    Humminguru quick thoughts

    Ok, see JICO SAS. Reason for asking is to understand your gains in playback results and me pondering trying a Shibata cartridge like the AT33Sa over current AT33PTG/II while using the HummingGuru. Playback are with vinyl that was played with DL103 and some new.

    FIIO R7 Incoming

    I bought one directly from FIIO seller, shortly after release (when only black was available), white though does look rather nice. Several firmware upgrades have been released which should deter from fears of what some consider an slightly outdated andoid version it is based on, here however it...

    Your favourite cd player ?

    Using Shanling ET3 with DSD upsampling with HDMI I2S output to D/A. Their CD-T35 looks out of this world. The SMSL 200 for analog output also looks very promising.

    Bookshelf Speakers for specific placement

    Most infinite baffle speakers and some may argue those with front firing ports should work. Some are designed with bookshelf placement in mind however, look at Harbeth P3 or a LS3/5a type design. Guru is another example.

    Lavazza Coffee is back (for now)

    I can image now there is a rush of coffee aficionados racing to PnP Centurion as we speak to take advantage of the deal. By the time I get there the shelves will be empty.

    Computer & Music

    I suggest you try Logitech Media Server installed on the computer and perhaps also explore the use of a single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi 4/5 with any Ropieee/XL/Volumio based OS with additional HAT (DAC/SPDIF) if not having USB DAC input at your disposal. Using wired networking will...

    So what’s the deal here!

    The Harbeth range scales from the P3's, having had both P3 and the last XD model with M30, C7 and HL5+ once hearing the M30.1's the P3's as good as they are the M30.1's are more. Same applies to the other models. So ideally room size and proximity should be determining factor (i.e near field...

    Issue with predator

    Testing again with fresh valves could greatly assist. Testing the resistors with one leg un-soldered may be next more evasion action but as they could already be fragile crack more but this may just be visual (superficial) deterioration?. Sure more replies from other forum members may also help.

    Speaker Lifespan

    Really determined by specific material decisions by designer and what were available and used by some manufacturers. This also applies to budget driven choices in the some enclosures that really couldn't last especially coastal weather. Don't discard abuse also.

    Streamer DAC suggestions

    A Fiio R7 with external power supply really can’t be overlooked. I however see wanting XLR outputs and Tidal connect as opposites. A wired streaming protocol will give better results than a Wi-Fi protocol. A Logitech Transporter will also give great sound, in a LMS/squeezebox or ROON server setup.

    Advice on LAN/Ethernet cable

    No, use the money elsewhere. Like on isolation if USB not isolated. Like iFi Purifier.

    Raspberry Pi Spotify Streamer - USB audio out

    Sharing critical details as which OS you installed will assist greatly. Perhaps all that is needed is to swap the logical number of audio output device.
