[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Goose and OP - go to Upscale Audio’s website and run their review of the LUMIN T2 - about two thirds of the way thru he addresses the Ethernet cable issue - he states “for $25 we can sell you a cool box that connects to your router wirelessly but ... | |
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Spirit of radio and goose and OP - my streaming experience has been painless but I have a neighbor who is trying to do this ‘on the cheap’ and I have learned to avoid several errors:1 - do not go wireless - you lose quality fast.2 - trying to stre... | |
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Spirit of radio - thanks for the info on the Bluesound node 2i. I read a lot of these threads and see so many issues people have trying to stream. I guess I was just lucky when a stereo shop in Indy convinced me to go with LUMIN. It’s app runs gre... | |
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Here is my 2 cents - go buy a streamer and DAC in one unit - I did and I have been streaming with my LUMIN D1 for 5 years. Sound quality is over the Moon great - I use Tidal HiFi with MQA for $25 per month. Cost was $2,000 for the LUMIN D1. You ha... | |

CD Player vs. music streaming Faust168 - I have been running a LUMIN D 1 for 5 years (this is a streamer and DAC in one box). My source is Tidal HiFi with MQA. Cost is $25 per month. The LUMIN has to be hardwired via Ethernet to preform. I am very happy with the sound quality.... | |
Forever speakers around $5000 OP - $5,000 is a lot of money - here is my vote for a ‘forever’ speaker system. I have built this over the last years and it’s ability to satisfy my Listening Requirement is amazing - Maggie 1.7i ($2,200)with the Maggie Base Panel. ($800) I bi amp... | |
Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? Here is my 2 cents. I have been into audio since college -1972. Moved from EPI speakers to Magnepan in 1980 and I have stuck with Maggie’s ever since. They are still around and still innovating. Please give them a listen - their speakers cover a w... | |
OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. Everyone - here is another update on my quest for better sound - my Krell KAV 400 xi is now officially unrepairable- it did not pass Krell’s last Test before being shipped back to me (DC voltage drift that was not correctable). Sorry for the earli... | |

Spread Spectrum Technologies I added the Son of Ampzilla II to my main system 7 months ago. I am bi amping my Magnapan speakers ( 1.7i and Base Panel) with their own power via two amps. My other amp is an integrated amp - a Krell KAV 400xi. I feed the signal from the Krell pr... | |
