| Speaker and amp advice needed BDW, some time ago I have changed the placment of the floor stand speakers in moving them about 1 feet closer to the listening position and away from the back wall. So, the pic with the speakers in the virtual system is outdated. | |
| Speaker and amp advice needed OP, do you have sloping roofs on both sides? And do you have two walls or one open wall on your 18ft? If yes, your room is very similar to mine (which is upstairs, have a look into my virtual system). In this case, both floor stands and bookshelf... | |
| Nearfield listening - once more @hiphiphan, I'm with you regarding your first paragraph. That's what I experienced for the first time (coincidentally) just 3 weeks ago when listening to my surround speakers (Monitor Audio Studio 5): - LS are standing in line with my head, s... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing My above comment refers to DSD output. Output trough HDMI is of course possible, but DSD will be converted to PCM. | |
| SACD is VERY confusing The SACD multi channel layer of a SACD disc can be played - if the SACD player has a full set of 5.1 channel RCA analog outputs - and the AV Receiver has a full set of 5.1 channel RCA analog inputs AFAIK, multi channel doesn't work with a HD... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @tony1954 'Truth be told, if there was an easy method of sorting, cataloguing and selling a 1,000+ albums, I would have pulled the plug years ago.' You may list and sell your record collection on this site (If it is easy enough for you) http... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? If - you do not use your analog system anymore for good, never, ever again - you will not miss looking at your records (or even the nice looking rig) - you don't want spending time to fiddle with the set up and cartridges - you will not get '... | |

| Is there a way to switch one set of speakers between two sound systems? @jrwaudio +1 Same with me. Different amps, different loudspeaker cables. Swap takes short of a minute. | |
| Is there a way to switch one set of speakers between two sound systems? @johnread57 +1 I do use 2 pairs of separate speaker cables, every pair is constantly connected to the amps. In this case, I only have to swap cables at the speakers. With bananas, it is a no brainer. I do this about 2-3 times a week. If the speak... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? from tvrgeek: Maybe folks should look these terms up in the dictionary. Differences YES. Important enough to spend money on? Personal but probably. This I challenge: Even current chip based entry level the differences are barely discernable. Abo... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings Nice listings.. By chance, I stumbled over this album which I could acquire from an elder man who gave away all his vinyl records. And I like it very much indeed. Because of the 'density' I feel when listening to the vinyl record. | |

| I downloaded high-res files and... I am using a Fiio X7 MKII and a Fiio M9. Actually, M11S, M11+, M15S or M17 are on the market. There are many DAP's of other brands which will do nicely as well (Astell&Kern, Shanling, iBasso), provided that they have digital out. If you will... | |
| I downloaded high-res files and... OP, how about using a DAP with a micro SD coax-connected to your CD9? |
