| Digital is far better than vinyl This is great. There seems to be two groups here. One that only read the title and the group who read the whole post. For those who only read the subject. This was a joke. I admit it is pretty funny to see a post get serious as opposed to goi... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender High quality streamers cashe and isolate, making up for deficiencies in bandwidth, latency and such. While admittedly I have been in IT most of my life, this comes from observation of my own streamers producing simply stunning, uninterrupted sound... | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz I think you have it… tilt that back a bit and it really improve the sound at the seated position. | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? Thanks for the info on your system. Looks thoughtfully assembled with some good choices. I don’t know, you have a pretty good setup. If you have $1K. I would save it and wait until you can invest in a better integrated amp as your next step. In t... | |
| Aurender Star Feature (removing stars) I’d ask Aurender. Under Help in app, send remote support email.… they are quick to answer. | |

The moment I bought a dedicated streamer I immediately abandoned other sources and rapidly moved up the levels, experiencing major sound quality improvements at every step culminating wi... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? What is the rest of your equipment? There is a place to show under your UserID. This gives a much better perspective. Cables are very component and system dependent. Typically one wants to stay in a cost range given your overall component sound qu... | |
| Aurender N20 I think I entered a code once, a couple years ago. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range Oops. My bad. I moved mine from under feet to under the chassis. Sounds better. Not sure what made me initially put them under the feet. I have used, cones, vibrapods, pucks…. Long list and never put them under the feet. Oh well… senior momen... | |
| Analog upgrade time 👍 I would definitely be looking for a used in that price range. Buy a used Audio Research or other top notch audiophile component and you can get really outstanding performance and high reliability. | |
| Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget? I think it will come down to what character you are looking for. I think you have identified some amps with “the right stuff” for speakers requiring high current. Given you have a Conrad Johnson preamp I would think the Krell would be a great matc... | |
