| Streaming the Bluesound Node 2i does NOT need to be hardwired to the router, but can get a WiFi signal on its own, and then be interconnected to my preamp? Yes. If you have a good wifi signal at your stereo it will play hi-res just fine over wifi. A wired ... | |
| Streaming jw, The music comes in through your internet connection. For most people that is wifi these days. You connect a streamer to your wifi modem (router) wirelessly (wifi) or wired (ethernet cable, Cat 6 or 7 whatever they’re up to today). You then sen... | |
| My SPL meter shows ambient/background noise of about 41.x dB. Is that average, hi or low? The free Android Sound Meter I have can be calibrated. I go into my walk-in closet and set it for 20 - 25db in that environment. The closet works pretty well because it's isolated from things like the frig and my noisy DVR and the clothes act li... | |
| Berlin Philharmonic- Digital Concert Hall - Free ! Great news. Thanks for this! | |
| Window shoppers!! I hate them!! Just be happy they don't hit the Buy It Now button and then back out. | |
| Why is There Not More Consolidation in Audio? There are always a lot of high-end audio companies disappearing or being bought by other companies. What I find amazing is how many new companies spring up to take their place.It can’t be easy or inexpensive to bring a new high-end product to mark... | |
| Happy Scale IMO, newer systems sound better than older systems (1970s), by a pretty large margin. However, some of the most enjoyable music I’ve listened to came out of an AM radio with a cracked speaker. I can’t be 20 years old and hanging out with my girlfr... | |
| If I can't afford a new Conrad Johnson pre amp... I think that conrad-johnson had a reputation of a warm, golden sound in years past. Their more recent preamps have a more neutral sound as many other tube preamps have also become more neutral. The warm, colored sound has gone out of favor for ... | |
| Cassettes still rock! mofi, sounds like you've got a new Mercedes or Lexus sitting in your closet. | |
| Tried a new product to highly polished speaker surface Thanks for the tip. It's almost impossible to keep swirls out of high gloss finishes. I'll try to remember PlastX. | |
| Tube Rolling the Jolida/Black Ice dsd Dac I don't own a Jolida but I'll give you a bump here. I wouldn't worry about having to turn up the volume on your pre. As long as you can play your music loud enough you're OK.You could try a pair of Siemens. They're similar to Teles, but you may... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp owners Scot, I think their forums are active, but not very active. Since their amps and preamps have been around a while now there's not a lot of people asking and commenting on them.I know when they switched over to their new forum format they deleted... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp owners I think you should just call PS Audio. They are happy to answer questions and they've probably gotten this one before. | |
| How do I get the "most" out of a speakers that are rated for 12 ohms? Your speakers are designed to be used with low power amps. You should talk to Ralph (atmasphere) for suggestions. Ralph will say that your speakers are medium easy to drive (high impedance) and efficient (sensitivity), though. Ralph says that a... | |
| Artist you now like that you discovered through your streaming service +1 on Lynne Arriale, mitch4t. I'm always surprised that this jazz pianist is not more well known. |
