| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Whenever I unpacked speakers from their original boxes if there was no instructions I would unpack them in a high ceiling room. By placing the boxed speaker upside down and undoing the flaps on the bottom and removing foam. The speaker is now stan... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Something worth mentioning if you are going with the Bluesound ecosystem. The Vault is a better option if you want to digitize a CD collection AND stream music. When I bought the Node 2 I had many CDs ripped with ITunes which created file folders ... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Another vote for Node 2. The newest version is the Node2i. If you get a Bluesound and stream Tidal and the MQA albums, you might be surprised at the quality of sound. Auralic, Lumin and Innuous have some high quality offerings but I have found NAD... | |
| Bluesound NODE 2 paired with Benchmark DAC 1? I have the Benchmark USB DAC1 with the Bluesound Node 2. The pair sound very good, but surprisingly not that much better than the internal Bluesound Node 2 dac. When I switch to about 8 out of 10 MQA albums, the Node 2 sounds the best by itself. | |
| Beware the audio guru An ironic outcome of this thread, it has revealed many of the audio gurus we are to be aware of?!?!Are they genuine audio gurus, potential audio gurus, wannabe audio gurus or just delusional, arrogant blowhards? | |
| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon Perhaps look for speakers from a different angle...Top speaker designers/engineers list..Andrew Jones, Richard Vandersteen, Kevin Voecks, Jim Salk, Bill Dudleston, Alon Wolf, etc..I tend to look much more at the guy who made the speaker rather tha... | |
| Can this be good first tube amplifier? To be honest if I bought this tube amp and it was not wired correctly or had a counterfeit part which caused it to catch fire or worse catch my audio room aflame, I don’t know who I would contact in Hong Kong. At least if I bought from a dealer I ... | |
| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? Uberwaltz-You seem to shoot down many suggestions and want someone else to do all the work for you. If money is not the problem, buy three or four complete turntable systems, try them out and post your results. We can all benefit, your ears can de... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Guinness Draught or Extra Stout.Sometimes a good Pilsner beer from Germany. | |
| Powering nine home speakers Trade in the Onkyo and get this.https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/amplifiers/MC8207 | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) If if not Vandersteen Quatro CT then Treos, Magnepan 3.7 or 20.0.Also I have heard the Legacy Aeros and if that could be chosen at used price, that would might work very well. | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player Fair enough. With an eye turned toward education, sharing musical enjoyment and experimentation and experience..someone here, including the OP can buy a used Sony Walkman and connect it to their home stereo. I am all for that.here is one for sale ... | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player George (OP)will probably never come back to this thread. He probably never intended to get another budget CDP. The suggestion to use a portable CDP (Walkman, Discman, Funkman or whatever) to connect to his stereo. I think that is more in line with... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? Boxes of fancy wires......that is what this hobby is. Spend a few bucks, spend thousands....but don’t be fooled you are buying boxes of fancy wires. | |
