| Router extender. Thanks guys. Tried setting up the old router as per djones' link but could not get it to work. Part of the problem is not being able to access the cable company modem/router combo's admin/wireless options.It would have been a nice cheap option if ... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Still no pay out on the amp. My wife goes by the UPS store every other day. Every time they say the claim has been approved. But last week they told her that they had only just then assigned an adjuster to the case (a month after the claim!) and a... | |
| Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. Got the Sonos Amp today and hooked it up to the 6Ts.Initial impression is good. I'm not sure I would say great. It does not sound 'thin' or weak. But the jury is still out. My initial impressions are often lukewarm regardless of the component. My ... | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? @jjss49 Thanks for the info. It is helpful. However, I have found that for my ears 44.1khz is probably enough and jitter is just something I've never been able to detect or at least separate from other elements that might degrade SQ.Possibly A/B t... | |
| Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. Update: After considering all the options I've taken the cheapest but in some ways the most elegant approach. I've ordered the Sonos Amp.The dang things are hard to get hold of these days as everyone is sold out. But, I've got one ordered and it s... | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? Update: I've got the old Sonos Connect tied into my primary system. It runs into the Oppo via Coax. AppleTV runs into the Oppo via optical.I don't hear a huge difference between the AppleTV and Sonos streaming Amazon HD but would give the nod to t... | |
| Did Someone mention Music without words Talented trio.And that's the ugliest standup bass I've ever seen. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Update: My wife went back to UPS Store. Still no check. They call the central office while she is there, they say the claim has been approved and that we'll get the check soon. They say 5-10 days is typical. It has been nearly a month. Anyway, its... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? Well, I personally don’t think there is anything sinister about businesses wanting to maximize profits. I’m not saying that business doesn’t and cannot serve other purposes but money is usually the reason there is a business at all.And I agree, mo... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. @northman, no good news. No news at all in fact. My wife is the one that has been having to deal with this and it is her relative that gets the money for these components I've been selling for the estate.Well, I was getting upset with her for not ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @uberwaltz, I am interested to see what you think of Morning Phase. It is certainly a contemplative album, not a rocker.@mapman I feel the same way about most of Beck's other stuff. I just don't really get it. Sea Change is not bad but does not pu... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Beck - Morning Phase. Just recently discovered this. Listening to it every day. I'm just blown away. I'm a sucker for echo chamber. Very mature. Introspective. I can hear lots of stuff in it. Simon and Garfunkel, Grateful Dead, Astral Weeks to nam... | |
| In the course of audible events I like having music playing most of the time. More than my wife does. She is perfectly happy reading in silence for hours.We don't watch much TV or many movies.Read a lot, usually with music playing.However, I'm okay with silence. I hunt a lot. Ra... | |
| Should music critics also be audiophiles? I can enjoy a crappy recording of a really great piece of music.I can enjoy a fine recording of a song that is just okay otherwise.Just like anything else that has various measures of quality it is the masterpiece that encompasses them all.A music... | |
| Anyone here prefer songs without lyrics?? "To avoid the ego loop echoing endlessly in the mind, one has to avoid lyrics in music. to learn the new, to embrace the new, to be renewed in the self...the cup must be emptied from it's full condition, so the new can get in. "True Grasshopper... |
