| Audiolab 6000CDT I returned the 6000 . It just didn’t sound good in my system at that time, Since, my system has completely changed and I decided to rip all my cds with a laptop and usb CD drive. My CDs now sound amazing. My point is not to criticize the tran... | |
| Cartridges Best cartridge/arm/table/phono preamp. or a new car | |
| Ethernet cables The description of this cable suggest that it is good at isolating from external noise (EMF), but some of the supposed best claim that they passively filter noise already mixed with signal. Perhaps someone would like to explain the different form... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? You can always improve your musical reproduction, but the question would be why. If you are happy with the music then leave things alone, because real solid improvement means examining all components from power to speakers and determining the bes... | |
| Aurender N20 My digital has now been transformed in a way that I hadn’t imagined. I wanted to find out if I needed to attend to the small details, or if my DAC just wasn’t capable of delivering at the level of my analog rig. I started out by Lalit taking me t... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. You can easily rip cds with a $30-$40 drive and any computer. No need to pay a premium by purchasing an audio with a built in drive. | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player @rbsaudio True, but many have used quality mesh networks with Ethernet ports to drive the Aurender. When you think about the Aurender, regardless of where, or how the music arrives, it is played directly from an internal cache. | |
| Aurender N20 @nmcc0866 I agree that moving to Aurender represents a loss with regard to user experience. Conductor does allow for extensive search functions, but lacks lyrics and more inclusive background information. Per those in the know, function is kept... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? That’s an interesting question. I found that power conditioners and cables provide black noise free background to the music. In doing so, it allows, along with interconnects, your components to be heard. For me, to do this to a high degree require... | |
| DAC vs PC vs Source I hope that you are using Shunyata NR power cables. These cables combined with an Everest 8000 made a dramatic difference for my system. I have Sigma to Everest and Sigma NR to 300 watt/channel integrated. Venom NR to subs, which only cover lowest... | |
| Anthem AVM-70 8K and Apple 4K Start Up Issue My Anthem 70 must be turned on separately from my Sony TV. When I turn off the TV the Anthem switches off. Never thought to try to change this behavior. | |
| Dallas DFW speaker crossover repair gurus that you'd trust @dtximages true but I'm not competent to read those diagrams ha. I would need to get them to the right person which is why I'm looking for the Dallas guru like Danny Richie.. I ju Must you move the speakers, or might just transporting the cr... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player Streaming services do not provide DSD Is DSD always superior to PCM? | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player I use dBPoweramp, a $35 USB CD drive and a MacBook Pro to rip CDs. dBPoweramp makes sure that the rip is bit perfect. My ripped FLAC file automatically is uploaded to my Synology server, but it can be uploaded wherever you want. I keep the NAS as ... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player Is your DAC well isolated from USB noise/jitter? |
