| Can I add an outboard Equalizer to my music streamer ? @garebear will you share the components in your system. As others have said, spotify is not great, but maybe a small investment in a streamer and streaming service would yield huge improvements. I am happy with a used Node 2i acting as a streame... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" I don’t think you can categized an entire class - rap is varied. That being said, I think it is fair to define what qualifies as music and what does not. Very subjective and a bit meaningless, but why not. Once those definitions are in place, soun... | |
| Just wow… Nice. Thanks for posting. I love new music. Does any one else pick up a lot of echo or delay? | |
| How long do speakers last? Can you define last? Old speakers still play and sound good, but over time the sound quality, assuming no damage, will degrade slowly. I had a 20 year old pair of SF and they sound good, but not as good as new. Difficult to really compare with... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? There are not hard trends like in the past because there is not such limited sources to hear new music. If you look in the old days about how we became aware of non-live music, the channel were limited - radio mostly, then TV. They controlled the ... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please Here is another data point. I think I was at about 10K to 12k range. Two Revel F208 speakers (during a sale), Benchmark DAC3, Benchmark Amp, used BlueNode streamer (streamer only), cables from Benchmark and BlueJean cables. I feel it sounds good f... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? I am not sure of your specific questions other then the title, and that is pretty vague. I can share with you my approach when faced with the same general question where I had one space and wanted to optimize several factors - appearance, cost, so... | |
| Quobuz subscription Are you streaming from phone? Or just using phone as controller? | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? No. Listen to JasonB | |
| Placement of subwoofers IMO, you should try them at different locations and angles. I have two subs and found the best sound (so far) by having one facing the same direction as the speaker and just to the outside of the speaker. The other sub is at the outside of the o... | |
| Qobuz hell Qobuz, Are you listening? Your search engine is terrible. I search for a song by title, and it brings up many many other songs with different titles, and then, far down the list, is the song with the exact title. It is not just me. This is a f... | |
| Qubuz membership issues I like qobuz. What error message is it giving you? Anything besides Whoops? Any areas highlighted in red? What country are you in - not sure if that matters. Sorry it is not working for you - it can be frustrating. | |
| Qubuz membership issues Are you running a VPN? Sometime CC processing companies will flag those. Did you try in a short time frame, sometimes servers are down. I have this happen and try back in a day. Rare, but can happen. | |
| Best amp for Salon 2 You could try a couple AHB2 in mono mode if you want to go for low distortion. 380 watts at 6 ohms. $6600 for both. I use one to drive a pair of F208s and am pleased with the sound. | |
| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? I do something similar, but not with amps. The DAC3 from Benchmark has home theater bypass and multiple inputs - some analog and some digital. My streamer connects to the digital DAC input and my preamp outs of my receiver connects to the analog... |
