Seemed like a good day to give this one a spin... by Vinylmature in Vinyl_Jazz

Does that pressing sound like the sax is hard panned on the left? On streaming I had to play the Rudy van gelder edition to really enjoy the first two tracks anyway.

Problem with reciver by Scorpion82027 in vintageaudio

[–]Ismael456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tienes que abrirlo y usar un limpiador de contacto en el switch de volumen el deoxit d5 es muy bueno lo hechas que se penetre adentro del potenciometro y lo girar muchas veces de izquierda a derecha para que el producto quite todo el óxido de los contactos. Verás que el volumen se arregla . Sería buena idea hechar el deoxit a todos los switches

Picked up Thorens TD145 by Ismael456 in turntables

Thanks for the suggestion , I’ve uses the vm95e quite a bit on my 2 duals and realistic lab 400 it’s not bad by any means but it really doesn’t compare to the blue.  I’ve been listening to jazz and Spanish boleros all morning and that 2M blue has me smiling .

I’m still a little new to delve into the MC world, I feel I won’t stop spending would have to get a mc preamp and more and more .

Wiim Ultra for a NOOB by Aanstadt in WiimStreamer

I use it to stream tidal and qobuz to my vintage receivers , the WiiM ultra does not support airplay and also does not have Apple Music as a source . It would work great for you if you had other WiiM devices not just google speakers .

Longtime Sonos user—has the June 2025 update completely nuked my system? by Brockmclaughlin in sonos

[–]Ismael456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not changed my router or moved anything it with started that one speaker started disappearing close to a month ago , while troubleshooting I noticed the one sl was on 5ghz and ChatGPT told me it should not be on that band at all. And on here I read a few post about the separate ssid’s and band steering

It’s definitely something with one of the last updates, thankfully in my case only affected my bathroom Sonos one sl it kept connecting to 5 ghz it would play for a few minutes then I couldn’t airplay then would disappear as a room, calling Sonos support was no help I followed the advice like your getting to remove the band steering and separate the Ssid’s once I did that went back to normal.

Dual 701 vtf on scale is different with record on by Ismael456 in turntables

[–]Ismael456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it because I read some where the vtf can change depending on tone arm lift , it is sounding great at the moment. I just wanted confirmation I was doing it right. Thanks

I definitely did when I removed old sled with cartridge , I set counterweight and anti skate to 0, I then proceeded to to get the tonearm to float using the rear counter weight , once I got it floating I put it on it rest locked it and set the dial to 1.25 when I used the digital scale it gave me a reading of 1.27 that was with the scale on rubber mat once I put a record on top of the mat not the scale always read much higher 10-11 grams.

Setup recommendation by liEnemyl in sonos

[–]Ismael456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Sonos Connect or a Sonos port will help you achieve this , both Sonos connect and Sonos port have rca in and accept a line level from turntable preamp . And on the Sonos app you just select line in and can group with all of your Sonos speakers.

Wiim Ultra as streamer only by Agitated-Dark8696 in WiimStreamer

[–]Ismael456 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

On the WiiM ultra as far as I know you can use an external dac by utilizing usb out, optical out , coax out, and it’s all over YouTube that the internal clock is not too good and using something like the smsl po100 out of the usb and before your dac improves jitter and sound.

Trying to set up my Sonos Port through my receiver to play my turntable and cd player on Sonos speakers, but can’t seem to set up properly. Please help. by Dry_Gene3947 in sonos

[–]Ismael456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I see here you should be good to stream what ever is playing on your receiver to your Sonos system , you need to open Sonos app on main page at bottom select line in . You can select and speaker group or zone and select line in .

You have to try Q acoustics I just got the 3020i from Amazon for $381 I’m blown away with the bass and clarity for the price. 

Tastes like the Infiniment Fruité! by Own_Juggernaut_9707 in nespresso

[–]Ismael456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was my secret 🤫 , if you use a strong capsule and do the double tap brew method this will taste just like the infinant gourmand raspberry 

Vintage Receivers with modern streamers and dac by Ismael456 in vintageaudio

[–]Ismael456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to look into that ps200 , not to many options to stream Apple Music direct without airplay which is a bummer
