| Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar. @grannyring Both USB drive and SSD are SSD. The USB drive is usually much slower and uses the 5V of the USB for power. Audio transport doesn’t require the speed of a traditional SSD and most work great for 4K video streaming, which requires a ... | |
| Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar. Since audio is a low bandwidth data transfer and USB thumb drives do not use noisy motors, why not use an inexpensive USB thumb drive? | |
| Digital front end upgrade options @james1911 I don’t have the option to test gear to find out for myself. Hoping to get a little insight here. You lack the most important tool when building a system. Living in a local without dealers, or in a country where returns are not al... | |
| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades @oldaudiophile There are some long time members with high end systems that say that their digital is as pleasing as their analog. I don’t think that they claim that they are the same in every way and I’m pretty sure that all is source dependent.... | |

| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback Maintaining both digital and analog systems is quite costly. You have some inexpensive options suggested above, but before spending more on the analog side, consider how such expenditures might improve your digital. I say this because getting anal... | |
| Can an audio rack be that important? My listening room is on rug covered hardwood floors suspended over a two car garage. Isolating my turntable was a really difficult task. I spent a good bit on a Timber Nation Tiger Maple 3" Shelf Rack, which is shown on my profile. It is very h... | |
| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience @joey54 What features does the Lightening App have that isn’t found in Conductor? | |
| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience @robertkpax The sound quality is good enough If “good enough” is your goal then saving money is a reasonable strategy. | |
| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience +1 lordmelton All points I prefer Roon for a bit of functionality, but like Conductor and love Aurender. I’m using a newer iPad. | |
| What's the point of reviewing? Reviews provide information and it is up to the reader to determine if anything of value was passed on. More likely, the comments provide a variety of perspectives and the value here can be more useful than the initial review. Regarding the valu... | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @marco777 Do you really think that someone has auditioned three eBay cables and can tell you what to do? I have my doubts regarding purchasing one cable, especially lower end cables and expecting a transformation of your sound. I suspect that ... |
