Biwiring make any sense?
@dogearedaudio I caught your response out of the corner of my eye and wondered if I had already responded but didn’t recall.  I have been listening to ProAc Response 2 speakers for more than 30 years.  Everybody says I’m not supposed to hear diffe... 
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
A lot of good advice already.  My experience is that cable matching to your system is critical.  More expensive is not always better.  But IMO, cables do make substantial changes and possible improvements allowing you to get the most from your sys... 
Help with high end bookshelf speakers
Years back, I was banished to a room in my basement for listening.  I was a little disappointed until I set up the room.  It was definitely a blessing to have a room that I could set up however I wanted.  My room is a bit larger than yours at 18x1... 
Power Cables
Anticipating that I would upgrade my Krell Studio DAC to a Denafrips (which doesn’t come with a power cord), I decided to buy the power cord first. That way I could break it in before the upgrade and my DAC comparisons would be apples-to-apples.  ...

Burning CDs of downloaded music
@mahler123 Yes, I was sure that the dealer would be able to access music I wanted to to hear.  My problem was that I wasn’t sure what deep bass should sound like on my current set-up.  So, I downloaded songs mentioned by reviewers who were testing... 
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
All of my system is important.  But the component I least want to replace is my Rowland Coherence One Series 2 preamp.  It is the hub of the system.  This past week, I replaced all four preamp modules of the line stage which I hope will extend its... 
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
I found real benefits shopping for interconnect and speaker cables many years ago,  Last year, I finally explored power cords and they were transformational as you suggested.  My own experience suggests that we tend to overbuy electronics if we do... 
Burning CDs of downloaded music
@ellajeanelle  Thanks for responding.  I have already solved my problem.     I own a CD recorder and they are nice to have.  Years ago, I recorded about 200 of my vinyl albums to digital so I could load the music onto my iPod.  It worked really w... 
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
Rounder puts out excellent vinyl.  But my favorite label for acoustic music, bluegrass, et al., is Sugar Hill.  Everything I own on that label is amazing.   Adding a couple notable albums not from Sugar Hill: Edgeland (Kim Richey) Tschaikovsky’... 
Burning CDs of downloaded music
@ketchup  @designsfx ​@sandstone  You guys were spot on.  While Apple doesn’t support iTunes any longer on the MacOS platform, they provide similar capabilities in Apple Music.  I burned the .wav file as a playlist in Apple Music and the transferr... 
Burning CDs of downloaded music
@dunring007 ​@ketchup   I did a test run.  I downloaded a song from Qobuz in .wav format to my MacBook.  I burned a copy of the song onto a fresh CD.  I can see the track and it plays on the CD drive of the MacBook.  I have two stereo systems and ... 
Burning CDs of downloaded music
@sandstone I recently switched to MacBook.  I’m not sure I can even get the old PC running and it does not have virus protection any longer.  I decided against adding streaming to my system because I already own a lot of music between 600 records ... 
Burning CDs of downloaded music
If I download a FLAC file and burn that file to CD, will a CD player play the song?  I thought CDs stored music as .cda files.
