cat 6 cable will always be your weak link. I've found using inferior ethernet in front of high quality ethernet cable negatively impacts sound quality. I run a longer coax cable to eliminate the need for long runs of exp... | |
| Changing 100uf cap With those values, worthwhile improvements will be out of this world price and massive size would require outboard crossover. Keep what you have. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have Singxer SU6, usb to I2S converter, supercapacitor power supply, configurable pins so works with all dacs. I've had this thing from beginning of my ownership of 005, still yet to try as usb in on 005 sounds great so no motivation. I see ... |
