| Thinking of taking the plunge. Streaming AmazonHD and Roon from iPhone and iPad to Airplay. My WiFi is on Windows computers with Eero Mesh Wifi. Easy to add Airplay to the wifi network. Mini plug to RCA can send analog signal to your preamp; a $7 adapter allows Toslink cable fr... | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? Streaming directly to my power amp on my second system for years. In my First Second System, I had an amplifier with gain controls and a Denon CD player that also provided some limited volume control. Plugged the CD player in direct to the power a... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey Great post, OP. Enjoyed reading these interesting stories. Like everyone on here, it’s an incremental journey. There have been seminal experiences and some good rigs thru the years. But the latest increment was, on a whim, buying a pair of ESL... | |
| BIG difference Tidal vs Amazon Music Am listening to Amazon Music HD with Airplay into my stereo/AV rig using the app from my iPhone or iPad. (Airplay will deliver Red Book audio and the network adapter supports mini plug and digital out.) I’ve A-B’d several CDs vs Amazon and can’t ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Like others reading this thread, I don’t post very often. But since I’m using an MC352 to drive Quad ESL63s, I’ll say that my rig sounds amazing to me (and others who hear it). The Mac, to my ears, doesn’t sound like anything. It’s like looking in... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Late 60s. Junior high or High School. Find myself sitting on the floor between speakers of our Sears stereo. You know the ones. Big ole hunk of wood. Herb Alpert was playing and at the end of one track they bounced the trumpet back and forth quick... | |
| the cart or the horse? This is what AGon should be all about. Great thread. Enjoyed reading this… | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? As a professional musician, audio is such a passion that it strikes me odd to have it called a “hobby.” I’m one of the lurkers who reads the Agon threads every day but rarely posts; here to gather information and “hang” with others who love and a... | |
| Forum Updates 11/24/2021 Testing WYSIWYG from iOS. New line on pressing return? 👍 Thanx! | |
| Advice on a streamer If you’re streaming off an iPad, suggest you try Airplay. I’m using a used Airplay 1264 connected to one of the inputs on my Marantz AV 7701. Cost $20 on eBay. Airplay supports Red Book specs. So you get regular CD quality only. I’m importing CD... | |
| Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization? Hi. I’m listening to Quad ESL63s using a Hsu sub to handle the load below 90 Hz. I’m listening thru a Marantz AV preprocessor, so I use the sub crossover settings in the preamp to handle the integration. It’s working great to my ears (and to other... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Thanks Jasmine fir your post and to everyone for this enjoyable thread. | |
| Streaming for beginner Can someone tell me why carriage returns from my iPhone are getting swallowed in my posts? | |
| Streaming for beginner Sending some love out to AirPlay, which has facilitated my entry into the streaming world. Bought a used Marantz AV7701 and saw it is Airplay ready. So I did the Roon 2week trial and haven’t looked back. Have been sending CDs into iTunes (on Windo... | |
| 700.00 speakers new or used Bought a pair of Quad ESL63s on Audiogon for $700. Life changing. |
