| Harbeth 30.1's w/Leben CS-1000P or CS-600 Leben CS600, no problem. That combination of Harbeth 30.1 + Leben CS600 will be superb. I predict thousands of hours of beautiful music and wide smiles. | |
| USB Driven DAC for 2nd System Audioengine D1 for $169 new.At that price, big spenders might assume it can't sound great and may scoff, but I had a chance to compare one against the $1800 Line Magnetic DAC with ES9016 Sabre chip and if I listened carefully I could discern only ... | |
| Used 804 N or S vs New CM10 S2? Congrats! Those are fine speakers. You already know this I'm sure, but do a lot of playing with toe-in, wall separation, and distance separation between them - their personality can be massaged with even minor changes in positioning. I wish my lis... | |
| Speakers sonically similar to Sonus Faber? If you enjoy the Sonus Faber sound - and you're not alone, it's a very easy sound to love, very lush, warm, easy on the ears - and the Venere is out of your price range then there's a great chance you'll love an older pair of the Grand Pianos. You... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Seriously Cymbop, you never sit down to listen and think to yourself, "I'd like to revisit a particular time period and discover songs I may have missed"? Or maybe hear songs from only a particular era, but want them randomly chosen because you're... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify You're absolutely wrong Cerrot, I stand by my previous message. Those 4-5 playlists aren't hundreds of songs long, they're 35-45 songs long. And if you do a search under Elton John, as you suggest, the results return exactly 4 playlists that have ... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I can see a lot of reasons why Spotify users haven't migrated. Do this, just for one example...pretend you want to explore the decade of the 1970s and put "70s" in the search box of Tidal, and then do the same in Spotify. If you put "70s" in the S... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Late reply, but Cerrot I am using the downloaded app. The issues I've had have occurred while using the app, not a browser. It's run fine off and on the last few days, only had to restart a couple of times. It absolutely does sound better than Spo... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth I'm with John 100% on this - the first reply to this thread nailed it. You already know the cause of the issue. You said it yourself..."from certain CDs". This isn't about new tubes, new amps, or new cables with lapis lazuli-filled coating. If you... | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers You're not in the minority, and your experiences mirror those of many of the rest of us. This is the challenge with electronics. If we were evaluating the quality of a pizza, it likely wouldn't matter whether we were evaluating a particular pizza ... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify Cerrot, I'm pretty sure that my bandwidth isn't the cause of "invalid track" errors. For example, I'll click on an album, and instead of playing the song (and the song isn't greyed-out indicating that it's not available), it gives an "Invalid Trac... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I've been a Spotify user for about a year now, runs great, never goes down, no issues. I was hesitant to pay $20 for Tidal, but finally went for it. After 2 weeks, I've cancelled Tidal. I'm using the Tidal app on a computer with plenty of power an... | |
| Small room; Audio Physic Scorpio or WB Trinity?? Hi David,I don't own the Trinity, but I do own the Wilson Benesch Arcs, which as I'm sure you know are a step down from the Trinity but close enough to maybe give you a point of reference. And my room is exactly 10x11, so our situations are very s... | |
| BMC PureVox Feedback @Toddnkaya, thanks for the input. I haven't heard the RAAL ribbon yet, but would like to. Are you speaking in hypotheticals, or have you actually heard a RAAL-equipped speaker in person that you thought handily bested the 805 Diamond or Proac D30R... | |
| BMC PureVox Feedback Just one bump, to see if anyone here has any experience with the BMC PureVox. Search of the archives produced a couple of hits, but all previous comments from just one person. I figure there has to be a 2nd person that's heard them. My closest dea... |
