best way to get internet radio I mean I’m listening to the gear and not the music. It doesn’t pull me in and captivate me. | |
best way to get internet radio I followed the same quest and went Bluesound Node 2i. Having tried Qobuz and Deezer I've found that hi-rez can show off the gear but the tradeoff was a more sterile presentation. To me, Spotify and Tunein serve the music better and let me forget... | |

What is the current market value of the Classe Audio CA200 and the Classe Audio 15 amps ? The CA-200 had two versions. The earlier had heat sinks on the rear, the later had heat sinks on the side with "distributed capacitance" and was eventually renamed the CA-201. They all came in silver. The improved CA200/201 reportedly was a much b... | |
pops and ticks from DAC That’s what I can’t stand about digital - all the pops and tics! (Sorry, I couldn’t help it) : ) | |

Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Give it a rest Eric, for God’s sake. | |
LTA Ultralinear vs Pass Labs XA25 I have the Xa-25 so have researched the threads regarding that. If your primary music is rock, consensus is go Xa-25. As far as power goes, your 4 Ohm designed speakers with the Xa's output of 50 Watts class A at 4 Ohms might be a better match. ... | |
4 must have hours of baby boomer music? That explains the 40 year old boomers. I wonder how the party turned out. | |
4 must have hours of baby boomer music? If you can...Get yourself a free 90 day trial of Spotify. Bluetooth it to something like an AudioEngine B1 ($189). RCA outs go to your stereo. Best thing ever for boomers. Suggested listening is crazy good by decade, genre, listening history o... | |
Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 At least you know what you want/don’t-want now. I’m a vinyl addict and feel exactly the same toward digital. | |
How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? My room and, especially, my set up sucks. But the benefits and toll taken by cables are easily heard. I think the neutrality of the system as much as the technical proficiency - detail, taughtness and such -play a part too. A colored system wi... | |
Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 I have the Rega rp-10 and Apheta 2 with the Herron for a year. The combination is rock solid. So glad I didn’t cheap out and settle for less. Still grinning after 300 plays. Ask for a discount. | |
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Your imperfection is in balance. Upset that balance and you’ll be on the upgrade merry-go-round chasing the memory of happiness lost. Proceed at your own risk. | |
