| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise My lack of funds, at the moment, is keeping me from buying a new streamer. I decided to try using my computer for streaming, via a USB B connection to the native DAC in my amp. I am also running my internet via ethernet cables to the PC. I found t... | |
| new to streaming- help! soix - I have space constraints where adding another device will be challenging in my AV rack. I'm sure a dedicated streamer would sound better than my outdated PC. I just have nowhere to put an additional piece of audio equipment. Not sure what p... | |
| new to streaming- help! I know most of the people posting here indicate that streaming from a PC is bad for audio quality. Mostly due to space constraints, I am using a PC as a streaming source. It was clearly a sub-par source until I bought a Jitter filter. Made a huge ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? I have a Velodyne SPL 1000 that I purchased new in 2000 for $800, on sale from 1K. It has been in constant, moderate use all of those years in both 2 channel and HT applications. I know this sub was a step down from the DD series of the day, but i... | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun Ah, thanks anyways. | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun czarivey - To each their own. How much do you want for one of your TV's? | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun I find that my iPhone 12 is a sufficient time keeper. I have no idea what that Rolex is worth, but I would sell it in a hot minute. If it isn't worth what a Volvo V90 wagon costs, I guess a new 75" OLED and a short trip to CA would be great. | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My "English" amp was made in China. My "American" speakers were made in China. My "American" digital cable was made in China as were my "American" speaker cables. I don't consider myself a "Have not". Maybe a "Don't have as much" or a "Have some".... | |
| Your experiences with system synergy To bluethinker66 - Thanks for asking about my system and the elements of synergy. Current system: Cambridge Audio CXA 81 integrated, Revel Concerta 2 M-16's and a Velodyne SPL-1000 sub. Various vintage and used source equipment. Previously menti... | |
| Phono Preamp Recs under $200 for My System I second the suggestion of a NAD PP2e. I bought a refurb unit from Safe and Sound for $142. It can also be used with MC's. I found it sounded better than the Cambridge Audio Solo, even through my CA amplifier. | |
| Your experiences with system synergy I don't have experience in high end valve equipment, but I find there is a very clear element of synergy, even in my entry-level, solid state experience. All equipment in the audio chain have inherent "voicing". My experience is that the amp and s... | |

| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? I agree with the posters who indicate "it depends". My current Revel speakers are rated at 6 ohms with 87db sensitivity. They were initially being driven with a 50 WPC Arcam and I needed to push the amp pretty hard to get the speakers to sound the... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? If I can afford it, it must be mid-fi. | |
| Probably a dumb question Paragon Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. They are online as well. High end used |
