Does anyone know what has happened to the Blue Note Review series?

Are you going to move sometime in the future and want to move them easily. Here is a modular solution. I am not in anyway affiliated with Tony. Just a customer who has bought from him repeatedly over 10 years: tonyswoodshop.com

Thanks for your analysis. Unfortunately, it will be costing me some $$$$. LOL.

So what does the Squeezebox do then that you couldn't do with Jan's potential set-up?
External Harddrives -> MacBook (or any old computer for that matter) -> DAC -> Stereo Amp
I've had a Squeezebox for a couple of years now. My setup looks like this:
External HD -> iMac -> Squeezebox -> Stereo Amp
In my situation, the Squeezebox acts as a DAC that displays song info. Are you using yours solely as a display?
Thanks.
It enables me to have my computer in another location away from my stereo.
I'm using my squeezeboxes wirelessly in 2 rooms. Only 1 of them has the external DAC. The Squeezebox is acting as a transport. It is receiving the digital music from my network, then this music is being sent to my DAC using a Coax cable. The DAC is converting the digital signal to music I send the music to my amp and speakers via analog interconnects. The analog output of the Squeezebox is turned off. This is analogous to those that use their CD player as a transport and send the digital info to an external DAC to be processed,
-
I don't know much about this stuff. Are you saying that these DACs do more for the music than the Burr-Brown in the Squeezebox.
Yes. It does sound better than than the internal DAC. The sound is more natural and not as sharp with the Musiland. It seems to almost sound analog. However, it still does not sound as good as my Classe CDP 1.5 player.
-
I am considering ripping a thousand or so cds in uncompressed format to a very large harddrive (or a couple of very large harddrives). I would then like to set up the following configuration:
External Harddrives -> MacBook -> DAC -> Stereo Amp.
Obviously the sonic success of this project is entirely dependant on the quality of the DAC. Any recommendations? I can go as high as a couple grand, but only if the marginal benefit warrants it.
Thanks!
These guys have some nice DACs:
I'm not affiliated and have never ordered anything from them.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that you will probably need a DAC with USB input capability. Most DACs do not but your choices are expanding rapidly.
I just bought a Musiland MD10 DAC 2 weeks ago. I am using it via a coax cable connected to my Squeezebox. It has USB capability. I ordered it from www.pacificvalve.us. So far I am very pleased with the sound. It looks cool too!!!!
There is a review on it in the latest issue of Affordable Audio at www.affordableaudio.org, For $300 it can't be beat.

I forgot this one: highly reccomeded http://www.ttvj.com/index.php?main_page=pr...products_id=765
I think Sidewinder has a Dynavector on his tt, he's very happy with it.
and this http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_det...m?Title_ID=9442
In the States, the Dynavector is the cart that is usually mentioned when the P3 is mentioned. I love mine!!!!!

IMHO, a record cleaning machine is the most effective upgrade for those who love their vinyl. Audio Advisor sells a budget model made by Nitty Gritty on their website.
If you are on a real tight budget there is a vacuum machine made by nitty gritty but sold by KAB that you supply the vacuum cleaner @www.kabusa.com.

Obviously in wall speakers disappear into the room, making it easier to decorate.
However, installation is not as easy as bookshelf speakers where anyone can run wires outside of the wall. Value per $, is not as easily obtainable if you take this into account.
She could look into even smaller monitors. Totem Mites or Dreamcatchers are extremely small though more expensive than EPOs and she might like their furniture like finish. They also sound nice!!!!
Just my $.02.

Picked-up the Paradigm Studion 20s yesterday & spent last evening and this morning listening to them. Very pleased so far.
I think the you will enjoy the 20s. The studio series are so much more refined than the Monitor series. IMHO, the monitors are best as economy speakers for home theater.
-
How about checking out the Arcam line?
-
Totem Rainmakers @$950 are also great for jazz.
-
Onix XL-S speakers are getting raves all over. Less than $300/pair.
http://www.av123.com/products_category_bra...rs&brand=55
I am trying to justify buying a pair myself.
-
I got my sister a Arcam solo integrated amp-cd player and now she decided she needs new speakers to replace the bookshelf speakers she was using. Anyone with recommendations please post. Must be floor standing and sound good against wall . Price range 300 - 700 best. thanks.
How about used Totem Arros. New are ~$1100.

Just noticed this. I don't frequent organissimo often. Here is a review and photos of the concert. Review by writer Jay Hunter. Pics by yours truly. One of the last musical events I covered before the COVID 19 shut everything down. Hope you like it.
