| Is a noisy tube a bad sounding tube @erik_squires True, the LS17 has 26db of gain | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? OP back into this thread. Perhaps it’s time to move on. I never intended my post to be a debate on the merit or lack of merit of hip hop or for that matter any genre. Even worse to see criticism with racial undertones. I was trying to point out t... | |
| New take on CD vs Vinyl vs CD +1 dinov. I went the same route as you with a Bluesound node and then up the food chain with an R2R DAC and Auralic G2 streamer. Sold my turntable and phono stage for more than what I paid for it and all my vinyl also at top dollar to one person (... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? Seem like a lot of people commenting in support of hip hop. I’m not trying to slam hip hop at all. Some of it is great and some not so good, like any other kind of music. My point is it’s been so long since anything radically new has emerged. The... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @ghasley It's real music and has great appeal to many, no doubt about that, and that is a great thing. It just seems to me like I'm ready to hear some thing totally new and fresh musically, and I have been for some time. Seems like things change... | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo I'd say mm1tt7 summed it up pretty good. i have a few hopefully useful comments to add. There are a lot of new words and terminology with streaming. Hopefully I can explain some of this in simple terms Your streamer and DAC are your source, just ... | |
| Quobuz subscription Some streamers have limits on the resolution of certain outputs. Often the USB output is able to do higher resolution that say Coax. Might want to check that out. | |
| Analyzing DACs This thread is getting sidetracked a bit but thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in. The reliance on measurements is as old as this hobby. Back in the 1960's Julian Hirsch was editor of THE major Hifi magazine at the time, Stereo Review and he was o... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume Well so many suggestions. I would likely steer you towards something of greater size. Either a floor standing speaker or large bookshelf like the KLH 5. Your listening space is pretty large so I think something quite small will struggle to fill yo... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. Played Cowboy Movie from If I could only Remember my Name as loud as I could last night. So good! Besides his music, he was a very intelligent and witty speaker. | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... I have never heard the Fluance speakers but have no doubt that they sound better than what the OP expected, given the cost. We often have a preconceived notion of what something should sound like based on what it costs. Realistically, the 2 way s... | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? Interesting comments. @designsfx Doesn't make sense to me to tune down a quarter tone for the vocalist as a quarter tone difference shouldn't be that hard for a vocalist to deal with ,even at the top or bottom of their ranges. Also this phenomena... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. Vinyl is fun for some people. They love the fussing, the cleaning, the hunting through bins of records.....the ritual. If that’s what you want out of vinyl, go for it. However, consider buying used so if it doesn’t meet your expectations, you can... | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! @dogberry Love it! | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! "Old" vinyl, pressed before the digital era, when that vinyl was made from the analog master tape sounded great. I have several friends with 1000s of records bought in the 60s, 70s, kept in pristine condition. Most sound wonderful. Current vinyl... |
