| Market Stabilization? Well, I haven’t noticed since I haven’t bought any physical media in years but suspect prices, with the possible exception of vinyl that’s a relatively small part of the market, will continue to fall as more and more people embrace streaming music... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Unfortunately I’m only familiar with the Ultimate line, and all I know is a couple others here got the Grand headphone cables and were really impressed and happy with them relative to their prior cables. Looks like the Grand is only like $90 more... | |
| Ideal Qualities of a CD/SACD Transport If SACD isn’t a must have I’d put Jay’s CDT Mk3 on your list — built like a brick crap house and it’s “only” $5k. Best of luck. https://www.jays-audio.com/cdt3-mk3 | |
| Back to the DAC Just look at the list of DACs Amir didn’t like and throw a dart. +1 @audphile1 Very funny because there’s a lotta truth in it. | |
| Qobuz using Bluetooth? No, you don’t need anything else. Just turn Bluetooth on in your iPhone Settings and choose that speaker to pair with in the Bluetooth enabled devices where your speaker should pop up as long as it’s powered on. Playing from the Qobuz app once you... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? How does the OP go from a statement like this… Somehow I think if you have a good system in a furnished room somehow you have to validate yourself as a true audio connoisseur by putting stylish acoustical panels throughout the room. Somehow no... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s I and several others here have been very impressed with the value and performance of Lavricables headphone cables. They’re made of high-quality silver and offer excellent transparency, air, and soundstage along with excellent tonality and tight ba... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Just as with home rigs, personal taste and system synergy come into play in HeadFi systems as well. What improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? This thread was utter nonsense from the start and has only gotten worse and more pointless so why keep adding to it? Please just let it die. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing The common ground here is that we pretty much all recognize that we as humans have biases, and I’d venture to guess most of us aren’t opposed to ABX testing. The difference here is that the @botrytis believes we are completely incapable of overco... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Others have bought a Naim unit (can’t remember model) for this purpose. Can’t speak to sound quality, but I’m sure it’s more than fine for background music. | |
| Outlet Question Incidentally and in case anyone might be interested, here’s a rare comparison of several of the more popular “audiophile” outlets. It’s 10 years old but still interesting/useful today I think. Note that it includes a cryo’ed (not standard) Hubbe... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? @pinthrift Interesting and thanks for sharing and just reinforces the other positive feedback on the value/performance of DH Labs cables. BTW, how do you like the BAACH system? Do you just use the Mac version? | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Everyone knows Red cars are faster and sexier Actually that’s kinda funny. @tonywinga I’m sure you know there’s no point in debating anyone who worships at the alter of blind testing or similarly are of the “belief” that cables make no diffe... | |
| Connectivity for Gustard U18? Although it can depend on how your particular DAC’s inputs are designed. I’d second trying the i2S connection if you haven’t already. Just keep the cable as short as possible as the i2S signal degrades quickly with distance. But be aware that no... |
