Site seems to be responsive and working well this morning, thanks to Mike and his team for the ongoing support. :tup:

I think Magico is set to retire the S7 design and put it in it's rightful place in the pantheon of other great past successes.

Well said Chris, we moved from California for similar reasons. Mainly so we could afford to retire keeping similar lifestyle. We were able to purchase our new home for cash. It is not smaller than our California home, but it is a whole lot less...

I have measured the current draw of over 20 different NUC boards. For the regular Nucleus, the current draw @ 12V is as follows: Standby: 0.05A Music playing (no DSP): 0.42A Startup spike (less than 0.1s): 1.22A Nucleus+ Standby: 0.05A

Intel specs for the NUC boards used inside the Nucleus clearly state: Input voltage: 12-19V DC Which means you can use any voltage from 12V to 19V. Nucleus comes with 19V one, which is the most popular laptop standard (and also the cheaper...

According to the Roon website it takes a 19 volt power supply. Also those LHY PS from AliExpress are grey market and have no warranty. There is a US Distributor in Texas with full warranty and free shipping.

This is a 12 volt LPS....is that sufficient ?....I thought one needed something like 19/20 volts, especially if doing DSP, etc.

It is too early to be sure what the end result is going to be. Because of all of the fluids red and clear that are still draining the Eustachian Tubes are often clogged off and on. It is hard to say for sure because, when they aren't it seems...

Nucleus One is said to offer similar performance the regular Nucleus (computing power wise), although in a plastic case, with a fan. Those unfortunately tend to get noisier with use. I'm a bit worried about the SSD performance of the Nucleus One...

I didn't know this, never tested it, because I have a Turing case. Ty for this info. Talking about the LPS, I hear a huge quality difference between brands.

Yup, same here.

The product shots from Casio don't do it justice; the way it plays with light is really gorgeous. I'll set up my lighting kit in the next few days and take some proper photos of it, but in the meantime, here's a quickie iPhone wrist shot...

1. Without playing to Lumin, check the bitrate display of Plex/Plexamp app when playing to your phone speaker or headphone. If the bitrate is still wrong, check that you have set Plex transcoding to off, and all quality settings at Original or...

Was unable to load this morning. Loaded fine this evening.

Hi there @wklie I know this is an old thread, but my question is related to Plex so it seems this may be the best way to post it. I have set up Plex to work with my Lumin D1. I have Plexamp app and Plex Pass. When I am sending my music to the...

The obvious next question... did the sinus surgery have any impact on your hearing acuity/listening enjoyment? If beneficial, that could be the ultimate audiophile "tweak" for us aging audiophile codgers! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Are you suggesting some old guy might be cranky about an audio cable or anything else on earth on any given day.:dunno:

It’s only needed if the power supply it’s connected to is a SMPS. If you’re using a LPS, it’s not required.

As a retired Anesthesiologist, I'd say you were having a classic episode of Postoperative Delirium. It's more common in the elderly (just sayin' :D). Your subconscious, apparently, has some unresolved audiophile issues to work out! When...

Good idea. We are working in the background to upgrade software and servers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I found a work around, sort of. When I get a "too many redirects" message and can't get in, I Google Audioshark and can go to Forums, general. Navigating the forum from there is precarious. Maybe start a software update thread in "general" and...

It’s in the screen shot I posted. When you go to log in, it’s right there next to password. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Where is 'Remember Me' located, is it on Audioshark, or located within each browser ?

Fun story Brad.

Yes. to be exactly I use the Akasa Turing case. Your one is the Plato. Both are awesome. What is still worth to try: the plato uses an internal powersupply which can be replaced by an audiophilic one. That ifi is by the way very interesting....

I had a big rash of the site not loading with Safari on my iPad citing too many redirects. Problem remained the same after donating. On and off still, working fine this evening.

When I had my second cataract surgery the doctor came out while I was recovering and said, "you were a real character in there". I didn't know what he was talking about and definitely afraid to ask, LOL

Lucky your focus was on cables :)

Great story. If it were me, it might well have been a "conversation" about why, after ~100 years, we still have not been able to unify Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. :P

Yes, I get that...all the time. I've been having this exact problem since February. I never know from one day to the next if I'll be able to gain access to the site, or not (i.e., get the AS main page to load.) I also encounter the same failure mode...

Same here for approximately the past two weeks. Audioshark is the only site where I have this problem. Apple software is up-to-date.

It produced many things Dave, but, none of those have been in the mix yet. I can only hope.:thumbsup:

Not my cache, not on two different machines and my iphone or ipad, using either Chrome, Edge or Firefox or Safari on my iphone or ipad. . Like I finally got access, and I didn't clear any history or cache. Some days it works and some days of late...

Brad, did it produce those chocolaty mids with a powerful bass and an extended upper octave ? :D

Not me Brad, must have been someone else .......

Was it you, Dave, or someone else with the larger scale that you gave rides to grandkids on?

I get it each morning it seems while all the other sites work great, using different browsers and PC's. Like this morning

i use an iFi device as well, the DC Purifier. It connects between Alita and it's computer-type SMPS brick. It also provided an audible improvement in audio quality. Shown here. Well worth the price of about $130 or so... Installed... ...

An Akasa NUC?

Here is my homebrew fanless NUC ROCK server. You can just see the iFi power cleaner there, between the stock wallwart and the NUC. Straight Ethernet into the Switch. My, ah, server room, is actually on the top shelf of my wife’s large walk in...

I love these too. Currently have it directly connected to my dac, and a dedicated lps powering it.
