| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer +1 @big_greg I have a Roon Nucleus+ with 2TB internal drive and 3TB ext drive connected directly to it. The Nucleus+ is connected directly via USB to a Bryston BDA-3 DAC. Simple and clean and to my ears sounds great. Have a few TB of DSD on the... | |
| Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers. www.arcdb.ws Is a virtually complete database/catalog of all the Audio Research products. It is not a product of the company, but an ARC fan who obviously is crazy about products. Regards, barts | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet @dover +1 on the "advertorials" I had never laid eyes on that one before. So true. Bring back J. Gordon Holt! Regards, barts | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. We all have our own afflictions...the only part I don't get is the many multiples of the same piece. Now I feel less conflicted about my own afflictions. Regards, barts | |
| What are we objectivists missing? First of all, we are not listening to a cable, we are listening to a system, our system, which most people here know the sound of intimately. Here's a test: How about you record your system playing real music at say 1 meter using "perfect" micro... | |

| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? As many of you know the visual center of your brain uses a ton of "CPU cycles" to recreate what we perceive as our own reality. When you take that processing load off your brain as a matter of course it uses whatever input is left and draws on pa... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? In my 50+ years of playing this "game" I have found that there certainly is height information that is being processed by your brain, albeit a phantom, as is the center channel. Moreover, to my ears this is very recording dependent, acoustic guit... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy @twodogs112 I'm not sure why you took @ghdprentice to task for his latest post. I do believe that you took it as a swipe at you and your equipment. I have read perhaps 1000 of his posts and I have never seen him look down on anyone or their ... | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars Back in the day we were very happy with an 8 track head unit and a pair of 6x9s mounted on the rear deck. Fond memories. @jbhiller One of my buddies brother is a sound engineer and works for a year on a design cycle for a vehicle sound system. So... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Jersey boy here and I think that Springsteen is a hack. Went to one concert of his back in the day and I will say they played their butts off. I'm a firm believer (right or wrong) that most people like the music they heard in their formative yea... |
