| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? @antigrunge2 I know you greatly appreciate Peking Opera per the multiple emails we exchanged a few days ago - I really didn’t know how passionate and knowledgeable you were (impressed!). As you already know, but others may not, I’ve really leaned ... | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? Came across the following from a member at WBF: Last year I purchased a Lumin U2 mini streamer which was a nice improvement over my Sonore OpticalRendu. It had better resolution which increased musical tactibility. Added a SBooster MKII linear P... | |
| Streamers with tube output stage? Gosh. I don’t think this exist (yet). | |
| All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp OP, it seems like you have some good questions. I found the C658 thread on StereoNet to be the most informative and helpful. You may have to register as a new user since there’s a page limit if not logged in. If wanting to stay with the all-in-one... | |
| All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp Agree with Kota, DIRAC would probably have a big impact, in addition to being an all-in-one, as well as having two sub outputs. Because of your circumstance and needs, I would consider the C658 to be an upgrade from the Node. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @czarivey you made my day then. Gang Starr was Guru and DJ Premier. Agree that Guru’s Jazzmatazz albums were solid throughout. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? All Arts Matter RIP Guru @czarivey are you referencing Guru from Gang Starr??? If yes, this would be next level on Audiogon my friend. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I also find it very interesting that people think they can control for things they have no understanding of, like bias control, one of the hardest things to control for and physiologists are involved in real trials to design the control protocol ... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Someone with more knowledge will hopefully provide a suggestion in regards to the FMCs. Ironically, I did a deep dive on optical last night. I found threads from WhatsBestForum (here, here, and here) pretty helpful, as well as some from Audiophile... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Are the Finisar SFPs compatible with the 10Gtek FMCs? Looks like 10Gtek is Cisco compatible. Finisar isn't compatible with Cisco, though, so that may be the issue. I don't think 10Gtek is compatible with both Cisco and Finisar. | |
| NAD C658 With Tube Power Amp? I have the C658 matched with a tube amp. Maybe the first six months I would say it sounded a little too clinical for my liking. Nowadays, I would say it leans very slightly warm, but definitely not tube-like. DIRAC full license is a game changer t... | |
| Being alone with your music There's this stigma of isolation and "anti-social" associated with this hobby that I think may be a little superficial at surface level - think the one chair in a listening room and some of the judgment statements that are made. For some of us, th... | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! I had a friend who auditioned speakers for a year with me for a year. I finally settled for Paradigm Prestige speakers. I didn’t know at the time they were 2 1/2 way. Four weeks later this friend attacked an article from Stereophile Magazine e... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @yyzsantabarbara I agree with creativepart and oddiofyl, that would be really unwise of you if you were to take out a 401k loan ;) | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. @stuartk +1 Rob Fritz seems genuinely nice. I’d probably purchase more of his cables - even if they didn’t sound nice (they sound great btw), simply out of principle of him seeming to be a solid guy. |
