| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ To those who are bothered by Roger, I have one message. The truth hurts! To those who believe in free speech and enjoy Roger's art, rock on! | |
| Sound quality of Roon https://www.psaudio.com/copper/article/moving-to-computer-audio-a-comprehensive-overview-part-one/ I wrote an article for Copper magazine on this topic last year. For your bedtime reading! | |
| Sound quality of Roon I have used Roon/Tidal for 5 years. Problem with discussing "Roon sound quality" is that Roon is not a box you can take home and assess over a few hours. You should run it (preferably ROCK variant) on a custom server such as Nucleus. You should fo... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Sorry this is not quite answering your question but for jazz/classical over bluetooth in a bedroom/office, $2500, KEF LS50W partnered with your REL would be perfect. Also I agree to phase out valve amps when they break - we audiophiles should do o... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? I concur with the live feel for rock. When you go to a see a band the guitarist is playing through a stack of 12" speakers and the bass player 15". Real drums have massive attack. A HiFi system for rock should have size in both speaker and amplifi... | |
| Thiel Owners coop_301 I have a RME ADI-2 Pro AE powered by a LPS and have tried what you are asking. My system is Bryston/Thiel. RME (with digital volume control disabled by locking it at 0dB) connected to preamp sounds much better than RME (with digital volu... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? I can relate to musichead. Above a certain level, the sound becomes a performance that rivets the listener to the chair and rearranges his/her schedule for the rest of the day. I think reviewers, who are usually charged with the task of writing ab... | |
| Thiel Owners There are a few posts with 2.3, 2.4 and Rob being mentioned. I had the coincident drivers in my 2.3i rebuilt by Rob twice - 2006 and 2017. In 2006 they did came back great. However something remarkable happened in the 2017 rebuild - they came back... | |
| Thiel cs2.3 218W into 2 ohms is more than 100 amps going to the speakers, easily enough to start a fire. I have a 1996 4B, amongst others, and the combination works well. But the newer 4B3 sounds better in every way because everything is different - circuit, ... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream Agreed do not delay, jump in with both feet. Unless you have particular tastes, once you have Roon/Tidal you do not need your own music library. Even better is if your favorite albums are available on Tidal Hi-Rez, you will wonder how you ever liv... | |
| Buying used vs new? For reputable equipment always buy used if available in good condition. Saves you the 6+ months running in. Dealer amps and speakers likely current models and unlikely to be abused. Not like cars. | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? I vote speakers too because it is the most personal choice. You may find only 1 pair of speakers suitable for you. Nothing to do with % of budget. First get speakers you like then there should be a good choice of amps known to work well with it. O... | |
| Novice Tidal Question… My interpretation of a single user is 1 simultaneous stream at a time. I leave Tidal logged on at several devices and only ever use one at a time, never had a problem. | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? I would not leave a big power amp on continuously. 1) They are powerful enough that if something goes wrong it could burn down your house. Unless you put in a tiny fuse, which would defeat the purpose of having a big amp. 2) In today's world there... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Regarding China, Mahgister is the one who knows what he's talking about. I bet most of the others have never been to China and are "experts" based on CNN. CCP enjoys huge popularity and support in China, much more than any GOP or Dem government wi... |
