| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? There are many reasons; 1. Easy to rip a Redbook CD to FLAC but not as easy to rip a SACD to as DSF format. 2. Many of the streaming services only have newer remastered versions that many times are brick walled or not as well mastered as what yo... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? It exists but recording as well as room and equipment dependent. My reason for saying this, I can hear it in my room at times. Certainly the depth, left, right and center aspects of sound stage are much more frequently present. When I say height i... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions @niodari being retired and having just closed my business I had a little extra money just sitting there in the account I needed to close out. I was totally satisfied with all my components but my amplifier, which had served me well for years. I de... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions The OP asked Alberto Guerra (AGD) how his amplifiers sounds, well I own the Vivace and I can say they sound "wonderful". They bring a very live feel to the music. They are an "end game" amplifier in my opinion. I went from a pair of tube mono bloc... | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? I believe you may be asking what CD players are strictly transports so you can send your digital signal straight to your Node and use the Node's DAC. You seem to realize that you can send the digital signal directly through the coax or optical out... | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers Type of music you listen to primarily and how flexible are you with the speaker position? | |
| Why is most everything remastered? So many reasons to remaster with many not being worth the time to chase down but many are well worth it. Depends on who is doing the remastering and why. Some of the older recordings are damaged to some degree and need remastering to rebuild what ... | |
| Tweaks, money pit or real value? The hobby in general is a money pit, but tweaks from big names generally are the worst. My idea is look on the used market and see which item loses it most value when going to try and sell it later. Those are what I consider the biggest money pits... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? I guess there are folks who are audiophiles and have the luxury of having a great space for their systems and a wife or significant other or maybe they are solo so there is no "wife factor" involved. They are the lucky ones concerning setting the ... | |
| GIK alternatives Years ago I bought a number of different panels from GIK to round out the acoustics in my music room. They worked wonderfully and the quality was great and shipping was quick. I recently purchased a winter property and needed some panels for a mi... | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? Charge the car at work come home and plug your stereo system into the car so your stereo now runs on battery power. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? So many great suggestions, almost seems pointless to add more and pardon me if I am redundant in my suggestions but here goes. The very first thing to do is play with speaker and listening position placements. Set that up first but after my secon... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) Class A is like a muscle car. There are many that are absolutely beautiful, perform really well and others that are just gas guzzlers. Class D is like an electric car. The same applies as Class A except the gas guzzler aspect, so that is replaced... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? When I listen to my system or another, what I listen for is the sound stage, pin point localization of the musicians, decay, harmonics, detail, how deep the bass goes and is it details or just one note bass, mid-range beauty and many other details... |
