| Jazz for aficionados You and I went to different churches, @frogman . 😇 | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 @mbolek Hm, sorry to hear that. With so few of them in use so far, it's probably hard to say if it was a faulty unit or a design flaw (or something else). Were you using ethernet, or WiFi? | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 @fuzztone Oh, I see. I know of no reason one wouldn't be able to play tracks one owns, without needing internet access. The RS250 is on the local network, the files are on the local network (or attached directly to the 250). The software on the... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 Hi, @chorus . This is the less expensive one. The more expensive one is the RS150. The numbering seems to throw a lot of people off; it's backwards from what one would expect. And yes, it is an attractive little box. Heavy for its size, too. ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 @fuzztone Yes. There wasn't an option on the market with the features I wanted, at a price I could live with, that didn't have an internal DAC. I also paid for a DAC in my preamp that I'll no longer be using when the Pontus arrives. That's how ... | |

| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! @astolfor The Canterburys are too large for my space, and too heavy to be practical for a man with a bad back. I'm not even actually considering upgrading to the Kensingtons right now. I was only having a bit of fun about them. I just dropped s... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! That all makes good sense. Great stuff. Only problem is now I want to upgrade to Kensingtons! lol I have some kind of romantic attachment to alnico magnets. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Interesting. Sintering came up in a different context, recently. I'm thinking about getting a new cartridge. One of the ones I'm looking at is the E.A.T. Jo No. 5. The body of that cart is made by laser sintering some kind of powdered organic c... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I'll be darned. You sent me back to look at the manual. Sure enough, it says the magnets are barium ferrite. Dunno if that's the same thing you're calling "ceramic," but it certainly is not alnico. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Interesting. I thought all the Prestige GR models used alnico magnets. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Ick. Sorry to hear about the COVID. Glad you're back on your feet. That's a shame they sold your Tannoys already. I guess I missed that you had traded them in. I thought you were doing a side-by-side comparison with the monitors and were goin... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Thanks, @mulveling ! I thought about ordering a pair of mono SETs, which gives you 6wpc instead of 2.3, but in the end decided I’d prefer something with a bit more juice. I knew some of you guys said you ran into problems with lower wattage amps,... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Well, I went and did it. I'm now on the list at Decware to get a Zen Torii Mk. V. (I'm guessing it'll be a year, at least, before I actually get it.) If you're not familiar, the Torii is a zero-feedback, push-pull circuit designed to behave -- ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since we seem to be on the topic anyway: 5 favorite jazz guitarists? I'd go with: Wes Montgomery Jim Hall Bill Frisell Grant Green Kenny Burrell (?) I put the question mark on Burrell because I think my 5th slot is pretty variable. Thos... |
