| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @calvinj - totally. All I am saying, poorly measuring speaker is like EQ and may sound great with some recording and some rooms. Completely flat speaker sounds good in properly treated room. My setup is NOT flat intentionally, it is set up to MY t... | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre Why not use what they employ in professional recording and mixing studios | |
| Fiber or Eithenet Remember, data packets pass fiber, electric, satellite on their way to you. There is no "stream", it is all sliced and diced and sent out of order mixed with all other crap. | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Costco | |
| Help With Streamer - Aurender, Auralic, HIFI Rose, Eversolo A10, etc. Buy desktop machine and run Tidal? For like $2K you can get WAY more powerful machine than those puny ARMs in streamers. And you can use machine for other things too. What’s wrong with iMac. Or Macbook Air if space is limited. | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS Why, cables will greatly affect old type tube equipment where input or output impedance is reactive. Poorly designed power supplies will be sensitive to power cables. Now, Ethernet cables do not matter. Seriously. :-) | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS Basic engineering. When you are buying a car or a home, do you look for quality construction and actual measured performance. Or do you trust tales of "italian soul"? Same thing. Poorly designer equipment will still sound great with some music in... | |
| What would you save in a fire? Money. Insure everything else, ask for a rider. | |
| Let's talk about Silver... Biggest effect will be in simple tube equipment like Audio Note. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy I listen to primarily rock and Wilsons never impressed me. No, I do not crank to 11 some JBL and rock is actually challenging for many speakers. Much easier to voice for high quality vocal with couple of instruments than to less than stellar recor... | |
| Fiber or Eithenet Ethernet is fine. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Absolutely not. They are simple ARM computers. And trust me, there are no error in code execution, linear power supply or not. Just don’t use SPDIF. Use quality DAC which properly buffers USB and shielded cables. No, not $$$ ones. | |
| Equipment insurance coverage Dunno I have a rider for photo equipment, why would electronics be any different. | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer @audphile1 - again, you keep talking about connection to DAC. A separate peripheral interface. I am asking about the streamer itself. Modern DAC USB is no different from USB hard drive, it is 100% reliable with no bits lost anywhere. Receiving dat... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer @mclinnguy - where is Net there? Article is about analog - SPDIF to DAC connection. I am talking about streaming which is Internet transfers. There is no bit stream from server to you. Bits travel in packets out of order. |
