| Physical degradation of CD's Physical CD degradation does happen, but media should last 100 years+. If you are concerned, you can always rip into file then burn another copy. Or just play the file. | |
| Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date? It depends if you are talking vintage, old design but new parts or new design. Vintage eventually will need parts replaced, esp caps. "Old" design still manufactured with new parts, it is not like they use caps or resistors from 60s. | |
| Home network router question Always ask yourself question why would this help or improve? | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully @deep_333 - this is exactly where bullies shine. Variable volume, phase, cut frequency AND parametric EQ on top. | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully @p05129 - somewhat true :-) Except it is also possible with Dirac (my HT system has full size speakers (Tannoy D700), no sub and has good bass at normal volumes. BUT - I tried to add Dirac capable EQ (MiniDSP SHD) into digital chain (before the DA... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @dwest1023 - I am still evaluating. Obviously, when controls are active. I don't hear difference when everything is at zero or when bypass is on. I will give it some time. As I said, there is value anyway, I'd rather have poor recording corrected ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 My take is the room. Could be amp if it does not provide enough current for a demanding speaker. Cables - no. They may change sound a bit, but they can't fix lack of response. I'd check impedance curve - how easy are speakers to drive? Do they dip... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully @moonwatcher - since you can dial sub part, you can add enough bass for YOUR level of listening, compensating for the typical loudness curve loss and room issues. I only wish they would have remote with different presets :-) so I could flip betwee... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully @quickjack1234 - you suggest that I delete MY thread? Why would I do that? So you would come and pollute it again? You were reported. | |
| Schiit Loki Max? I am evaluating it right now. So far I am leaning towards returning it as it does introduce a veil when connected to Accuphase E-650 tape loop. Slight, but it is there. On the other hand, I may keep it for use where recording quality is not great ... | |

| A brief review of GR Research Bully Admins need to clean these. Have little to do with my OP. @quickjack1234 - please remove yours. If you want to post your own, please do. But my thread was on a specific subject, so don't hijack the thread. If you wont remove, I'll report it to ad... | |
| USB to external DAC, Ibasso DX160 DAP Looking at specs it is unlikely it supports USB-C. Try regular USB-A cable and port. | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps Remember that Pass is MOSFET which is a closest solid state to tubes. It does have nice ’house’ sound which is on a warmer (just a little bit) side. There is also Accuphase which may be regular or Class A MOSFET, like Pass. | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? I define detailed not by amount of treble but rather when attack and decay are correct and not smeared in time. So sound is not muddied by the fact that notes sound longer than they should be and do not start overlaping with other. |
