| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Amir is a good resource as an alternative viewpoint. His ‘truth’ is a series of measurements, that can tell a lot about how some components will perform. But he does miss some of the picture no doubt. A couple of his component reviews are way off ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Hi Jafant, I bought the player from a serious enthusiast. He had modded the player to include some form of vibration damping, dynamat treatment and fuses. I believe he did something with the power supply. I am not quite sure, but i have compared ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Decided to listen to the CD player last night. Its been a while. In this case, a modified Pioneer BDP-09fd sending the analogue signal via old transparent ultra cables. I was not in the mood for analytical comparisons between Qobuz and CD stream, ... | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers Try Qobuz. | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Perhaps a more pertinent / relevant question is the difference between solid core vs stranded cable. The difference can be very distinct. I find good solid core such as AQ or Transparent to have a very solid grounded sound whereas good stranded ca... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? Had a long listen to the 60xti at Bestbuy, comparing them to the more expensive B&Ws. In short, they are excellent; certainly better value for money than many other options in my view. If given a choice between the KEF LS50 powered and the 60X... | |

| Hi-res streaming on Qobuz Valjean said; It’s so much easier if you just tell yourself you hear itLoL! Great comment 👍 | |
| To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question. Yep ebm is right. To these ears, Vinyl rules. I personally prefer belt-drive tables over direct drive. Had a vinyl system many years ago, the magic amplified by MFA MC Reference preamp and ARC Classic 150 monoblocs. I just couldn’t stop buying rec... | |
| Streaming for beginner LalitK,Thanks so much for the advise. I just might give iFi device a whirl. | |
| Streaming for beginner I use Qobuz either streamed from IPad / Frontier router via Air (WiFi or Eth), or streamed from MacBook via Router to DAC USB, depending on what amp I feel like listening too.For me, I still think my good CD player sounds better, clearly more reso... | |
