| MQA actually tested Having not watched the vid I would like to know the delivery chain. I run quobuz hi res from MacBook Pro into balanced dac out to balanced pre into mono blocks balanced in. First was using WiFi for stream sound was great with big sound stage. Then... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I will never commit to one or the other. I just like music anyway I can get it. Yes on my main system there is one delivery that sounds better than the others but again I will never “limit” my choices. I have vinyl, cd, cassette, and stream quobuz... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Tull “Thick as a Brick” | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble IMO to many people do not have a clear understanding of what bass actually is. Bass should be what the artist and producer have made it as part of the whole sound. Most artist have what I would call tight bass guitar that harmonizes with the drumm... | |
| Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable My streamer is a MacBook Pro and when I moved from WiFi to either network gigabyte the difference in quobuz was one of the most noticeable upgrades i ever made to date. Two biggest notables are bass and soundstage. It makes sense as WiFi has limit... | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? With your title I will assume that the tt you are referring to is half black have white, comes with a barry cartridge, does not work and cost a lot of money!! | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Marantz has a nice two channel integrated. For Bluetooth go with an iFi zen blue $129 and will stream hi res audio. Speakers like for sales HBO has some good bookshelf’s right now | |
| Is louder better? @audioguy85 my mind also pictured a felt dogs playing poker art on your side wall and a big g graphic on the coffee table. Sorry I am having a flash back that was my room! | |
| Is louder better? Your question can be addressed in the same simplistic form asked or broken down into more details. Simple answer yes an no. I like different artists at different levels. It is easy to measure as I start an album at at set level and as the listenin... | |
| Is this an right time to buy hifi? millercarbon What he said!!supply chain issues are a front for an excuse to jack up the prices. Basic economics supply vs demand. When the technology has flattened and you can’t tweek any more from that side how do you inflate your value or price ... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Don’t care what anyone will say but you can’t do HT and two channel with one system without major compromises to the two channel sound. Even if you have to plug and unplug the speakers for the different applications keep they systems separate. Tru... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Buy an air conditioner! Or a fan sitting on a block of ice. Class d is like pushing needles in your ears after 1/2hour of listening. Yes they are popular for HT but brutal for two channel. I am not going to beat the dead horse on people having onl... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? The way I look at this is that any journey has to start somewhere. This hobby is a journey and you have to enjoy every step of that journey also knowing there will be mistakes and frustrations just like life. Then as your journey is progressing yo... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? When doing a speaker cable review for HT he can never admit that there is a difference. It is a simple math formula on cost. We all know that in a two channel set up the proper technique is long component cables shortest speaker wire possible. Now... | |
