| Why does rock concert sound suck? @larsman +1 Ahhh...the good old Owsley Stanley "Wall of Sound" days. That was by far the best outdoor sound I've ever heard. You could actually use audiophile terms to describe it. OTOH the worst was McCartney at Giants stadium which was so ... | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Oh my...talk about circular logic. @clearthinker you win! | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? @fthompson251 Since the amps are going to VAC for a lot of upgrades (rebuild, tubes) I would suggest that you bring (or send) the amp PCs and ask them to run the inevitable tests they must run as a manufacturer with your PCs. They do testing al... | |
| Best budget USB @soix Yes, I will to post, the OP says "I decided to give the new Supra Excalibur a go. I already have their Ethernet cable and like it very much. Plus, it'll be here tomorrow, unlike the Lavris which would be quite a wait." Was that your experi... | |
| Best budget USB My understanding is that the shorter a USB cable is the better, correct? As opposed to a digital coax which needs to be about 1.5 meters to prevent "echo" of the signal in the cable. @soix Thanks for posting, I'm going to give that cable a try.... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I took the easy route: Started streaming in 2019 with a Bryston BDA-3.14 streamer/dac which sounded really good to me, I have no vinyl so no comparo to do. Had some problems with rasberry Pi based streamer internal to the piece. Talked to Brysto... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change +1 @hilde45 Couldn't agree more. This is nearly an analog to PRaT, whereas the Pace of life is nearly "off the chart". The Rhythm of daily events as I knew them as a kid seems missing completely. The Timing of events seems to be self-serving ... | |
| Is this the entrance to my rabbit-hole? I haven't heard Khorns in quite a few years. Have become interested again due to an email from Upscale Audio on the 75th anniversary AK6. They mention that they are now sealed boxes and do not need to be in a corner. Can someone tell me when the... | |
| Severe short term audio distortion when watching Netflix Check with NASA for sunspot activity...not joking. My Samsung TV with cable and ethernet feed was going all digital artifacts once a night for a while. I bitched to the cable company and they knew about it and also knew there was nothing they c... | |
| Severe short term audio distortion when watching Netflix Well as far out as this seems it could be the datalink to satellites being switched, most everything bounces off satellites these days. At any rate, I'd bet it is something completely external to your system. Do you live near any heavy industry?... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... I think my objective toaster may burn my subjective toast this morning and now I'm upset I may not be able to tell! I'll get back to you. Regards, barts | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music @jazzydrummer I get what your trying to put together and agree you answered your own question, JBL (biggest and baddest you can afford). Google JBL 4350 monitors. No subs required. To the posters who think that the Grateful Dead "just" used P... | |
| Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal? she no looka so good! say bye bye to that bay-bee Regards, barts | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise @llid2 I haven't seen you state whether you live in a house or apt or condo. Neighbors? Permanent residence? This will severely restrict you system choices. Unless, of course it really is female vocalists. I think you'll find as you build a... | |
| Which Ethernet filter? +1 @audphile1 agreed on good components. Very important! |
