| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I use a single REL SHO S/5 in a very irregular room, H/W/L all vary. By necessity set up is behind the tv and took only a few tries for great sound. Close to the wall and aimed to a 45 degree fireplace two feet away. Here’s the bizarre part. Just ... | |
| Should I use the dac in my node2i or the one in a marantz av7705? PD Creative Without this the streamer itself is the true bottleneck, not the internal or external DAC. I have them on the 2i and n130. Just incredible. They invoiced me with PayPal in US dollars. The sale price (370 PLN) is currently US $85. | |

| OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here?? Yeah, everything should end in 99 or 99.99. who's hooting who? Ring that bell, Pavlov! | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated larryincmh, Not only is R2R not R2R, neither is NOS! (Non Over Sampling) 🌀 | |

| Hearing aids I’ve had hearing aids for six months now (I’m 68) and, like so many, I did NOT want to go there. Stubborn, vain and also cynical about their effect on music. I needed them years ago. I was wrong. Music is not artificial sounding (my big fear) a... | |

| System bottleneck? You didn't say but streaming by bluetooth would be an obvious bottleneck. | |
| The best phono cartridge alignment tool Here’s a tip for finding the pivot on a Rega and some other arms when using the Feickert. With the arm on the lift I place a 3/8” square of sticky note with a dot in the center over the pivot. With the Feickert pointer over the dot, I’ll swing the... | |
| The best phono cartridge alignment tool I have the Geo Disc, the Mint and the Feickert. Maybe because I wear bifocals I don’t’ recommend the Geo. Sighting down that rail to the pivot is near impossible. I have to stand way back to see the whole rail in focus. The Mint is the most accura... | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I have the newest Node with LPS and external Dac too. Surprising to read about loose bass and high noise floor. My system easily shows faults like those. Not present. |
