| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Good question. Seems a comparison could occur in the analog output of each to look for small differences that would reveal why there is a sound difference. Same with SS and Tubes, which I think has been done. One think I feel worth mentioning is t... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! @gladmo Good thread. Good music is harder to find then good gear. @bgross Good tracks. See have similar tastes. I use one of those myself. Check out Blacksnake by The Wolf and The Bear. And Crossroads by Calvin Harris. | |
| Audiogon's new security I can't get into the site most of the time now. After the 3rd security quiz I give up. Not sure how I got in this time. The last 6 times I tried it was quiz after quiz and I know I was getting them right - a porpoise and a star fish look pretty... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? @rsa Depending on your system and your ears, yes, you can hear a difference. You don’t have to spend a fortune. Many people are very happy with Blue Jean Cables. As other correctly say, the size of conductor, which equates to a low resistance, ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Look for last year's model being sold for big discounts. There are some amazing deals when the models change over. | |
| To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question Can you connect a computer in place of your streamer and run some tests? Link speed, ping . . . Ethernet cables improving audio is a debated topic. IMO, you are already wired, which is much better then wireless and 70 feet is not very far for ... | |
| Slow Shipping Question - UPS Hi. OP here. I have an update. I contacted UPS and was unable to speak to a human, but the automated system said there was a problem with shipment and I should contact claims. Ouch. Sitting in MD there for 7 days. I think @carlsbad is correct. I c... | |
| Slow Shipping Question - UPS Tracking shows it sitting in Maryland for the last 6 days. I tried to call at lunch but could not get through. I will try again tomorrow. When I ordered I figured a 3-8 day ship window and I will be traveling over Thanksgiving week. Never gues... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System I find that too much toe in reduces seperation or imaging effect in my room. I find I need the speaker more straight toward me with slight inward slant to allow the sound to hit the side wall and reflect back to me from the side. I wish I could ... | |
| The goal of audio reproduction I have come to the conclusion that we need about 4 or 5 audio systems. One tailored to making the music as originally recorded, one to make the music sound the best to us, one for vocals, one for rock, one for classical music . . . | |
| Looking for suggestions on HT Setup Stick with a 5.1 in this room. Try to get an amp with preamp output for the front two channels so you have the option of a separate 2 channel amp in the future and keep options open for a 2 channel system for audio only. Shop last year models. I g... | |
| Headphone „limiter“ on iPhone Is this correct? Someone please correct me if this is wrong. The apple DAC dongle has about a 1 volt (RMS) output max. So multiply the efficiency of your headphones( db/Vrms) times the 1 volt and obtain the volume at max output. I use IEM ... | |
| DAC’s OP, for that price, if true audio quality is the focus, you should find a way to do a blind test. You might not be able to tell the difference between a 2K DAC and a 7K DAC. At these upper price ranges they are all good. At these prices, perhap... | |
| DAC’s You might consider getting a streamer that is separate from the DAC. | |
| Best wireless headphones for flying Not headphones, but for flying I used Shure IEM. They have noise isolation due to their fit. Headphones are too big to pack and carry. |
