| After the thrill is gone Serjio says "if you had PBN Montana ref speakers + the right room, your search would be over." I guess I am done because that's exactly what I got! See house of stereo system. Love the dynamics of the PBN. I need all the dynamics I can get for th... | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Different day, same results, most prefer Qobuz. I will repeat that Q on $12.99 plan sounds flat to me, no depth. Tidal on $9.99 plan has so much more depth, not even close. Also a little wider soundstage. So I had both and dumped Q. Can't talk of... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different It only makes sense. It's the same in life with everything. Everybody prefers different things. Nobody is the same. Hence we are called individuals. And I am grateful for that. How sad would the world be if we were all alike. My system sounds best... | |
| Small Form-Factor CD Player/Transport Caution: If looking to go I2s connection, not all are compatible. Had to return the PS Audio CD transport which was not compatible with the Gustard x26 pro dac. | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I am going to differ from many here. On my setup, tidal $9.99 hifi sounds better than qobuz $12.99 plan. It gives me way more depth and a little more width in soundstage. Can't speak of Tidal MQA or qobuz upper plan since they are not feasible on ... | |

| Turn down the Volume! Between 70 and 80 db for me. Anything less or more won't be pleasurable to my ears. | |

| Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance I think it would largely depend on the quality of power in your listening room. In my case, where I have a dedicated power line in a separate building from the main house, upgrading power cords made no significant improvements. So for my specific ... | |
| low bass response And of course your room layout is not very good to be frank as pointed out by many. All I will say about that is take a look at my system and you will see how much I put in the value of equipment placement and room acoustics. Obviously you can aff... | |
| low bass response Dual subs would be a good start to more bass. I just saw your TT, a thing of beauty. Just can't figure out why it would be hidden in an armoire. I would custom build a clear cover and display it ALWAYS. Just me. | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? Everybody knows WD-40 attracts dirt. Use a teflon base lubricant instead! | |
| A Beginner's Guide to Audiophile Is there an Audiophile for dummies book out yet? That would be a fun and educational way to start. | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better 45 LPs don't do it for me because normal sides are cut in half and usually better sounding LPs are originals, not recent remasters. I have a few but don't play them very often at all even if they may sound better, which is debatable. | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. And I thought I had a lot of stuff LOL |
