| Inexpensive headphone amplifier while I don't have a Vali, I have several other pieces of Schiit gear and really like the way they approach things, and their sound quality is excellent, especially so for the price points of their various units. The ONLY drawback I've bumped in... | |
| bulbs Forget the cost of the bulb. I have no clue as to how hard it is to get to the bulb. I had a friend some years ago who had a car where they had to undo the engine mounts and hike up the engine to change the spark plugs. Not too much for parts, bu... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? No urge to debate anyone, but in any event, that bit perfect data has to be translated into analog. That's what "DAC" stands for -- "Digital to Analog Converter." My two cents is its the analog section that has the biggest impact on sound. Even ... | |
| Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+ Ohm Speakers has been in business since the 1970s and have a devoted following. They have a unique design and are direct sales only. However, they offer a 120 day home trial -- you just pay shipping if you send them back. Their web site is https:... | |
| Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+ I have a pair of Ohm 1000s in a room a shade larger than yours and use an Aegir with a Lyr as a preamp and am very pleased with the sound. While I'm not in a condo, I'm not a head-banger and 85 dB or so is my max volume. The Aegir gets there nicel... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) I have a set of Ohm 1000s and they do a fantastic job of letting me enjoy my eclectic taste in music without fail. I've heard a lot of speakers over the decades and have no urge to make any changes. | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? I have a VW ID4 electric with a Grizzl-E level 2 EVSE (charger) in my garage. It does not affect the sound quality of my stereo system. | |
| Why still USB 2.0? Plenty of people in the "more is ALWAYS better" camp. Doesn't surprise me in the least that some think having a transmission speed that is almost 1,800% higher than the max needed isn't good enough. | |
| Please settle a bet! How does one win a bet when the results are only based on opinions? | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted I have a set of Ohm 1000s in a 13 X 25' room with a vaulted ceiling and the sound is extraordinary -- the best I've ever had in any of my homes. (I should have a larger model but brought these from another house with a smaller room and didn't feel... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers I owned a pair of 1/2Es for several years and also auditioned several Harbeths at length. Between Spendor Classic and Harbeth I have a slight preference for Spendor; I just find them a bit more natural sounding. That said, I could easily live with... | |
| Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya I don't have a Freya+ but do have several other pieces of Schiit gear. I've been very impressed with the sound quality, especially so for the price. I'd agree with the others that it is worth an audition. They give you 15 days to audition and cha... | |
| Ripping CDs to Hard Drive and Live Recordings jbs is right -- metadata is not standardized. And its been that way going as far back as I can remember, into the days of what could find on a LP label or album cover. You would find incorrect song titles or times, and sometimes even in the wron... | |
| Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement I have Ohm 1000s in my living room and Golden Ear BRXs in my bedroom. They are quite different in the way they interact with the rooms (quasi-omni versus front-firing box) but both sound excellent, though my preference is for the Ohms. | |
| Budget integrated amp needed I have an Audioengine N22 ($199) that works very nicely in my bedroom system. Unlike most amps in this price range, it is NOT a class D amp but rather an A/B design. It is not as powerful as many others at this price point, but if you have reasona... |
