| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @mahgister I know full well what timbre is since music theory in collegeYour mansplaining or copying out of a book is irrelevant and adolescent. Most of what you talk about is rambling gibberish suitable for an abnormal psych textbook but not here... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Here’s another point worth consideringmicrophones and instruments are analog (infinite in that sense). Sampling no matter how good is not infinite (if you don’t get the 3/4D aspect). There’s no instrument but the human ear for this (yet).BTW the ... | |

Regardless of the format, albums recorded with instruments played separately have a similar problem - lacking vita... | |
| Speaker suggestions under 4k I second the Dali choice. I got my Sonus Fabre Sonetto VIIIs for $4k, they sound INCREDIBLE, but that’s a hard deal to beat. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Anything without a rear port really... $ for $ I haven't heard anything better than Sonus Faber Sonetto's yet - I have the VIIIs - the port is on the bottom of the tower. | |
| Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? Bluesounds have amazing quality for the price. You probably have a bad unit or weak cables. I have been running a Bluesound Node 2i for a year with high End Nordst Cables. Last week I upgraded to a DirectStream with Kimber XLR > Schiit Freya+ ... | |
| Great Intergated amp with great built in DAC Schiit Raggnorak Is probably the best value | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick Sonus Faber Sonettos. I have the VIIIs bought at $4K (hard to find that great of a deal maybe). Easily beating Focal and Revel in this price range plus anything else I’ve heard; Dali are thee closest. Deep, fast bass extension, super clear mid, ac... |
