| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... I chose to go with XA after hemming and hawing with cartridge choice over a couple years, this decision included cartridges at prices up to $5k. Based on that research never saw a single dismissive review of it, many claim it competitive with just... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? @stereo5 Not my experience with mac minis, I used hdd and ssd via sata drives and PCIe ssd in various extremely modded minis, sound quality definitely impacted. I'd expect same in Windows computer. My present Windows custom build streamer runs OS... | |

Anyone can check on their modem quality via various modem rating services on web, Getting modem and router close to system was impressive... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? I suspect many won't take you seriously with idea of using your computer as high quality streaming source. I ran various modified mac minis for years and presently use Windows based custom build at present. While my custom build has virtually ... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System More thoughts in regard to complexity of streaming systems. Streaming is likely the most inherently complex source we have, even vinyl pales somewhat in comparison. We necessarily have to deal with networks, this means ISP, modems, routers, cablin... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Charles, my router is router only unit, and yes, close to audio system.

| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) So funny, some believe streaming charges excessively, and having to put up with deleted music makes it total ripoff. Others state doesn't charge near enough, rips off artists. Which is it, are the consumers ripped off or is it the artists. If ... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house. Exactly why streaming is rightfully first class source for both sound quality and convenience, AND for discovering music to purchase or download, streaming can cover every possible need.

| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house. It does happen, seems like I've always been able find another release by same artist that contains the songs from deleted release. I've wondered why this happens, doubt it's artist or label caused since you can find the replacements. And hey, ... | |
| To all forum friends ,,,, Happy New Year as we usher out 2022 & welcome in a brighter 2023 The peeps don't celebrate New Years as in the olden days of yore. Used to be major celebration day, all the bars full of crazies, recall having to make reservations weeks in advance. And this in time when I was often traveling during holidays, so... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bikeboy52 I too am amazed at how some of the low margin, meaning relatively lower or sanely priced manufacturers stay in business. They need to move quantity in order to survive, can't figure out how you move quantity with audiophiles being such ... | |
