| Best Mesh WiFi System Not sure about best, but this one solved all my problems with coverage in a house with thick plaster walls and even reaches outside to my deck:https://amplifi.com/amplifi-hd | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? KEF and NAD. Sufficient range in offerings and I could sell that combo. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Just to add to what others have said, streamers/digital sources all sound different. I am on my third streamer, the other two are okay, this one is better, all through the same DAC. I will keep looking. I have one of those Nakamichi 5 CD changers ... | |
| Is it worth it to add a music server just for FLAC files? The real question seems to be whether a new streamer platform can offer improved sound. Others have said it here, but just agreeing that 'yes' you can improve your sound by upgrading your streamer. I have been experimenting with standalone streame... | |
| DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER I just bought a RPI4 with a DigiOne Signature. I am using it with MoodeAudio and a BubbleUPnP android app as a controller. So far I am underwhelmed by the sound. It sounds a bit harsh at the top end. I have Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions. I also ... | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go It sounds like you have the cabling and isolation well thought out. I have considered using the relatively low cost TP Links, do you have any feedback on them? Did they make a difference?I am sure there are those that would differ, but while I thi... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement Yes, I heard the Jazz Standard closed, bummer. Good food and a good space. We actually went to see Emmet Cohen at the Vanguard, but the bonus was Ron Carter was playing bass with them. $35 a ticket, not bad. We would have gone to any show as the t... | |
| jazz drivers Not saying it's your answer, but I listen to a lot of jazz on my KEF LS50's with a subwoofer. I like a warm, clear sound as well and am very satisfied, but also have not compared to other speakers. You might also consider adding a tube preamp as i... | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go Got it, sorry I was missing the point. What are the other components of your system? | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go In the end I eliminated both my CD players altogether. Ripped all my CD's to a network drive and used a Sonos Connect for streaming them and online content. The reason I know how much difference a streamer can make is that as an experiment this wi... | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go what I can say is that using the Philips CD player (has a CD or Transport) I get a huge sound stage. If I then change to a Sony CDP-997 (has a CD or transport) it does not give me that big of a sound stage.I suspect you have identified your prob... | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go I agree that the room and placement is important, but digital equipment can definitely affect your soundstage. A key technical feature of a good streamer is low jitter, with negative results being a poorly defined or smeared image. The DAC you are... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement If it sounds as good as you say, then you have a good solution. In my situation it booms if I get too close. Glad you love your system.I hear what you are saying about bass not being some simple transient. Proper bass at all volumes is of highest ... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement I have LS50's and placement challenges as well, and am a jazz fan familiar with the Vanguard album. Based on your post I played the first track and yes, I would say the sides are close to even level with with some edge given to Evans. I thought th... | |
| What I’m looking for in a streaming transport I am searching for the same thing. The Lumin Mini seems to be the best choice in the streamer only space, but still too expensive for my tastes. In the meantime I put together a Pi 4 with an Allo DigiOne board and low end LPS, all running Moode. R... |
