| Which Has Best Sound Quality -- CD vs. Tidal vs. FLAC Uploaded From Burned CD CD player hooked up to preamp. Stream, etc etc. nowhere near as good. Cd, bass better, better guitar, overall CD is much better. No comparison, whatever these streamers say, a descent CD player sounds better. | |
| Emotiva MC-700 audio imaging Sell the Emotiva gear. I’m glad I sold mine, high gain, tweeter hiss, Fine for beginners, the high gain and somehow makes speakers treble too bright. Have a couple amps, both sound better. Will go to the rival Odyssey, the Kisme... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Keep telling yourselves it’s amazing. Class D is so far below the sparkle and relaxing tube sound. It’s a Yugo against a bmw M5. There is no comparison! | |
| Is louder better? Again, louder does wonders for speakers output. Raises bass, and sound. I play a bit louder to make the speakers sound their best. | |

| High Gain? 1 watt, 3 watts. What a waste. Headroom is NEEDED. MY OPINION, for the people who get butthurt easily, too bad, get some skin. Yes, it’s sarcasm. | |

| Pass, Bryston or Accuphase for Magnepans? Bryston or Sanders. | |
| Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic? What cables are you using? Not heard of an XP piece being bad. The more tame the horn tweeter, the better. Give her a month of listening, often it is YOU that needs to get accustomed to a new component. Try some silver ICs’. Had a... | |

| PASSIVE SUBWOOFER DRIVEN by a 2 CHANNEL PRE-AMP + MONOBLOCK ? A nice QSC amp would do wonders to a sub! | |
| Krell fpb 250m Drive both to krell for service. Get a room for a week or 2 to wait for service! will never ship amps, etc again. Take the time. Those amps are wicked! | |
| PASSIVE SUBWOOFER DRIVEN by a 2 CHANNEL PRE-AMP + MONOBLOCK ? I’m sure it will be fine! More will chime in soon. Many do what your doing, bypassing the cheap bash amp for a better amp. But your better off with a QSC amp to drive your sub. My opinion. A nice pro amp will do wonders to a sub! | |
