| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? I believe he was talking about the point of advertising--advertisers use our own nature (and pride) to sell their products, making us believe they are better, more luxurious, more this more that. Some products may be better, and I think my post ab... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? I agree 100% | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Interesting thread. Just my two cents, but don’t we all listen in order to choose? I prefer that if I am listening to a couple different things and trying to decide between them, I would rather that I not know which I am listening to in order to t... | |
| MQA actually tested Oh if only we were all so amazingly adept audiophiles as you p051, but alas, our self righteousness is limited by actually reading threads in their entirety and not making judgements and ASSertions that aren’t warranted.My original post was that I... | |
| A deep dive into MQA, and its problems Doesn't take long for the thread police to show up and sarcastically scold you for daring not to realize this info might have been covered in a previous thread you weren't aware of. | |
| MQA actually tested I agree that the Tidal catalogue is really good and I really haven't looked into Qobuz, so I am not sure what they offer. Is Qobuz Hi-Res 24/96 and above? The cost for Tidal MQA is $20 a month--is Qobuz Hi-Res cheaper? I guess that's where it m... | |
| MQA actually tested For the "beginner"? Approach with caution. It is tough in the day and age of COVID if you are in a location where you might not be able to listen to equipment or specific music before laying your money down. Measurements do matter when they tra... | |
| MQA actually tested Yep, I noticed on bass extension as well...def less forceful. | |
| Rel subwoofer voltage Thanks noromance...exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Guess I will have to wait then...doesn’t make any sense to get them 220 if I have to go through the expense and trouble of getting the amps replaced once stateside. | |
| Rel subwoofer voltage This is an excerpt from one of their manuals. Also, the rear of the sub shows the voltages listed with different fuse types:REL Sub Bass Systems have a AC mains fuse located in the IEC receptacle where the power cord is plugged in. The fuses are ... | |
| Replacing Bel Canto S300 blown ASC200 module Well that took about 5 minutes...I honestly didn’t believe it could be so simple. Makes me want to spend some time on the diy forums and see what else I might be able to do. All in, it cost me $136 to put a new left channel in the amp....I have ... | |
| Replacing Bel Canto S300 blown ASC200 module great idea--make sure all the wires go back in the right places and I don't blow myself up! | |
| Replacing Bel Canto S300 blown ASC200 module Thanks Kijanki--I bought this amp used so it was already properly broken in. I am thinking it would be best to do as golfnutz says and buy two modules and just refresh the entire thing. Then I can burn in both sides as you say--few HUNDRED hou... | |
| Replacing Bel Canto S300 blown ASC200 module Thanks Golfnutz--you know how it is, when something looks so simple you think you must be missing something. | |
| Help an old man out I completely hear you on the sins of class d past...the brightness, the edge, the almost digital razor on the highs. My S300 was not bad...I say was because I turned it on tonight and the left channel is completely gone now...bummer, no stereo to ... |
