| Would like to stream and connect my turntable through a single pre-amp I have an NAD C658 (which uses the Bluesound UI) and a WiiM Ultra. Both offer what you need (though the NAD is way above your $1K budget at $2600). Both offer great sound for digital music/streaming. I have only the NAD connected to a turntable... | |
| Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative? I own a Node 2 and a Wiim Ultra. I can hear no major difference in the sound profiles when connected to the same amp and speakers. I lean back to the Node because I prefer the Bluesound interface. | |
| Ethernet I run everything via ethernet using powerline adapters into wallplugs. My house was built in the 60's using mostliy aluminum wiring. My main rig streamer is an NAD C658, paired with a tube pre-amp and a vintage power amp. It all souds great to me... | |
| Allnic L-10000 OTL/OCL Line preamp I've also been curious about this preamp. Mostly because it looks so danged cool. LOL | |
| Best place to buy used ds? I find eBay to be a GREAT place to shop for used CDs. If you want it, likely someone out there has it for sale. If you can’t find it on eBay, Discogs is also a great option. Streaming is very convenient, but since I’m tired of subscriptions and... | |
| Allnic OTL/OCL Phono vs Allnic DHT I've always wanted to try Allnic products based purely on aesthetics. If they sound nearly as good as they look... JACKPOT!! | |
| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound I'm happy you posted this question! I have the same experience with my Peachtree 220SE. Based on the advice above I think I will try swapping the preamp tube. | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions Would it be blasphemous of me to recommend good old fashioned milk crates. They are sturdy, stackable and come in different colors if that makes any difference. It's what I happily use. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Not sure how many hundreds you're willing to give, but I second the vote for a Cronus Magnum by Rogue Audio. | |
| Bluesound YES! I thought it was a glitch with my system. Good to know I'm not the only one seeing it. | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Another vote for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks As a general fan of the BluOS platform, I'd lean toward the NAD M66 (assuming streaming will be a routine). But I also say proceed with caution and do a lot of research before hand. NAD failed spectacularly with the initial release of the C658 s... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Diana Krall - Loves Scenes Shirley Horn - You're My Thrill Gregory Porter - Be Good | |

| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? I can second the recommedation for using powerline ethernet adapters. I have one running from my modem to an adapter plugged into a wall socket. I have 5 streamers of various brands scattered about my house (including the garage) - each plugged in... |
