| Turntable upgrade I would look at VPI, Clear Audio, Linn, LP12, and the Well Tempered Amadeus just got a great review. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? The sound quality you get is a result of the components you choose. If you choose poorly you can get vinyl that sounds harsh and trebly and digital that is warm and musical... although it is still easier to get the opposite as cheap components ten... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? Absolutely. I went to college in the 70's and loved Rock. Then in the 80's I discovered fusion jazz and explored it finding jazz... then in the 80's classical, then the 90's world, and in 2000's electronic... exploring deeply and finding the core ... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @toronto416 +1 Yep. Sound quality of music... dozens of variables on inputs and dozens on outputs. So many that measurement tend to be such gross oversimplifications that they don't conform to the sound you hear a bit. There is a reason ... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! @mahgister Well... I went back and watched the whole video. Twelve minutes I will not get back. Let me paraphrase... "Wahhhh, things are changing and I don’t like it. Wahhhhh." The old days were so much better... I was so privileged to not be ab... | |
| No response from Aurender customer support Aurrender has been incredibly responsive to me. I have always contacted them through the conductor app. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. There are many reasons to fire straight forward, many have nothing to do with hot tweeters. | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! I had to quit at the "Music is too easy to make". That means that people that have a talent to create music but not the technical skill to play an instrument now have an opportunity to create unique great music. So, while that may have caused fl... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer If you use a USB connection between the Streamer and DAC then the DAC reclocks the signal, if you use SP/DIF or AES then it does not (a bit simplified). But as Bliss said, you get better isolation and power management etc with separates all other ... | |
| Best 4K Player in Terms of Transport Mechanism It is like audio. Physical media is dying out. Switch to streaming and you can avoid a mechanical device that is likely to break. Streamers are inexpensive. I standardized on Apple for purchase. But we have Amazon, and several other services. | |
| Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Sounds like you are stuck. Buy a new amp or whatever it was and send in for repair. Sell it when it returns. | |
| What would you save in a fire? I have a small briefcase fire safe with a backup of all my photos (125,000) and our wills and other papers. Nothing else other than dogs and partner are important. | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I always get mine from Best Buy. I get top of the line Sony OLED. They... at least as of a couple years ago had the lowest failure rates and best picture... also most expensive. With the Bravia they have the longest warrantee and best service. Min... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I have Sonus Faber Amati Traditional. The starting point is typically suggested to be to have the beams cross behind your head a foot or so. I started there. Then slowly over six months moved the toe in out to be more perpendicular until they were... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... My experience is that low cost silver interconnects tend to be harsh and bright. As you move up in quality that completely disappears. For instance I have had a set of real Nordost Odin 2 on my system and they were not even remotely bright or hars... |
