Updated Office Setup
I deployed a few new items today in my desktop rig.
Item 1. Cocktail Audio X14 Streamer/ripper/storage/slash
Item 2. KEF LS50 (always wanted a pair of these beauties)
Right now I have the X14 configured as a ROON endpoint device and use the ROON app to control it.
Using analog out on the X14 to my Peachtree Nova 125SE which to me always sounds sweet.
So far so good.
The X14 has a lot of features and functions that I still need to discover and configure but makes for a neat looking desk rig...
The LS50's still are great bang for the buck even after all these years. Amazing bass for a compact bookie and the tweets are pure and with the way they are designed and implemented make them a nice near field choice.
Gonna let it all play overnite and check it again in the morning,,,

Re: I just jumped in to the deep end of the pool.
The same "everyone" says all amps sound alike. Therefore there is no need for the expense of a Levinson, or any other audiophile brand amp. Just buy a "pro" amp and invest the difference in high quality speakers, where the differences among speakers are easily discerned while wearing blindfolds and/or listening to speakers placed behind curtains.
Nooshinjohn's Vinyl Transfer Service.
Hey guys... this SugarCube is doing such a nice job for me in my setup, that I thought I would start to offer the service of transferring your LP's to a digital copy. I can do both FLAC and WAV files, your choice. Click and pop removal as needed. The system will eliminate most defects, but it cannot correct for a record that skips.
Your LP will be lovingly cleaned and dusted, and inserted into a MoFi sleeve when the transfer is complete. They will be played back using my TriangleART table and ClearAudio Golffinger V2 and stored on the USB drive of your choosing. These files can be further editted using whatever software you choose, but the recordings I have been getting need no further work.
Most that offer such services start at 25 bucks an LP. Given how easy this is for me to do, I will do this for just $12.00 per LP. You must of course cover shipping on your LP's and provide a USB drive to store the files. Anticipated turn around time can be as little as 72 hours, but of course will vary based upon the number of records involved. Let me know what I can do to help.

Re: Acoustic panels
I made my panels using ATS Acoustics to obtain the Owens-Corning 703 Insulation and the Burlap Material. Cost effective and an easy DIY project.

Re: Will my system work?
Im counting on that because that look has frozen on her face since last night.
LOL, I know that look well!! Just don't make the almost fatal mistake that I made:
I called the offended down to take a listen one time, I was so proud of the LFE my A9's were putting out during a particular scene, and I told her, "did you feel that??? I took the subs out and that was just the A9's"...…..she looked at me with a less than impressed face and asked, "so why do we need the subs again??"
Talk about fast talking and back peddling, I learned never to make that horrible mistake again
Re: Will my system work?
Or since this AVR has pre-outs add a 2 to 7 chl amps, as your wallet will allow.

Re: More Stuff For Sale
This sure did go south... sorry everyone. Aparently i made a few mistakes here. My intention was to alert other members that i got an item other than it was described. I did not intend to solicite ryans info or personal business. Everyone has been awesome helping me with my speakers and i was looking forward to becoming a part of this community. Please accept my appologies. I am keeping the unit. My concern wasnt money, it was principal.
Apology accepted! I can respect that. Hope you hang around, and get the feeling of community and family. Everyone here that is a regular (I consider myself fairly new here) helps each other out, offers advice, jabs and pokes a bit, all in good fun.
I remember when I first joined making some newbie mistakes. Got spanked a few times. But I learned to watch and listen. Watch how others are treated, listen to the advice given, see the encouragement, and learn from it.
Eventually, got the lay of the land. Was gun shy at first, but eventually started to reach out more. I'll be the first to admit that I have nowhere near the knowledge and experience of most on this forum. That's why I'm here. To learn.
As you can tell, we got Ryan's back. Eventually, if you hang with us, we'll have yours as well. Heck, we all go into the ditch once in while. The key is to stand up to it, admit it, and move forward.
Rock on brother!

Re: Bluesound Node 2
Been a month since I received this Node 2 and its saved me money big time with a Tidal subscription I'm listening to all the new releases without buying them. Im not adding anymore physical stuff to the collection ran out of room years ago. I have listened to a lot of the masters Tidal offers, listened to the new Neil Young Tuscalossa, the new Santana, the new Springsteen. Saving big bucks with this Node plus Streaming Flac files I'm having a blast while enjoying the tunes.
The wife was even happy with the sound of this Node streaming our favorites. I will still purchase the occasional LP and concert Blu Ray but no more CDs, I figure with the thousands of CDs, albums, Flac files, and others along with streaming I'm set for life
