| Is Shindo now Tone Arts Laboratory? Do you have any links to Tone Arts Laboratory - I couldn’t find anything. It seemed like there was limited information about them ceasing production on their website (no mention if I remember). | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. Agree with all of the responses. I wouldn't force it either and would likely go with Sonos if that's what he wants - Sonos is pretty good at what it does and offers. At the same time, they have done a spectacular job helping people recognize their... | |
| Qobuz vs Airplay so for Apple Music, how does one listen to greater than 48 kHz on other than an Apple device? That’s the problem - you can’t. Apple is a closed ecosystem. It’s why you can’t access your Apple Music library on Roon and other music management/o... | |
| advice on hiding cables @livinon2wheels 100% agree with everything you said and in the same boat on multiple levels. Dedicated is nothing but a dream for many of us. | |
| advice on hiding cables a compromise to in-wall routing on Amazon. I was looking for something similar myself and ran across an add-on channel that runs along the baseboard. This sounds similar to what I did and somewhat visible between the speakers and credenza in m... | |
| Subwoofer for Klipsch Heresy If the system has a vintage vibe and aesthetics matter for the purpose of matching, the REL Classic 98 or 99 may fit the bill. Unsure what veneer your Heresy’s are (Birch, maybe?) since Klipsch appeared to offer multiple options for the first gene... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. So many variables and posts that I agree with in this thread. Vinyl had a resurgence which I’m sure captured a portion of the younger population. In correlation (not saying causation), older Marantz receivers prices went up exponentially over the ... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer @foggyus91 does the UltraRendu Plus accept Qobuz Connect, though? Maybe I missed it, but haven’t seen any confirmation. I will say that I could never maintain a stable connection with Spotify Connect and my opticalRendu. Also not the biggest fan ... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Unsure if I’ve always been an audiophile, but I’ve always been attracted to speakers. Starting working at Cineplex Odeon at 15 and the first thing I purchased before saving for a beat up car were these Cerwin Vega VS-120s connected to an old S... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. I find it difficult to believe that flagging a post automatically gets it deleted. Someone point me to a forum rule that states this is true. @ozzy62 you appear to be correct. As an experiment, I reported your post underneath “other” with exp... | |
| Network Switches A much better route is to treat noise at the source, Broadcom chipset vs Intel chipset in modem, disable wifi on router, emi-rfi contamination, power both via lps Agree with @sns as a good first step prior to diving into FMCs and switches. ... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Long story short, increasing the gain on the back of the ZRock3 increased the static/buzz while connected to the SE84UFO. I also tried this with my Pass Labs XA-25 with similar results. I could turn the gain down, but now I was turning up the v... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Agree with so many posters on this thread. There’s definitely overlap and no surprise that there’s connections between espresso and audio, especially when we look at the amount of variables (conical vs flat burr, light roast vs dark roast, Hx vs s... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Agree with@photomax: The number one mistake I see folks new to espresso is the focus on the actual espresso machine. The real deliberated focus needs to be on the grinder. A few years ago home baristas upgraded to expensive grinders that were de... | |
| Mike's Barn. Throughout the years I’ve frequented this virtual system countless amounts of time, and always appreciated this member’s contributions. If I still lived in Western Washington, I would have loved visiting his barn. I can’t say that I would have d... |
