| Help with streamer software @markmuse I just don't know that I am going to get any better than what the N20 delivers, so that is my biggest reason for the pause. I did try to A-B the difference in the sound by comparing the internal storage on the N20 to streaming Qobuz t... | |
| Help with streamer software @markmuse I do have the PS Audio MK2 DAC, that is the only reason I am even considering the purchase. I would be able to finally use the i2s connection with this thing, according to Paul that does wonders for the sound. The only thing in my syst... | |
| Help with streamer software @markmuse I have been considering the purchase of the AirLens also just for streaming Qobuz. I just recently added an Aurender N20 to my system that will also stream Qobuz, so I am not convinced that the AirLens would be a step up as far as sound... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I added a Swiss Digital Fuse Box to my Aurender N20 about a week ago. I didn't think this would do much for the sound of an already awesome sounding product, but the fuse box kicked the sound up a notch. Blows my mind what these little devices d... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! I started out with a Cocktail Audio X45 streamer. I ripped all my CD's to an internal hard drive and it sounded pretty good, at least as good as my cd player. I finally upgraded that to an Auralic Aries G2.1 and it blew away the X45, so I can te... | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I have owned Sopra 2's for 3 years and have never found them to be bright at all, they sound natural to me, especially with voices. I may be able to chalk that up to old age though, lol. I am driving them with all PS Audio gear except for the st... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @tylermunns you are so right about Willie, he is a national treasure as far as I am concerned. Like you, I think he is underrated, maybe more that a tad. | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @rpeluso it is absolutely a Willie song, if not for him the song would have never been written, I love his version of the song as much as I do Patsy's. I just mentioned her because when I hear the song my mind goes immediately to the movie of her... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @rpeluso I think Willie actually wrote the song, Patsy Cline then did a version of the song that is killer. | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @mijostyn I am certainly not good enough with a rotary polisher to use that on my speakers, if you don't know what you are doing with one of those you can burn clean through the paint. I don't need anything like the CQ Quartz because my speakers ... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie You guys have some nice lists, I will be wearing Qobuz out trying to find some of these. Thanks for posting this, great job @mofimadness | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? I use Zaino products on my black gloss Focal Sopra 2's. In particular I use their grand finale spray seal to remove dust on a regular basis with a soft cotton cloth. I use their all-in-one about once a year to give the finish a nice coat of prot... | |
| Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation @mattlathrop I have had my Sopra 2's for 3 years, I ran them with a BHK250 until about 2 weeks ago when I upgraded to the BHK300's. I love the sound of this combination, in my room they just sound so natural with a mid-range that makes voices s... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? PS Audio offered me a great deal to trade my BHK250 for the BHK300 mono's that I just couldn't pass up. Then I found a great deal on a PS P20 power re-generator at Upscale I couldn't pass up. Those are the 2 newest upgrades lately in a stream of... | |
| What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers? I don't know how the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers would work in this situation but that might be something to research. I am sure someone a lot more knowledgeable than me would be able to answer that question for you. Just an idea. |
