| Nucleus, is there a better alternative? Lps on nucleus, FMC with lps, better ethernet cable could all be worthwhile. Since you're only using Nucleus as server, no rendering, not as critical to streaming as it would be otherwise. Antipodes K41 would be my choice for upgraded server only. | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I've tried battery power on previous dac and various streaming component lps. Limitations include inverter and just general parts quality of these devices. Versus my BPT 3.5 Sig isolated transformer pc, battery power had darker more veiled sound ... | |
| Turn an Intel macmini into a music server I've now used three iterations of mini as servers. You mention having no budget which leaves lps out of the question, this will be greatest limitation of using a mini. I could provide much info, but you may really be better off with raspberry.... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito Certainly Mofi didn't disclose info, but has sound quality suddenly diminished since the revelation? No, so what's the big deal if sound quality is value proposition here, only diminished value due to anti digital beliefs. On the other hand ca... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @mitch2 Perhaps huge and amazing may be over exuberance over an initial, formerly unheard difference, sure many of us have been here. In going back in my mind over all streaming changes since my initial foray some seven, eight years back, ther... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? The environment we live in and/or audio system set up in so full of rfi, only going to get worse over time. In urban area, multi residential building may be impossible for some to avoid this problem with vinyl setup. | |
| What I really hate about some music When it comes to repetitious songs, Beatles, Hey Jude, first to come to mind, love the Beatles but that song has to be one of the most bothersome! Back in the day, when FM and vinyl only choices for listening had to put up with many bothersome... | |
| OMG. What now? You haven't reached the end of audiophile dilemma if you're still questioning what ifs. The problem is the old known unknowns conundrum, just have to quit this drug to get off perpetual hamster wheel. Vast majority of dacs will benefit from ac... | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me @missioncoonery Based on my observations you're in a small minority, vast majority claim PP always on buyer's side. As others have mentioned and experienced, no real forensics undertaken by PP, most disputes resolved by algorithms. I suppose I... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @guakus That is indeed rather interesting geometry, generally you find silver clad copper in most cabling combining silver and copper. I've long been interested in cable with novel ways of using various metals, Siltech is another company that mixe... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @charles1dad I too am interested in what a silver wire PC would bring to table, report back on your findings. | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me He didn't take too long to file by the book, the delay only brings other possible issues into play. I'd also continue to pursue a better outcome, a local tech would have been my first choice right from beginning. But then this wouldn't be prio... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @charles1dad Never occurred to me silver PC would be a voicing I'd seek, YMMV per usual. For me, keeping silver and copper in good balance has been key, spot on for the last few years. One adjustment made with pc's in just the past couple mont... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @tksteingraber Sounds good, your results what I'd expect. Just a reminder, power cables on lps and ac feed, power conditioner will also help. Lps and same upgrades on other FMC will also help, although to lesser degree. Even the dc cables (fro... | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me Well, we're all on your side, all sounds reasonable to us. But paypal and/or person you purchased from not us. Your entire story could just be a story as far as they know. I'd be just like Carlsbad if someone waited 14 days to tell me something I ... |
