Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming

Yet, 50% of the sound is attributable to the room.  Room acoustics are more important on a percentage basis than a modified Lumin1.  The totality of the audio system equipment, media and tweaks is half the sound.  I'd like to know how your sound room was constructed to meet the 50% portion of the absolute best sound in the world?

An excellent selling point for headphones. 

And yes the acoustic has the biggest influence on sound and stage. In the Tru-Fi world acoustic limitations are gone. When we visit a new client or we go to an audio show we go back in time for 20 years of time.

It looks like they all have been sleeping. We will share our Statement Audio Pro-measurement with different manufacturers in 2019. In the last 8 years I have spend by far the most time regarding research in the acoustic influences of rooms.

Statement Audio Pro-measurement is by far the most influantial tool in audio available. And it will bring audio to a much higher level than what is possible at this moment.

Beside the acoustic. We have done a lot of research since 2015 regarding smog, highfrequent noise and magnetism. And also in these parts we made huge steps in using many different accessoires. And we evfn use it in our modifications.

It creates a superior level in effectiveness. The cost are lower than what can be achieved by other tools for the same money.

I have contact a few times a week with a person who owns the biggest technical support company in my country.

They do technical support for: Lumin, Pass Labs, Marantz, Onkyo, Denon Primare, Mark Levinson, Audio Research and many more.

We talk a lot about the parts they use these days inside their amps, sources etc. The parts are getting cheaper each single year. And these are the facts and they count. This is why audio doesn’t get any better.

I think system variations and opinions on this matter will vary greatly. I have two CD players in two audio systems and have compared the sound of those to my Node 2 streaming ripped CDs. Most often the ripped versions sound slightly better, but maybe the noise of the CD spinner or something else is a factor. My NAS is in another room from my audio room. When I stream via the Node 2, I think Tidal albums sound as good as my CD players, but with Tidal MQA albums, it edges out my CD player with about 80% of the content I find. I cannot argue with Bo1972 (poster above) since he is some kinda audio god and knows everything about Tru-fi.

Audio is a profession but most people who work in this would have never understood that. Maybe I never met any person who spend that much time as I did in over 20 yaers of time.

That is not the problem or you cannot blame them. But doing both sound&vision by trial and error proof on facts that they are all lazy and own a limited level in insight and knowledge.

Now when I talk with people who also work for a long time in audio it is very easy to make them all understand that trial and error has no foundation. They all agree, so I ask them; what they F. do you think you are doing.

The 3th of july 1998 what my first day when I started to work fulltime in audio I knew (I was aware) that I had to learn what the dna/footprint is of each individual part. So I started to learn in properties of sound.

Now 20 years later it looks like the whole F. world have been sleeping in those 20 years of time. Because the facts proof (all manufacturers and distributers agree) that they work by trial and error. And now they all understand that is has no F. foundation.

It proofs on facts how low the level in awareness is of most human beings. And if you think or believe that I think and believe I am Jesus or special. You are all wrong. I think that what we do is normal and they way it should be done.

For me the difficult part in life is that I see and experience most things as neutral or as a given. But....I life in a world where most human beings see and experience things as positive or negative. That is why people always defend their system or product when I write something they don’t like to read.

Come on, grow up. We are talking about luxery products. This is not a matter of life and dead. Try to learn to look further. In 2019 we will start helping manufactuters to create better products for consumers. So they will get a much better quality for the money they spend.

If you all think and believe that I do this for myself. Again you are 100% all wrong. I only can do this based on the fact that I want others to get a better result. Without my clients I would have stopped a long time ago. When we say; we take care of all our clienst. This is exactley as I wrote it.

We are there to support them. They can call me each single day. Even at christmas. I will be there to support them whenever they need me. We live in a world who is getting more selfish and egoistic each single year. We loose the connection with eachother.

We want to proof the benefit. We believe in a better world for all people. And those whi have nothing need the most support. It is my personal goal to create a foundation for those who have nothing.

I only could spend all those thousands of hours in both sound&vision so I cooudl one day start my foundation for those who have nothing. All these years this was my goal. Without this I would never had the dedication and effort to do it.

I wish you all a great christmas and a happy 2019. I hope to see you in 2019 so you all can experience what Tru-Fi is. And how Statement Audio Pro-measurement can bring you all to much higher endresult.
