Can a system sound too Holographic?
In 1980 I was so impresssed with a demo of Bob Carver's Sonic Holography pre amp, I drained my savings, bought the c4000 pre & M400 cube amp. Still use the pre amp. Just sold the cube. Replaced with a great Odyssey amp. To me its like the dif... 
Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work
I hear early PF as the making of puzzle pieces. The pieces start coming together on Meddle then perfected on DSOTM and after. Echos is my fav PF song. Its like a changing landscape. D.G. & R.W. vocal harmonys blend perfectly. The music starts ... 
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
@Maynardewm Both my Node 2i and cd player run through the same J2 Geshelli dac which has many good reviews putting up againest dacs 3 x its price $250.00. I do like analog sound so Ill probably go with R2R dac down the road.  Ive read many do bi... 
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
For those here discussing old cd players, Ive got a 23 year old Toshiba SD9200N DVD/cd unit. Dont know much about it, but it was $2k back then and must weigh over 20 lbs. No remote. Can only use cd player and bypass its dac through a Geshelli J2 d...

@Jw944ts thanks, that email still works. Node 2i upgrade boards available, but the only 110v ac units for USA  are smpsu. Id like to get feedback on Acopians LPS. I like their multi dc out options and price seems good per rail. I know these are... 
PD-Creative
So glad I found this thread. Hopefully I can get help. Im interested in the PD Creative board for my Node 2i. Found their website but no contact info. If its at bottom of home page its in Polish. Yes, selected English at top. Can someone please pr... 
Made in USA
Wow, didnt think this would be such an edgey topic. First off, of course USA companys use some globally made parts just as with cars. Yes, some very good products are made abroad. Sorry for the "not exact" title. It is still nice to see the many ...

Hes just another man. Were all equal in the end with no control of our immorality. Know God and follow his way. We ALL will face judgement day. You ll either have enternal life with him or seperated from his grace.   
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
@skinzy Wow, your digital streaming section is at that cost level and you still say say vinyl sounds better. I stepped into streaming a year ago in the $1k range. Its not bad, but Im must be way out of the ballpark to even come close to hearing th... 
Why Do Some Recordings Sound Great and Others Dead?
For what its worth, I use an Analog Production vinyl pressing of Nora Jones' 1st lp to show off my system to friends. Sounds great! So the original recording is very good. Not sure if this helps as a reference for streaming this recording.  
A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey
@macg19 Tried to comment on your profile but kept erroring. Didnt want to sidetrack this thread. My tt is Musichall 9.1mmf, cart is a lower end, but nice warm Nagaoka, Schitt PS, Odyseey amp, Magnepan 1.7i s, Rhymik sub. So, yes my cart is porpor... 
A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey
Did I miss which Denafrips DAC was purchased? Didnt see a model. I upgraded to a $250 DAC for my Bluesound Node 2i / Bluejean coax / Quboz high rez. I "thought" it helped, maybe slightly. Still hear that brittle digital sound compared to vinyl. Do... 
Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage
I agree with those who suggest room treatments 1st. If you want to try an amp less than $750 that can definately drive them, Ive got a recapped Carver M400 I would  part with. 200wpc 8ohms, over 300wpc 4ohms. It drove my 1.7i s at high spl for ho... 
Solving the "complex music problem"?
 The amazing part of all this is the fact that the tiny interworkings in our ears can convert countless soundwaves into signals our brains interpert. Then we decide the quality of the sound. And thats only a nano example of Gods amazing creations.
