| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? @clearthinker I understood your point and I do like it from time to time, it just gets to repetitive for me. So, I take a break from it. The PS Audio DAC comment was totally tongue-in-cheek. I'll bet it will be good, maybe very good. Seems ... | |
| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? By the time my subscription runs out I'm freakin' sick of reading it anyway, same old blather. Can't wait to read the review (on-line) of the new PS Audio DAC as they just did a two page spread, pretty picture! So I let it run out and take a bre... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? I think the most amazing point is that LPs and CDs can sound amazingly close given the wildly different paths the signal must take! Regards, barts | |
| What am I missing? I still like CDs and have ~1k. But the funnest thing about them is looking at the titles and picking one I had forgotten about and the memories, good or bad, of that time. Nostalgia! Regards, barts | |
| Streamer matching to system @audphile1 +1 | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Steely Dan - Aja Diana Krall - The Girl in the Other Room That's just today though...could change at any moment. Regards, barts | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? +1 @ronboco Happy Holidays to you and yours as well Regards, barts | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? @chilli42 The signal is full of jitter from upstream connections. Once that jitter is introduced, there is no way it can be changed or removed. Which "upstream" connections are you referring to? Regards, barts | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Whatever the impetus for the OPs post, it really cracked me up. Thanks for that. Regards, barts | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender +1 @audphile1 My son uses the same EERO for his mesh network. He is not an audiophile...but is a videophile/gamer. Gaming is severely more intense use of resources and on his 85" Sony top-of-the-line monitor there is never a glitch/dropout not... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? WBGO in Newark NJ is all jazz, listener supported no ads. An occasional fund raiser. It is 88.3 on the FM dial if you're close enough (the transmitter is in Times Square NYC). Otherwise, Regards, barts | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? In my environs cars are seen as accessories or jewelry even. "Nuff said. | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? Marketing plays on all of us no matter how much you think it doesn't. Just ask my wife how she likes the Home Shopping Network! Should have blocked that sheeit the first time I heard of it. Sheesh! Only >100 pair of shoes later................ | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? The question I get by the uninitiated is "How loud will this play?" Loud enough is my reply, but that is not the point. I have been asked the cost and I simply say I'm not sure. There's one other annoying thing people do which is pick a track a... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Out of sheer curiosity I stopped in at PS Audio to listen to the FR30. Having spent an hour with them I must say I was not impressed considering their price point. To be fair I really don't think the room was set up properly (?) and an hour is n... |
