| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Never heard of this band before. I just listened to a couple of tracks off of Cabretta and it’s good. Has an Elvis Costello vibe to it. Or maybe Costello has a Mink Deville vibe 😀. | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? Some very thoughtful answers here, but imho I think you likely already know the answer to your question. You’ve listened to some outstanding and expensive gear and in your room and to your ears you hear very little difference. I say trust your e... | |
| current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you Congratulations! That's a great combination, I'm sure it sounds fantastic! | |
| What happened to Mytek? Asking a question is nowhere near starting a rumor. Anyone who reads the OP and thinks he’s stating that something happened to Mytek needs to work on reading comprehension. | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? @ghdprentice @yogiboy doesn’t the I-50 require a technician to bias the unit when tubes are replaced? I was seriously interested in this integrated as a first foray into tubes but this was the main reason I shelved the idea. Maybe it’s not a big... | |

| Best audio prank ideas I know it’s all in good fun but messing with a man’s audio system is like messing with his car, it’s just not done. I suppose it’s true for women as well who pursue those interests. | |
| Listening My setup is in a dedicated listening room (with a nook dedicated to work desk). I have music on all day pretty much everyday as soon as I am up. When I’m done working or it’s the weekend it’s in the chair in the sweet spot for critical listening... | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? That was good, thanks for that I quite enjoyed it. | |
| Who is Roon? @devinplombier it did cross my mind that you might have been sarcastic. Unfortunately it’s tough sometimes to make that clear. Sorry about that! | |
| Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro I use a MacBook Pro via usb to my Pontus II. I use the Qobuz app that runs directly on my Mac OS. No iPhone or AirPlay required. The Qobuz app will tell you what bit depth and sampling rate the song you are listening to is and your DAC should r... | |
| Who is Roon? John Galt’s roommate. Roon is not open source / free, therefore it is superior. This is a false statement. Plenty of open source software that is just performant and reliable as any proprietary software. sorry I have nothing to add about ... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? How low are low levels? I listen somewhat near field at around 50-60 db and get very good results from my Fritz Rev 7s. Not sure how loudly you listen but 50-60 is about the level of a normal conversation. I have a 5 band equalizer on my integr... | |
