| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? I love my MHDT Orchid DAC, but more for it's natural presentation of music than soundstaging. I have it set up in a small room with the speakers nearfield, so I'm not getting the best soundstage I could. If you don't like bright speakers, switch... | |

| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" Not too long ago we had our music club meetup at one of our member's daughter's house. The system we listened to was a Yamaha receiver with a pair of "Andrew Jones designed" Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers. They weren't pretty, and they didn't come clo... | |
| Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? Look up the information in the matrix/runout area on Discogs to see what version you have, using the "find your version" tool. Once you've done that, search the marketplace to see what other people think they are worth. | |
| The Who (Deluxe) I have listened to the new record a few times and really like it. They're both in their mid 70's. I'm glad I'm not the same guy I was in my 20's and I'm OK with them maturing and not sticking to some formula to prove they're still "The Who". | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I've been listening to the Miles Davis Quintet - The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions on Qobuz the last couple of mornings. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @vair68robert It took me three tries to get a decent pressing of the Analogue Productions vinyl. The first two had some horrible surface noise, which apparently others have experienced also. This one sounded great and is definitely reference mat... | |

| Upgrading my beginner setup and not sure how to allocate funds. New cart, table or amp? I haven't heard your integrated or speakers, but unless they are horrible, I would upgrade your turntable. Most turntables come with a decent cartridge, so you can kill two birds with one stone. Right at your price point, I'd take a hard look at... | |

| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. I'm surprised to hear you describe the sound as "tipped up", especially if you're using the Orchid as the DAC instead of the Node 2i's built in DAC. It still sounds like something is amiss. | |
| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. @wlutke BlueSound has a pretty decent user forum, you might try poking around there to see if you can find more information about how to set up your specific devices. As mofi said, if you're using the Qobuz app as opposed to connecting to Qobuz t... | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really I recently did some comparison listening between my turntables, my CD player, and my streamer. Vinyl won, but my CD player was not far behind, and while streaming came in last in terms of sound quality, it wasn't such a night and day difference t... |
