| How to copy a picture I use an iXpand flash drive. It has lightning plug for iPad, usb 3.0 for computer so can transfer photos from iPad to computer. If you have a computer. | |
| Music first or sound first? Music makes me feel something or it’s just sound. It can be perfect sound, amazing sound and surreally real sound. A car starting, a hammer dropping - just noise. A heart beating, a wish, a lost love, a triumphant victory. That’s music. That the s... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line So I tossed the Ruby for AZ Absolute Copper. Nice upgrade. Much smoother and tamed the top a bit. Will share with the tt for now. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line It' a family room so acoustics and set up are what they are -suboptimal. OK, dismal. And that's that. WAF I have cables, tubes and sources (as in recordings) to work with. Some music works, some doesn't. High pitched electric guitar or femal... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I'll let the n200 gather some hours. Spdif is my connection of choice. It does fun things with the music. Usb is better at technical things. Cables on the analog side are tried and true. AZ Satori shotgun speaker and (please don't laugh) AQ R... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I ordered from an authorized dealer who then had it drop shipped from Aurender. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Next day: The n200 and DAC ran on repeat overnight. Still hot so I dug up a few Amperex: 1 Orange label PQ etch 436 2 Orange globe 7308 etch 100 and 728 2 7308 JAN Orange globe etch 714 723 1 6dj8 Bugle Boy Holland etch GA40L1 also has 6433 ... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I believe mine is a 6922. What shape it’s in is questionable. We shall see. If a no go then maybe a Mullard. BTW big thanks again for the help. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @tvad Thank you. I have an Amperex PQ I think is a white label somewhere in a box of tubes. Certainly worth a try. If not I ‘ll try Brent Jesse. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Or I should say the simplest solutions are always the... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @audphile1 I sit here evaluating usb vs spdif. I give the usb a big thumbs up on performance. cleaner, clearer, quieter. Bottom is tighter, midrange is good, top is good but too aggressive. My vinyl is fine so maybe the cable or break in? Possib... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Don't know yet. So much, so new, so fast. Still catching up. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @audphile1 It’s been leaps and bounds. The WW Starlight 8 spdif and the Nordost H2 AES were a bad match for the U2 mini and AM DAC 4. The Silver Starlight 8 just plain worked. Then Aurender arrived. Then Tidal. My digital game has finally landed... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I reopened my Tidal account. Sinead O’Connor has been in my head for a week and I think I may have exorcised her because she was definitely outside my head, in the room, and belting out how nothing compares to me. Great! | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @maholl50 Thanks for the suggestion. This is the first I’ve heard of Eversolo. Looking at the DMP-A8’s versatility and style, for the money how can I not be impressed? Well appointed and well presented. BUT I’m going to defer to the skeptic i... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I just did. Call me crazy but things got relaxed and natural. Unstrained. |
