| Greatest Rock Drummers Reggae drumming is off-putting? That’s a new one 🥇 | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? @hk_fan curious to know which brands you consider “tried and true, blue chip”? For you where does innovation figure in to the tried and true equation? When it comes to customer service, PS Audio is far more Lexus than BMW—spoken by someone who own... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal My router is a Meraki, which is owned by Cisco. It’s professionally set-up by a network IT specialist. It’s definitely not the issue. I’m probably going to send the Node2 back to the store. I’m not sure what jitter issues sound like, but I don’t l... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Update: just got a password update from a tech support rep at Tidal after 4 days. Service with a smile. Their SLA is SOL. Thought this article was intriguing: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2017/12/wyred-4-sound-dac2v2se-10th-anniversary-review/ | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal @givin2u I agree with you about customer service. I never did hear back from Tidal about the difficulties I was having. A human to interact with is not too much to ask. They aren’t a startup anymore. In terms of SQ, after a few days listening to t... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Thanks for the great feedback. I jury-rigged an Ethernet connection between my router and Node 2 using an old Netgear switch as a link between two cables so I would have enough length (over 25 feet). I immediately noticed a difference. To confirm ... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal @hgeifman @jond have either of you heard the Cambridge Audio CXN? Can you recommend a DAC at a decent price point?  Im going to look into hard wiring, but it’s not my first choice. | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal  @hgeifman thanks for your reply. I’m using a high-end business grade Cisco router. I have plenty of bandwidth. I am using wi-if rather than Ethernet, and I wonder if that is affecting the sound quality. Running a hardwire to the Node 2 is not sup... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal The sound quality is better than other streaming services, but that ain’t saying much. On my tenth try I was eventually able to recover my password and connect Tidal to my Bluesound box. My initial impression of the sound quality was positive, but... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Where, or how, does one purchase Heron gear? The website does not address this vital question. | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response The room had some issues for certain, but the setup was top notch. Other Focals—Kantas  and Sopras 1 and 3–sounded terrific with the same gear. I realize they are at a different price point but just to say that the 948s were a big disappointment. ... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response  I found the bass of the 948s to be muddy when I auditioned them recently at a local dealer. Not to my tastes at all, and I really appreciat a deep, articulate bass. | |
| adding a stereo amp and pre- amp to an existing home theater set up Thanks for the info. Can a sub be integrated into the 2-channel set-up as well as the HT set-up? | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables This is is my first post on this forum. I’m just getting back into the hobby after a long hiatus. I got my first stereo at 13, which was an aspiration for kids my age. I am a consumer researcher by profession helping companies to understand and im... |
