| To Roon or not to Roon? Another plus for Roon, integration with Tidal, Qobuz, embedded HQPlayer if so inclined, great graphics, information about artists, playlists, saved personal playlists, Roon radio, excellent sound quality, I could go on and on. Vast majority of... | |
| Roon confusion And for those wanting to use the embedded HQPlayer within Roon, many servers out there don't have the processing power to run higher level dsp of HQPlayer. Keep this in mind if going in this direction, Intel I7 is generally minimum for this. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? @pesky_wabbit I very much doubt the Z foils will deliver what OP desires in this particular case, reason I suggested Takman carbon films over Z foil. And my suggestions not based on pure speculation as you speculate in regard to my experience. I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Coincidence or causation for 005 and ET? Isn't there protection circuit on ET? You'd think that would trip prior to house breaker. In any case looks like that pc malfunctioning. I've had my BPT for nearly twenty years without a single problem. ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Ultra Lounge, 'Space Capades,' from the Ultra Lounge set of releases, all what's known as bachelor pad music from the 60's. This well recorded material as it was produced with the idea it would play on bachelor's high end stereo systems in the bac... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Takman's take on induced noise makes sense with the naked Vishay, but then, induced noise would predict lower transparency, resolution. I believe pretty universal experience TX2575 highest resolving, transparent resistor. Issue with these, wattage... | |
| Problem with one channel going out..... This is why I document all troubleshooting on paper, easy to go in circles when you forget prior moves. | |
| The problem with streaming I have both cd's and streams recorded from lp's, all are from obscure artists from 60's and 70's. I get it that one would want to keep vinyl setup to play releases not available in any other format or rare pressing. I have both in my now over... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wig Not sure this has any bearing on present day tube dacs, but back in the day I had Audio Logic 24MXL. Also had Perpetual Technologies dac setup modded to the hilt. AL suffered greatly in comparison, perhaps unfairly biased against tube dacs to... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Now, the best resistors I've used are the Texas Component TX2575 (Vishay z foil). For transparency and resolving powers none better. | |
| 12v linear power supply I always over spec my lps, less stressed, better reliability. So, you need 2amp, I'd get lps that could supply at least 4amp. I see too many posts of poor experience with lps, always because people purchasing lps that can only maximally supply nee... | |
| Linear power supply for a router I always over spec my lps,less stressed, greater reliability. I'd get lps that could supply at least 7amp, even more is better. This will be powered 24/7 so don't cheap out. I use lps on my router, worth it for me to the point adding audiophile s... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Not quite steaming, but cd rip played over my network. Horslips, 'Happy to meet, sorry to part.' Haven't listened to in longest time, I suppose I could describe as psychedelic celtic, forgot how unique and interesting this band was! | |
| The problem with streaming The title of this thread is the problem, I'd never begin a thread with the "problem with vinyl." There is no problem with vinyl and there is no problem with streaming, I enjoy both for all the reasons given above. Why do we always have to battle b... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming When doing the cheap fiber mod, using stock wall warts isn't extracting full value of mod. LPS on second fmc is next step, I found lps on first fmc also helps just a bit. With ethernet solutions, cable quality matters. |
