| Streaming / internet provider audphile1 My router is in the next room about 45 feet away from the streamer. No switches or filters. I stream Qobuz using Q Connect or the native Volumio OS. Several times a week, the apps and streamer don't connect, but a quick reboot of the st... | |
| Streaming / internet provider Thanks for the info. | |
| SQ Comparison of 3 streamers I forgot to mention that the SMSL master clock is primarily used with the SMSL CD transport. It helps with CD playback- smoother and more refined treble. In general, the reclocker helps the DAC sound fuller and smoother, but I'm not sure if the ma... | |
| SQ Comparison of 3 streamers Like the OP I had the T8 and now Rivo+. I started streaming with a Bluesound Nano and then bought a T8. In my system, the T8 sounded very clean, detailed and dynamic, but any listening session of an hour, and I was finished. Violins especially sou... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound +1 for Telarc +1 for Chandos Linn Alia Vox HDB Sonus I’ll have to revisit DG, I tend to avoid that label - in the past it always sounded thin and etched to me. +1 for Qobuz | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using Thanks for all the ideas, I'm checking out some different options. | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids System is: Philharmonic BMR monitors - older version with scanspeak woofers pulled out 2.5 ft from front wall and about 3 ft from side walls. Audiolab CD transport Denafrips Pontus 2 DAC Denafrips Hestia/Hyperion pre - power amps Basement lis... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids audphile1 I believe you are correct, that it's the synergy between these components causing the problem. I was hoping that there would be a solution and I could salvage the system. In my listening sessions, the peaks never go above 75dB, so it's ... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? My Philharmonic BMR monitors are the older style with scanspeak paper cone drivers. I built them from a Meniscus Audio kit and used all high-end Clarity Caps in the tweeter and mid driver circuits, for a smoother sound. It's true they are the most... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? The amp/pre is used and would be broken in. It seems as if the sound is too intense, if that makes sense. The Hegel sounds good with any speakers I've tried with it, never fatiguing. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Philharmonic BMR monitor powered with a Hegel H95 or H 360, depending which room I move them to. They were a DIY kit from Meniscus Audio. In Baltic Birch cabs. I used top tier Clarity caps for the tweeter, air core inductors and mid tier Clarity c... | |
| audiolab 6000 CDT transport I have not seen any scratches on CD's. I just keep everything clean. Every so often I gently vacuum the slot area to remove any dust. | |
| audiolab 6000 CDT transport Had this for over a year now and still going strong, reads CD’s that are imperfect and sounds better than any CD player I've ever used. Slot loading units are also in autos and resist temperature extremes and massive vibrations and work for decad... | |
| Speakers for 300B --- Klipsch Heresy 4 or other ideas??? Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions. I got the Lore Reference because I wanted something sooner rather than later. I'm still interested in building something - maybe this winter. The PI speakers look interesting. Maybe try my hand at building... | |
| Speakers for 300B --- Klipsch Heresy 4 or other ideas??? OK purchased a pair of Tekton Lore Reference speakers for the 300B. I'm enjoying the synergy. |
