Node 2i performance suggestions pls
Pretty sure there is another thread similar to this already running - assuming you have good quality interconnects that mate well with your amp/preamp I would look at upgrading the Ethernet cable running to your Node 2i. I found that upgrading the... 
Node 2i performance suggestions pls
The biggest difference that I noticed cable wise on my Node 2i was running CAT8 cable to it from my switch.  I just used generic cable but I'm sure Supra, Wireworld etc would be even better.It definitely fleshed out the sound, I noticed a much big... 
high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000?
The Technics SL-1500C is definitely a winner in and around that price point - most tables with built in Phono don't allow you to switch it off but the Technics does so if you end up with an amp or preamp with a better Phono stage you can disengage... 
Node 2i to U1 Mini with Yggdrasil?
Thanks I'm going to try running Roon through a laptop via USB into the Yggy after putting some more hours on the Teac and see what happens.The NT-505 is a real sleeper I think - listening to Herbie Hancock The Prisoner right now in MQA via Roon an... 
Harbeth 40.2
I've been living with a pair of 40.2's for almost a year now in a room which is about 15' x 25' that opens up to the main floor of the home so lots of room to breathe.I found that pulling the speakers out from the back wall and towards the listeni... 
Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2?
I am running an Apheta 2 on an RP10 and it's very good but if I weren't buying one at a discount with the player I'd buy something else.Lyra or Dynavector at similar price points will best the Apheta - I was running a Lyra Delos prior to the Aphet... 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
Just to be clear - from what I understand you can update the NETWORK firmware through the app and over the network but to update the SYSTEM firmware you have to download a file on a home computer, unzip the file and then connect the home computer ... 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
I just received one of these as well and have had no network issues whatsoever - it grabbed on right away.Factory reset probably your best bet then before you do anything with your system move the unit over to a PC and update the software on the u... 
Can speakers sound worse during break-in period?
Time to enjoy the roller coaster ride - play them as much as you can over the next few weeks after which point you'll either love them or hate them. 
How do I stream from my iPad to my LG OLED 4K HDR 55B6P TV?
Pretty sure you can stream it through the LG TV plus app if the set itself doesn't do airplay.If that doesn't work try the allcast app. 
Phonostage for Rega P10
Been super happy with the Parasound JC3 with my RP10 - went through a bunch of cheaper Phono stages and it was real easy to settle on the Parasound once putting it in line.I'm sure it's not the be all end all but it's a fantastic piece of gear all... 
Favorite 'Best o/f" recordings!
I found the double Steely Dan Gold album to have really good sound and it's a good selection of their best tunes as well... 
Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks
I have heard that the 40.2 responds well to big power but there are also some real happy campers running Vinnie Rossi amps that are around 75 a channel and the LFD NCSE which I am running which is also known to play well with the 40.2's.I don't ne... 
Best Buy Speakers at Best Buy under $1500pr
The KEF Q350 are a great, fun speaker - I prefer them to the LS50 as they are much easier to drive and have better bass.Not familiar with B&W I'm sure there's a winner in there but for stand mounts the Q350 is a great option and well under $1500. 
New Cartridge
Dynavector 10x5 would be the obvious choice which is known to work great on that table.Apparently Nagaoka carts also play well with a Rega and generally seem to be underrated the MP200 or 300 would be in that range.
