| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? Thanks all. Good info. My issue is not so much about a poor quality recording, just that some good recordings are coming across with a bit too much bass energy, while other sound good, even when they have bass content. It may be the room or spe... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @danager & @tablejockey "Optimize the bass for each song or shoot for an average that sounds best for most and live with it." I identify with this. I listen to music that ranges from electronic dance or club music to solo vocals and it is ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio or Revel F208? I concur as to the F208s. I had a pair, well, still have them but not seeing much use. Seem a bit big for a typical sized bedroom. | |
| How does speaker placement affect the width of the soundstage? I am no expert but I can offer that in my room toeing in the speakers more reduces the width of the soundstage and re-enforces the center image. Just the opposite with toeing out the speakers. I prefer a more toed out positioning but not so much... | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... @audphile1 Thank you for your helpful suggestions. We have been doing option 1, which works well, just not ideal to go through that process because I have to open the other app, search to find the song (Qobuz has a 'creative' search engine), then... | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... In follow-up to my post of 2-21-2024 and to provide info to others who use playlists, the conductor app is still having issues. It crashes once per session, which is easy to fix with a restart. More troubling is that I still can not add a track ... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama One thing to keep in mind is that the 'reviewer' is typically a business or a person doing the reviews to make money, which means saying things or creating content that maximizes hits or views. Re-framed the question can be "can one business disp... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? @ghdprentice Always gives good advice. To take it a step further up the chain, I would first let us know the type of music you like. In my opinion, certain speakers work better with certain music types. Based on the type of music you listen to ... | |
| which gain setting for Bryston 4b cubed power amp using my RME ADI-2 DAC FS? Use the one that sound better at the volume you listen. My amp has gain settings as well and it depends on the preamp and your speakers. | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? Of the technical reviews and test I have read, the filtering applies mostly to very high frequencies outside the audible band. Keep in mind that the power supply inside the audio device should block or remove the EMI/RFI as it converts the AC sig... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @rischa Have you considered SS amp with a tube pre? For anyone to comment to the OP, would that give a similar tube sound, but with better speaker control / dynamics? Or does the sound change when comparing tube amp with SS pre verses SS amp... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line As others have mentioned, the Conductor App can be an issue for some people. For me, I can not add a song to a Qobuz playlist and support is still troublshooting. Original ticket was a month or so ago. In addition, the program crashes once per se... | |
| My end game speaks. @skydog25 You are in a wonderful situation. I have not listened to those exact speakers. I have listed to the Magicos A series and the S series a step down at two dealers (short sessions) and I have spent alot of time listening to the Focal Sca... | |
| A listening test of two power amps @surdo Great post and listening exercise. I listen with my ears and not my eyes or wallet. That being said, there is no wrong answer because everyone hears differently and prefers a different sound profile. I will listen this weekend on my ma... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth @croissantfoxwine My suggestion is to swap out the Node for a streamer that is at a level that matches the rest of your system. The helpful advice I received was that I need to start with an ideal signal before I start changing other things around... |
