Yes, they are RF so pretty much line of sight but I like them for film as back when I got them BlooToof was not nearly so good as it is now for synching up diaglog. I just lost them in a "storage" room. Kinda like the "Isle of Misfit Audio".
Two more things I like about Apple Music: their weekly “favourites mix” actually makes me smile and sing and dance every week. Only playes music I love from my (extensive) library. Ok I fancy my own familiar stuff… not too keen on new stuff.
Thank you. This is where I most likely will end up; except keeping my files in iTunes and using Music App for streaming.
… and if one idolises Marilyn Manson, as does b####n, one is a sado-subjectivist …On the right are some tubes that I felt were "meh" in the lyr 3. All had low-ish hours on them but were fully burned in. On the left are some NOS Sylvania 6sn7gta's. I liked all of them, least of all the brown "W" version but still better than the newer tubes. Also had a ken rad that I liked better too.
Maybe part of it is a question of bang for the buck. Those Sylvanias I thought were fantastic for the money. The newer tubes on the right, if I recall were in the same price ballpark.
But hey, to each their own! Being a subjectivist is fun

Outside my HEOS set up, this is hands down my favortie internet tuner. I have two in my home and have given several as presents to family and friends. It is excellent and is the easiest device to bring the world of internet radio to even older two channel stereos.
Sorry, but I much prefer the WiiM with easy ready access control via a phone app. No screen to add to the cost and that I would never use.Outside my HEOS set up, this is hands down my favortie internet tuner.

It was also common with CD packaging in the early days to have a warning somewhere. Something along the lines of "Compact Discs are free of background noise. When starting to play a CD do not mistake the silent background for a need to turn the volume up..."Random late night thought. Does anybody else remember when C.D.s were relatively new and they would reissue old albums, but would include a message somewhere on the packaging that said something like, "Digital audio can reveal flaws in the original analog source materials"?
I always thought that was funny. Like was everybody in the control room listening back thinking, "O.K. this kind of sucks, but when it's transferred to vinyl and cassette, it won't really matter"?
Are you referring to the cover photo? That isn't Jason.Wow, Jason knows how to completely relax, when he's working from home...!
The Link has an easy to use Android/iOS compatible application. But if you like the WiiM, that is fine with me! I prefer the simplicity of setup, the presets and the screen is nice as a reference especially so as I use mine for headphone listening. I can also play the same thing in any room that has one of the newer Grace Digital radios and I have those too. It just works. I hear music.
The iFi zen stream is also a nice option for a pure streamer. Tidal and Roon instantly work. Having a dedicated streamer with easy remote use probably doubled our use of the stereo. Worth every penny.
Fair enough! But for those looking for a $78 streamer… WiiM Mini.The Link has an easy to use Android/iOS compatible application. But if you like the WiiM, that is fine with me!

Again, the ease of access via app is there as is a remote control that comes with the unit and of course, the Grace Digital App on my iPhone. I have given these units to senior citizens older than me (hard to believe) because they are comfortable with their older two-channel stereo(s) and they are thrilled with the ease and the screen is a plus as are the presets, etc. Just as you must be with your Wiim!
