With a Vodafone Station it is like:

Has anyone heard from u252agz? Hopefully the 'radio silence' is because he's busy enjoying his Kallas, and not because he's locked himself out of the Internet... o_0
Maybe to start a rescue attempt?

All my music devices I configure with static addresses I have chosen from the range 30-39.
Another vote for such an arrangement, mine is very similar.
What works best for me is: "Using DHCP with manual address".

AFAIK, Sagatun Stereo (SS) is superior to KK and SK is superior to SS.

Re: Spotify Stream On Event

Maybe an indirect sign that something is happening regarding lossless is that Spotify raised the minimum system requirements for MacOS desktop app from 10.13 to 10.15.

Re: Forum issues are discussed here

Without wanting to stir up a hornets nest I think an old thread should be closed one year after the last post or even earlier. If there are really new aspects to an old topic it is better to start a new thread with a new subject. That doesn't mean that the valuable information in these old threads i...

I don't understand how this new member's replies have engendered an exaggerated response. I apologize if I breached the forum rules with my comment about audiophile fuses. Some "audiophile" fuses are now priced north of 3k for one fuse and I dislike the hype about "audiophile" luxury products, not ...

What if the first, or first few posts by a new member had to be approved by a moderator before going live on the forum?

We need to find the right balance, and avoid being exclusive. I agree, let us talking about finding the right balance.

Re: Is there a “best” test track?

If doing A/B comparisons, I’d rather use a song I’m not too familiar with otherwise it’s too easy to fill in the missing bits because you’re so familiar with the piece. I get your point but if you want to evaluate a system on an audio show for example you need one or more reference tracks for compa...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here

I think the more the forum settings are for prevention of troll attacks the less is the workload for moderators. Locking of old threads for newbies is directed to do prevention since the troll can not post there and then there is no need for the moderator to react. Further I see no issues for newbie...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here

I agree with tokenbrit, why not just ban the antagonist/troll? Do we really need to make it harder to post in old thread? Prevention is much better than to react after necroposting/spamming. So just to ban is not a such good idea since the troll most probably will leave anyway. And to unlock an old...

Harman International think so. https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/feature-articles/1259-dr-sean-olive-on-35-years-of-fast-car IIRC, TC's first album was released in the same year as Linn's Ekos, so all Linn retailers did the Ekos/Ittok comparisons with this song, funny.
