| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @audphile1 Wow! That certainly didn’t talk me out of it. Dah-yum! | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @fastfreight It sits right at $6300 but I’m looking at a sizable discount from an authorized dealer. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I’m streamin’ and discin’ only so Roon isn’t necessary. And I love web radio. Spotify connect will do. I can experiment with other providers once the streamer is on par with the rest of the system. I’m thinking the mini is a bottleneck in any ... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @pdreher yeah, I can see how that could be painful. I’ve not seen a trend, having researched a ton. My experience with failing modems (a few) is they lead me down the path of suspecting the affected device when, in fact, the modem was on its l... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question enj, The streamer is connected to the net by wire or wi-fi. With Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect, their apps on your phone, pad or computer will control your streamer, which will connect directly to the source for the music stream. Just choose y... | |
| Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment I like that people are enthusiastic about their gear. Keep on recommending! Questions are equally important. Ask away! It's a forum, not pay for advice, like, for instance, psychiatry. Get some! | |

| How does bi-wiring work? @soix I tried (WBC) jumpers on my AZ Satori Shotguns. I hear exactly what you describe. It's not subtle, they're staying! Thanks for the tip. | |
| Cartridge Change Overhang Difference-Fixed Headshell @rauliruegas Agree. Any protractor that can compensate for p2s variance will do a better job in this instance. When the Mint’s ability to set overhang and alignment are both compromised by the rigid cartridge mounting scheme, it goes from a ma... | |
| Cartridge Change Overhang Difference-Fixed Headshell @bigwave1 I have a Mint. My spindle to pivot was off by less than 2 mm and I could not get the cantilever to align at both null point grids simultaneously. I could get the stylus over the target at each null but the cantilever would be parallel t... | |
| Cartridge Change Overhang Difference-Fixed Headshell The Mint LP target is specific to the pivot to spindle distance. Since that distance hasn’t changed, use the target. If long or short of the target, be aware that the Mint’s null points and their alignment grids will no longer apply. | |
| Pass Labs Int-25 vs Int-30A With the Herron, yes. MUCH better. Gobs of potential the Int-25 ignores. | |
| Pass Labs Int-25 vs Int-30A I did have the xa-25 with a Herron 360 pre, then a Luxman and now an Int-25. The Int-25 is an xa-25 with a bare bones pre and is very enjoyable. The xa with a decent tube pre is another league - or two. I haven’t heard the Int-30A. | |
| Cartridge mounting woes Could you mount the new screw in a Dremel and turn the the head down against a file or grind wheel and turn down the shaft so no threads engage the Hana threads? | |
