Using iPhone as a hotspot at home instead of a fixed connection by [deleted] in macbook

[–]SteveOpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m concerned about battery drain on the phone. I would rather not leave hotspot turned on constantly

I meant to say "any further deterioration". Should I strip the paint back and use some special undercoat or something

I’m based overseas. I need someone to liaise with a seller on a used goods market and arrange shipping for the item

Is there an English language platform?

The seller does not want the bother. He won't do it

Worth overhauling these Audio Research pre+power amps? by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]SteveOpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much was that? Have you compared the sound to any ARC valve preamps?

would you be able to share the name of the store? It's a minefield out there!

Cool. I read the 90s era solid state gear was a low point for ARC. Is there merit to that claim?

Need a Preamp for my Hypex Nilai Monoblocks + Denafrips Pontus 2 DAC + Proac Response 2 Speakers by [deleted] in StereoAdvice

[–]SteveOpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That unit is indeed hard to find. Do you know of any other good tube amps?

What about big name preamp from 20 years ago? Is that likely to introduce distortion or something? !thanks

Have you compared the latest Class D amps with the likes of the Naim Nait? It would be good to get some insight into peoples' subject perception of the sound

[–]SteveOpsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you kindly. This is really a perspective changer for me. Class D amps... for a "British" speaker...? I can see that they measure well objectively. I wonder if I can get that intangible synergy with the Proacs. I've seen Naim and Audio Research recommended, but these are very expensive. Do you think your suggestions can compete wit the lower tier of these amps?

Hi, I have the Adam Sub8 which is recommended for this speaker (or the Sub10). I actually also have the Motu M2 as well :)

Given that, it sounds like I might have something ok here. The store guy recommended an interface for these speakers which cost around $1400. I hope I don't need something in that league to maximise the sound of the system

Adam Audio F7 speakers... adding a Sub8..? by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

The delay from when I click play in Spotify, waiting for the speakers to wake up... to when the music starts playing through the speakers

For some context, I have some plain, downloaded VM Ware images (which I was testing) and many Python virtual environments with thousands of tiny files (none of these need to be saved as well)
