| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! I was attempting to explain the significance of this event to my wife. I told her that it was like KMart acquiring Norman Marcus | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! It’s a sad day. It’s as absurd as appointing Dr. Oz to an important Cabinet position. Oh wait, did those two things happen in the same week? | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC I haven’t heard either the the Prima Luna or the Wii but it should be a major upgrade | |
| Impulsive drive to buy the EverSolo dmp-A8 or should I wait ? That is the question. That’s what I keep hearing about Eversolo; lack of support | |
| New Eversolo DMP-A10 @exley_99 I tried using that Chinese tariff argument on my wife to justify a new round of equipment upgrades but she was unimpressed | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? I have a few DSD downloads but primarily I listen to DSD from SACD, outputting the DSD layer over HDMI from my Oppo 105 into the Bryston DAC3 HDMI input. Obviously it will depend on the recording but particularly with chamber ensembles on a label... | |
| Receiver Too Weak? The dialog in video can challenge even a very high end HT or 2 channel system. I improved it by upping the output put from the center channel in the settings of the AVR. Since center channels are mainly for speech and not much involved with musi... | |

| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? I was suggesting getting a traditional integrated amp-no DAC- not complete separates | |
| classical quartet watching/listening Try the Belcea SQ Beethoven. Available Blu Ray, CD, YT | |
| classical quartet watching/listening Do you have a DVD or Blu Ray player? There are concert videos of string quartets. I don’t have a Qobuz subscription. It should not be difficult to search YT for SQs, find one that is on Qobuz and search the usual CD sellers to see if the CD is ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings Yeah the sub number is a controversy in and of itself. The dogma used to be that bass is unidirectional and one sub would do it. Now the prevailing trend is one sub per speaker. I have room limitations in my 2 channel and one sub does it for me... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @goofyfoot Apology accepted. I think that some of your prejudices, or pre conceptions, are going to interfere with your goals here. These prejudices aren’t unreasonable but let’s explore them. The price of a product such as Minidsp relative... | |
| Dirac without losing resolution I have a Minidsp. Most recordings that I listen to are not above 24/192. For the ones that are, I use a different input on the DAC than the one that connects to the MiniDSP. Yes, I lose the DSP benefits with those recordings but they still soun... |
