| new to streaming- help! @soix +1 This was my experience as well, though I just upgraded my streamer from a Sonos Connect rather than a PC. Night and day difference. | |
| new to streaming- help! Margot, I would start by taking Wi-Fi out of the equation. If you plug both the Node and your MacBook into Ethernet, can you see the Node when you run the Bluesound app on your MacBook? | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature The Freya is an excellent choice and does solve this problem. I have one and primarily listen to the buffered, solid state stage for a couple reasons. I will disagree with @elliottbnewcombjr and say that the tube state does not reach its potential... | |
| Really Long XLR The back side of my amps are 7 inches off the wall and the Statement cables make a natural loop to the side without any stress on the cable. I would say that is close to the minimum distance you want to work with. Cheers. Perfect, thanks! | |
| Really Long XLR Sounds like a good buy. I have been considering upgrading my BJC XLR's to OCC, either Zavfino or Audio Sensibility. I like the Star Quad configuration of the Impact, but guessing I would not see much of an upgrade over what I am using. Looking at ... | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore I know I need to do this, thanks for the nudge. In terms of audio, I have always been concerned that a hearing aid would essentially be the last (digital) audio component in my chain, and could negatively affect the quality of sound. Can I ask wha... | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? I am interested in the Acopian power supplies as well, any ps experts out there that can comment? | |
| Pairing with LS50 for whole home audio I would expand your search beyond the Rotel for amplification. NAD gear tends to have a bit more “torque” for the KEF’s, and might be a good fit in your price range. The Rotel will sound okay with the LS50’s, but they will not shine. Given your bu... | |
| Best set-up under $20K Given your focus on digital, I really think you need to upgrade that chain before you make any other big decisions. You are missing out on a lot using Airplay and most likely the embedded DAC as well. Start by getting a dedicated streamer, but som... | |
| Tower Speakers Close to Back Wall You might consider a speaker that is designed to be close to the wall. Larsen comes to mind. | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 20i Another one for my list, thanks @marco1. | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? I am not sure that excited is the right word, but a good review can still raise my interest in a product. And I agree with @jasonbourne71, Herb Reichert is a standout, he could get me to buy cable lifters. | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Benchmark LA4 preamp. I am trialing preamps to replace my Freya +. Nothing wrong with the Schiit, but the journey must continue. | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 20i Thanks for the great review, I will put those on my list to hear. Sometime in the next couple years I plan to upgrade from LS50’s and I am looking for ideas. | |
| Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp I still have my Nakamichi TA-3 from the late 80’s on a second system. Still sounds great. Originally it was driving some Heresy’s, I think the Naks play well with Klipsch. |
