| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Sorry. Listen to your gear better. The voice of god?: Planar headphones, and extra dynamic impact speakers for stadium concerts instead of extra loudness, for what you can't be getting at home events. Also, studio recording is just trying to m... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? A well asked question. I go with just telling people it sounds really good on my system after we find a common performance to talk about, even though that performance is the main thing, except the gear part is the not so personal preference part ... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? I recommend throwing some of the "Parental Advisory: Bastard and Bitch scumbag positioning content" into your mixes, just to make sure it has to be a fighter, for sure, since the guys people don't care about since they always think it's their goo... | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison The Qobuz default player was slightly better than Tidal's, although both can stream with the top of the players, Audirvana, and tie on that. However, most importantly, Tidal is giving me the new king of reasons to subscribe to a streaming service... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Now that the LRS+ version has replaced the previous version, which was already said to have incorporated all new lessons learned by Magnepan in the original LRS version, and received much acclaim, do any of the owners of above entry level now olde... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Honk, wrong, I'm actually way ahead of my time. After black people near you have to try not to have been criminals also, you will hear Canadians speak of how much they love our future queen Middleton (although only on the streets, so that everyon... | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? Anyone who agrees with me that since WAV files are what nothing else is allowed to differ from, and are automatically reference listening compared to anything else, is already my idol, even before they agree that WAV sounds like it can’t be wrong ... | |
| Sound Quality You make it sound like the N200 is just not that good :( If you are finding that streaming FLAC sounds better than WAV files, something is seriously wrong. WAV files are the original unaltered format that anything else has to try to sneak in bei... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal At first, I thought that SQ alone was what should decide. Qobuz won right away for having a default player that finally actually doesn't sound bad compared to even the average local-file player. After that, Qobuz won, even while playing both on ... | |
| Anyone heard of Waudio Company power cables? I bought one for my amp, and it gave me a bigger soundstage, and extended frequencies in both directions quite well, without upsetting my balance. I quickly ordered ones for my dac and pc also. The dac was harder to notice, but was there. The P... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I have the Audio-GD R-8. It blows me away all the time. I haven't read comparisons to anything recent, but it's into revision 3, and has some nice improvements since I got it. $1850 http://www.audio-gd.com/R2R/R8MK3/R8mk3EN.htm Most people sw... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Women don’t want men to get the good a/v gear because they secretly have to be the evil queens competing with the snow whites to be able to get us. 😉 | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @asctim I went with getting the color calibrator, because I didn't know how to prove to myself that my reference would be correct. Everything looks great for sure now, though. My stereo is my reference compared to anything else I hear, but its... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @roxy54 You're complaining about how you don't understand people, as usual. That looks like about all you do, this thread. When I assumed someone would want 10 story tall speaker system, I went on to assume someone would want IEM's also. Can w... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! I use hardware calibration for my monitor. My software tells me how accurate the colors my screen puts out are. If I swap digital cables, it shows me a different measured result. Sound will be like that too, some people will argue they can tell ev... |
