| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? +1 on the Kef 105’s. Way back in the late 70’s. I worked in a hi fi store to pay for college expenses. One of the guys hooked up a new pair of 105’s, sat me down and said listen to this. He put on “the firebird “ by Stravinsky and wow!!! These spe... | |
| E-bay and its sellers I find sometimes I can sleep standing up. However, naps are for the couch. All this fun conversation makes me tired. Where’s the couch? I had a horse once, he could sleep standing up, especially when I was riding him!! He was a retired race hors... | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? Not audio related, but thought I would add. I once hooked up the outdoor Christmas lights at my employers shop into the 220 plug by accident (only plug there). Turned on, wow, nuclear dawn!!! You could read a newspaper 100 yards away!!! The boss ... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Funny now, not then. I once had the right front wheel break off while driving home from work!!! 69 mgb. I had no brakes, but I found that if I leaned over to the left it balanced out the car so I could drive on 3 wheels. Got home and found out whe... | |
| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! I just got my node setup yesterday. Had a lot of problems initially and with the help of their it persons got it working great. No problems with the sound yet. I did buy the unit used from another individual, so I don’t know if there were problems... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Oh, I forgot to mention, I have to get back to my second hobby. Working on older and classic cars. I’m restoring (for the second time) a 69 mg midget, and a 08 Saab 9-5. Also on my wife’s 02 Mini Cooper. I need a bigger garage!!! Anyone out the... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Thanks for the suggestions. Qobuz is on the list to try. The Cambridge streamer was under consideration, but for a first was a little out of the budget. I liked the display and features very much. Perhaps for the replacement when the itch happens ... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy To all who helped me. Thanks. I’m finally streaming. Got a hold of a Bluesound node2 with the power upgrade and after a great deal of cursing and rewiring. I got it up and running. Sounds great thru my bifrost Dac. Trying out with the Amazon music... | |
| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara Thanks mike in nc. The led dots are a great suggestion. I had no idea these existed. Much better than a piece of cardboard or electrical tape. Already ordered. That’s why I like this forum . Always learn something new and useful. | |
| How do you organize all this turntable paraphernalia?? +1 the Subaru, we are on our second outback and wouldn’t own anything else. Love my other cars (have 4). But drive the sube the most. I to have the same problem with all the odds and ends of this audio hobby. Currently undergoing renovations on... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Just an update, I’m looking for a Bluesound node at a reasonable price used. Other option is audiolab 6000n. I found out that my wife’s Apple TV can stream tidal and Spotify and apple tunes. I have been playing around with this. I haven’t subscrib... | |
| Is this a scam? Beware, this is a classic scam. It is not about the product to be purchased. It is about a “refund “ of the deposit. The deposit funds are not valid. The “buyer “ will either someone to pick up the item before payment is made, or with false paymen... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy I don’t intend to sell my vinyl collection. Many of the lp’s are no longer available and can’t be replaced. I have an extensive collection of mobile fidelity masters, direct to disc, gayle and more. Many of them are still factory sealed. My local ... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy To all who choose to be hostile towards me for asking a simple question. Read the question!!!! Don’t try to sell me your idea of what you have. I did not say I couldn’t AFFORD a blue note, nor was I soliciting upgrades to my electronics. I don’t t... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Finally, I’ll play with Apple TV today. Also the suggestion about the laptop and Dac combination might work for a trial. My asus rig laptop has a great audio card. My schist bifrost should be here today, replacing my pop pulse Dac. Great suggestio... |
