| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Agree with the advice on treating your room including adjusting the speakers toe-in and your listening position. Focals can sound a bit harsh or sibilant especially if you’re sensitive to sibilance. You may want to demo speakers with a different... | |
| Shakti Stone Haven’t seen a post about these in a while. Personal perception, preference and experience is such an interesting part of this hobby. Whether or not you believe it makes a difference, you’re right. Can a Shakti Stone double as a pet rock? It w... | |

| Mono recordings and my new respect for them Agree that listening to some mono recordings can be preferable to stereo. The Beatles Revolver reissue has both mono and stereo recordings of Rain and Paperback Writer. Have a listen and see which version you prefer. Enjoy! | |
| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up I would return the unit. You know it’s not your Wi-Fi or other equipment. The operating system is critical in my experience. I’ve had similar negative experiences with other brands although I haven’t used Rose equipment. I’ve had a positive ex... | |

I’m thinking of upgrading my $1300 Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC to the Top line May DAC used which is $3... | |
| Why Does Expensive Gear Seems To Sound Better? Interesting reading on a cold snowy day in mid April! Takes me back to my early teens when my friends would argue over who was the fastest and best guitar player. I too love black faceplates and blue meters. Equipment has to sound good and look... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Pink Floyd for Passover - Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here | |
| Does and don't Definitely Do’s and Don’ts. | |

| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo I have the same Bluesound Node. Used as both the streamer and DAC. I Then upgraded the DAC and then finally the streamer. My suggestion is to upgrade one piece at a time. Start with the streamer. See how it sounds. Then upgrade the DAC if yo... | |
