Are the Stereophile setup CD’s any good?

Yes- the Stereophile test CDs are excellent and provide helpful tips/tunes for any system. I own all titles. Have fun!

Happy Listening!

2nd Note:

I concur on the Chesky and XLO discs as well. I own those too.

Happy Listening!

Jimbo,
If you  want to do some reading while awaiting your samplers,
try Sanderssound.com  White Papers. Read the Speaker Placement
article and let me know if it was helpful to you.

Best,

Why would anyone play CD's when they can stream Tidal MQA?  Especially, when you can stream hi-res.  There has to be more noise generated from the CD player than when streaming.  However, I am not an expert like many of you are.

Forgot to mention.  You talk about adjusting your speaker placements and subwoofers.  Why not hire someone to master set your speakers professionally and be done with it.  Master setting really works, but you need to find someone who knows what they are doing.  Soundings in Denver is the only dealer I know of who really knows how to do this.  Their demo was convincing.
