| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @boulder_bob You might try a repeater, it is a cheap experiment: TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RHD97QY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @boulder_bob I recently moved to a new room where it was not convenient to use a wired Ethernet connection, and it was recommended that I use a wireless extender instead. I did this and everything worked fine. One day I decided to see if a hard wi... | |
| Power cord upgrade @mclinnguy Thanks, Audio Sensibility is on my list.Very fair prices and it looks like decent gear. | |
| Power cord upgrade @megabyte No problem, there are so many choices it is easy to mix up the specs. I have never noticed much difference with power cables until I tried this Shunyata on my Furman PFi 20, and the Puritan that replaced it. A profound difference, no... | |
| Power cord upgrade @megabyte Voodoo cables Vision. 8 gauge OCC copper This caught my eye, as I have had good luck with OCC copper cables. I could not find any reference to OCC for the Vision cables. That would be a good price if they were OCC, did I miss something? | |
| Power cord upgrade @mclinnguy Interesting. I just removed the ultimate cord and inserted the classic back into the PSM156 because I thought this comment was quite odd. I certainly don’t get any etched highs, if anything it is smoother and easier to listen to than t... | |
| Power cord upgrade Try a WireWorld Silver Electra on your streamer, they are well liked for that purpose. I just received a Puritan PSM156 last week and have been breaking it in with the Classic+ cord that came with it. I know the Puritans take about two weeks to b... | |
| Separates vs Integrated I know how it goes finding the right preamp, I have spent a couple years looking for the right fit for my system. I have Coda #8 and have tried Schiit, Ayre, Coda, Benchmark and now Pass. The Pass has been the best so far, by a good margin, the Be... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands Oops, forgot that I also had the Benchmark LA4, which I liked, but it was a bit on the sterile side. The Pass was a very nice upgrade. | |
| Solid State preamp Brands Following with interest. I have tried Schiit, Ayre and Coda, but settled on a Pass XP-12 to mate with my Coda #8. I am always on the lookout for a step up and am interested what others have to say about the Classe. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @stuartk I've been considering the Reuss. I'm curious what, specifically, you'd hope to improve by moving up to the DAC1MK ll. I love the Reuss and at this time I am not considering a change. The sound is very addicting and I just want to keep ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Excellent review of the Merason DAC1. Your review matches well with my impression of the Merason Reuss in my system. I may have to upgrade to get more of the goods as the Merason sound suits me. | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new I would not get hung up on the DAC, eventually you will want to replace it with a separate unit anyway. As for wattage, 200 is a lot, unless you regularly play at concert levels. Significant cosmetic damage on a fairly young amp might be cause for... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? I am surprised at your experience with the Pass XP-12, I added one to my system this year and it is an excellent pre, with zero grain or sibilance that I can detect. I suspect that it is only exposing some issues with your source(s) that the ML is... | |
| Thoughts on a NAD M66 and a McIntosh C12000 That’s a tough one, I don’t see any high end standalone streamers that support BluOS. Lots of mid-fi offerings. My Innuos will connect with Sonos and Wiim, maybe there is a path using one of the other platforms. |
