| What exactly is ROON? Another choice to investigate would be Audirvana. A better way to stream from a laptop.If you use a computer to stream music this software has an exclusive mode that bypasses the crappy volume controls and allows for a straight signal to an extern... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal The TV sends PCM straight down optical cable to the external DAC/ then pre-amp for volume control/ then amp. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Qobuz also has an app for your TV. There is a resolution setting of either MP3 or CD quality if your TV is capable of supporting higher resolution. I find the sound to be very satisfactory on my Samsung. | |
| Have Audiophiles lost their CIVILTY! The 'Dunning-Kruger effect' is the best explaination I've heard. The less you know, the more you think you're right. (as shown in the comments above.) “The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger Club is that you don't know you are a member of the Dunni... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Some interesting ASR reviews and tid-bits but that's where it ends. I really don't like the condecending attitude. A rather grumpy group of 'know it alls' looking to show their superiority to the crowd. Your 'opinion' is NOT welcome and they wil... | |
| My Gray Experience Sorry to hear such a frustrating story and the end result is that they will get away with it ! Did you pay on a credit card? Refuse payment, that will get their attention. These shipping fees are out of control. Online shopping is a whole new ... | |
| ?Wireless all in one speakers Swan M300 MKII 3 way. Set them up for my brother-in-law recently and they sound incredible. He loves them and they look quite nice. Paired them with an SVS subwoofer. | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Townhouses and stereos sometimes don't mix well. Living too close to other people causes a lack of volume and dynamics. | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! The main point to realise is that that no matter what volume control you use, the less you resist or "apply the brakes" the better. The main job of a pre-amp is signal resistance with as little degradation to the signal as possible. Matching a pr... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! @ghdprentice I never heard that one... It is definitely not true in my experience. Do you use a potentiometer volume control? Most people do. Your amp runs full open and the voltage must be REDUCED to normal listening levels. Any type of pot... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! The volume knob is like applying the brakes. Restricting the frequency. The higher the volume knob the more resolution is allowed to flow. So, the pre-amp volume knob should be as high as possible within a comfortable range. Of course there's a li... | |
| Replacement same model tweeters like a major component upgrade AMT tweeters are far more delicate and easily prone to injury. I've often womdered about the crittical tension required for proper operation. There would be no way of knowing if the tweeter is out of spec. The effects of humidity, hot to cold or a... | |

| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? I don't even think about getting new stuff. The music is the main source of enjoyment. Specifically new music discovery I find entertaining. Like hunting. Sometimes a week or two will pass without turning on the stereo. No guilt and the desire re... | |
| Reference Tracks? My favorite female track for imaging and simple voice purity.... Album..."Jacintha is her name" Track... 'something cool'. For overall dynamics and bass... Album... "Touch YELLO" Track... 'Kiss in Blue' both male and female voice purity OR ... |
