| Benchmark HPA4 and LA4 Preamps There is a new review of the Benchmark preamp without the headphone amp. https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1352-benchmark-media-systems-la4-preamplifier I am a little disappointed in this review in that they did not men... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The LA dealer is 75 miles from me. MusicDirect.com is MSRP but allows for a 2 month trial. | |
| Ethernet cable vs wifi for high definition audio streaming One highly regarded streaming maker, Aurelic, has optimized their streamer for WIFI. I believe they think the Ethernet wire is noisy so they have optimized the WIFI receptor in their device such that WIFI should be the first option. I do not think... | |
| Network Switches @ grannyring The best advice you can get on interfacing to the Sonare Optical module is by Sonare themselves. Jesus and Barrow, from Sonare participates on the Audiophilestyle.com Sonare Forum. The reason it would be smart to email them or Small G... | |
| Network Switches It appears that some posters here don’t know the difference between obtaining optimal sound vs any sound. Perhaps, their systems aren’t resolving enough to demonstrate improvements. Unfortunately, these posters are polluting other member’s threa... | |
| Network Switches @asvjerry I am a little slow so I am not sure I get the gist of your post. However, I will say that over the past 3+ years of using a mircoRendu while my computer did a few things such as, browser windows open to mostly static computer programming... | |
| Network Switches https://www.sonore.us/systemoptique.htmlI just looked at the link above again and read about option 4 for Fiber Optical to an audio system.Currently, in my office, I use my electrically noisy (or busy) computer with a microRendu. I could skip buyi... | |
| Network Switches I should have used the terminology that @allane posted above to be clearer in my explanation.@grannyring You can use a RJ45 switch which also has optical fiber connection. Take a look at the following product. I will buy this one for $200 and repl... | |
| Network Switches @grannyring I am not sure if you are referring to the OPTICAL connection on a DAC or the OPTICAL I am referring to which is analogous to RJ45 Ethernet cable. https://www.ui.com/accessories/fiber-modules-cable/ | |
| Network Switches @steakster thanks for the link. I was considering the following. https://www.ui.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/ I am a big fan of Ubiquiti as a company. | |
| Network Switches At one time I was thinking that an Ethernet connection on a DAC was the future. I even started a thread a few years ago asking what others thought about this.However, today I hear the talk of noise on the Ethernet line and why that may not be some... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! There are quite few review sites that compare the products under review with other similar items. My favorite site is the very popular Soundstage.com. I like almost all the reviewers writing there and they also answer email. https://hometheaterhi... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! What is interesting for me on these A'Gon threads is that the Vandersteen threads usually have the same participants and other speaker threads tend to have a variety of participants. This thread for example has people who like the Personas and oth... | |
| Thiel Owners Actually the ceiling is 25+ feet. The Width is 12 and Length is 21 feet. It is impossible for me to put the speakers along the long wall. California homes for the most part are not audio friendly.Do you think the short wall (with non-uniform side ... | |
| Thiel Owners A hypothetical question. How would the Thiel 3.7 sound in room that is 12’ W x 21’ L + 25' H. The main issue is the unequal side wall distances.The speaker would need to go on the short wall. Facing the speakers, the right speaker would be 2 feet ... |
