| Next step up on the streaming food chain? I recently got a Bricasti M 1 Series II DAC to pair w/ my Innuos Zenith Mk II & OPPO CD player ( used as a transport). It is the first time in my system ( only one I know well enough to say this) that streaming music on Qobuz or playing a CD ... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. All the members of The Band had unique, very high level talent & together made some great music. My Dad bought their second album (the brown one) in 1969 after reading about it in Time magazine & while he liked it, it wasn’t his thing so ... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? Good analogy Audphile1! You just described the difference of most Samsung TV’ s( over saturated colors) vs the better Sony & LG’s. They have a blacker background & more realistic colors which can be very similar to a really good, natural s... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage Another recommendation for Innuos Zenith Mk III. It sounds very good, performs flawlessly & they offer very responsive customer service for any issues or questions of which mine were of course user error…. | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) I don’t know the answers to the other questions by I believe the Cars, Dire Straits & The Police all put out their first stuff in 1978. Sad too because imo, great rock started a deep decline after them & maybe just a few others faded away. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I be not heard many of the speakers mentioned but did really enjoy the TAD compact Evolutions the couple times I listen to them. Incredibly full range & “live music” sounding for such a small speaker. They’re probably about the most pricey of... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Like just about all of Hi Fi equipment, there’s good & less so for every concept & design & this is very subjective anyway. I really enjoy Triode Wire Labs products & sound excellent in my system. They’re hand made by a small compa... | |
| DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer I have & really enjoy an Innuos Zenith Mark II for both streaming Qobuz & ripping my CD’s. I just very recently upgraded to Bricasti M 1 Series II DAC & thrilled with the sound. Huge sound stage, very dynamic,, beautiful tone, dead qu... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? I doubt many have actually gone to the trouble of “A/ B ing” the same wire in the same system w/ spades & bananas & I know I haven’t. My experience is that good quality bananas stay put & spades often don’t & require regular tighte... | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Rogers High Fidelity. Hand made in MA, point to point wired w/very high quality components, wiring & chassis backed by a Lifetime Warranty! And they sound really good too! Not the cheapest of the other nice ones mentioned but some reasonably ... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. As we know, JBL is amongst the most successful audio companies of all time both on the professional & home audio sectors. They’re smart folks who know what they’re doing & it’s nice to see them trying to turn a younger crowd onto better qu... | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? Hilarious Nonoise but it also gave me minor PTSD if one of my cats literally running across my Basis turntable in use destroying my upper level ZYX cartridge in the process. Cats are escorted out of the room anytime the turntables dust cover gets ... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others “Tommy” by the Who is a brilliant work of art by one of the great rock bands ever. It is truly a rock opera & has much orchestration. The original recording isn’t bad & the reissue was cleaned up a bit & overall better sounding. Turn o... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles I own a restaurant & was in need of a new dining room manager several months ago & received many applications on Indeed which is a great tool for such needs. Some of the applications were well written & impressive ( which doesn’t neces... | |
| Volti Voyage - New Razz Nice to hear all that. I met Greg at the Capitol Audiofest a few years back, purchased his Rival speakers & couldn’t be happier! I also really feel good about supporting small, more “ local” artisan craftsman whenever possible. There aren’t t... |
