| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @irjones I run NAS in RAID configuration, so 2 HD with identical data, I have backup of these with USB external drive. Chances of three HD failures is virtually nill. And I still have my 3k plus cd's, not worth the hassle of selling and cd's don't... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Well, business models have never favored vast majority of artists, musicians. Until the day comes they can leverage their art it will never happen. I'm sure most popular artists would prefer a system where they and their record company could m... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @wolf_garcia +1 I can agree that many artists receive too little compensation. But lets imagine a world without streaming where record companies control the marketing and promotion of artists they chose to work with. So, you're a beginning artist,... | |
| LAIV Harmony @lanx0003 You've pointed out one of my concerns with R2R dacs, that being performance could vary over time as these resistors could drift in value. R2R dacs are reliant on relatively large number of resistors compared to other audio components, so... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! One of the downsides to streaming mentioned, and that is sudden disappearance of recordings from streaming services. And it will be the exact same artist and album from both Tidal and Qobuz. I presume disputes with artists and/or record labels her... | |
| Rel sub @fertguy I'm using Duelund tin plated copper wire on REL's, I'd take easy bet on these diy cables being superior to the two you mentioned, read some reviews on the Duelund wire for speakers. For DIY cables you don't even have to know how to solder... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Streaming radio station or Fm isn't best for discovering new artists. Between Qobuz and Tidal which I stream over Roon, nearly unlimited music, and Roon radio will play entire catalog of my ripped library, Tidal and Qobuz at random, also suggestio... | |
| Rel sub I meant to say Neutrik CONNECTORS, there are inferior fakes out there. | |
| Rel sub Also, I run only a single signal wire out, hot to positive on amps, ground to chassis. With two signal wires, to both positive and negative binding posts I get excessive output, read about this in owners manual and/or forums. And, I run a set of d... | |
| Who Gets Left Out? Subs and amps into wall, and I've tried conditioners from PS Audio, Audience, Shunyata, Audioquest, and my present BPT 3.5 Sig (modded), all impact transients to some degree. Now, I will say the Furutech Flux-50 NCF I run on 845SET amp is the on... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! In regard to artist's remuneration. The most popular artists do just fine between streaming royalties and concert dates. The obscure and/or unknown artists likely do better with streaming vs. hard copy. For one they get far more exposure via strea... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Never need to play those cd's again, and if you want to play them rip them to hard drive, play over streaming setup. I have well over 3K cd's that I ripped to NAS. And I'd bet on those rips played over your local network will sound better than pla... | |
| Rel sub Just get a second REL sub, I have monoblocks and researched the issue of a single sub, not good for REL subs or any subs for that matter. My present setup with the two REL subs provides me with most coherent low bass I've yet experienced. This vs.... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off @carlsbad2 correct. Just turning off AC, what about all the other contaminating electrical devices still running in your home, all of it continuing to contaminate AC. And then think about the entire AC grid, we increasingly live in a 24 hour world... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. As another person posted, they mostly treat upper bass, lower mids. Lowest bass registers extremely long wave length, hard to trap. At one point I had 2 21"tube traps stacked in both front corners, single 16" in back corners, These were fairly eff... |
