    Network switches?

    A network switch is supposed to isolate your audio gear from anything else on your network. These other things on your network can cause noise in your audio gear. I use a cheap Cisco 2960 switch, it cost me $60 used if I remember correctly. I did notice an uplift in sound immediately, I am not...

    Lumin Forum?

    Hi - generally I would agree if it is one of the channels. In this instance it was their SOLE channel. Not sure about their sole channel, they have a presence on Audiophile Style too. Peter gives out help over there too.

    How much interest in the vintage look?

    I just wish I could remember what I did with all my old receivers, amps and speakers? I don’t remember selling any of them, so did I just throw them in the garbage? I do remember one receiver I had, it had a reverberation option (?button) that made the music sound 3-D like. It also had two...

    Fiber Optic Isolation

    I use a Cisco 2960 8-tc (I believe) to convert to fibre, it feeds my Lumin P1 directly.

    Fastest Way to Transfer Playlists and Favorites from Tidal to Qobuz

    Just downloaded the App, thinking I had a solution transferring from Qobuz to Spotify…but they want you to pay a subscription, no thanks.

    speaker monitors....

    A friend has a pair of speakers incoming for demo. I had never heard of them, made in Germany and the enclosure is made of Aluminum. These would match my Nagra amp and Lumin P1 streamer with their industrial finish. Anyone heard these? Mon Acoustic Platinum VC One

    speaker monitors....

    One of the best speakers I have ever owned was a two way floor stander, with no crossover. Wish I never got rid of them…Taksim Reference 3A’s. Just a generic photo, I do have photos of them at home somewhere. Plenty of deep bass, but imaged like a moniter, and easy to drive…what was I thinking...

    Tariff implications.........

    Probably 60%, that would be a guess though. Funny thing is, four of our current jobs that are not on hold are for Tesla.

    Tariff implications.........

    I have been in this trade since high school, so have pretty much done it all too. I am turning 60 in August, so a long time. I am hoping our new PM can work out a so called “deal” with Trump because I do not want to be forced into unemployment. Windsor and Detroit are tied together, and have...

    Tariff implications.........

    Well guys, I live in Windsor Ontario, and I am a CNC Machinist. Almost all of our work is Automotive related and these Tariffs have definitely affected my job/life. We have probably 90% of our work either on hold, or straight out cancelled. What was once a good career is now up in the air...

    I need help troubleshooting my home audio system, please.

    If all you listen to is MP3’s, you are not even listening at the quality the music was made. Sounds like there is no convincing you that there is better sound available to you. Have fun with your gaming computer.

    An audio manufacturer's take on measurements....

    I love this guy, very quirky but makes a lot of sense to me. He also has some interesting videos with his noise reduction devices. I started researching him after I home demoed his Saturn Dac a while back. Really great sounding for the price, but I did not end up buying it. I did buy one of his...

    Kharma DB7-S arrive

    Running my DB 7’s with no grills for a while. If nobody has tried them on Townshend podiums, here is how they look.

    Townshend Seismic Platform Review

    Glad to see they arrived safely. Are you just leaving the plywood as is, or are you adding some kind of proper floor covering? Myself I tried to get the podiums as level as possible before adding my speakers. Only minor adjustments were needed with mine after adding the speakers. Bass and...

    Townshend Seismic Platform Review

    Congrats on the podiums, still loving the upgrade mine have brought. I hope you are aware that you need a specific podium to the size and weight of your speakers?
