If i share libraries in itunes is it same quality?
With ONLY the librayies being different, I'm not hearing much if any difference from wired to wireless transmission of the files being played.Same everthing, except where the file is physically set. Same DAC, amps, etc. I have noticed I seem to pr... 
Weird Speaker Placement Configurations
My office setup isn't the best for listening... nor are it's dimensions... 9 x 12.My desk is in one corner. One long wall is dedicated to gear resting on two racks. A closet and entry door are either side of the desk with racks of DVDs and visual ... 
Looking for some 'grass
Cruz123That's an outstanding idea. i usually leave the cable box on the music channels now and then, so I can see who's doing what, IF something ear'catching comes on.Some of the online radio joints don't show their NOW PLAYING selection though, o... 
Looking for some 'grass
Gee thanks much…I’m not terribly keen on Ralph Stanley’s vocalizations, but his content and contributions go without saying as being awesome. When I think about the Stanley Brothers the Osbornes come to mind along with any number of other formativ...

Entry Level Cables
The neat thing about any hobby is this.... When it comes to descerning quality.. you're the judge and jury.or you should be. If what you mean is which measuring stick should be used, that's another subject. many go with the attempt to emulate live... 
so what do you do when listening?
".... when listening?"Enjoy... mostly. right off I'll listen for errors or out of whack stuff (if any) going on with the gear itself... Once I've done that brief audible inspection, it's just digging whatever I'm in the mood for...I'll keep roamin... 
Entry Level Cables
SR Alpha Quad x2 active (preowned) is a good choice right off for music and movies.Audio Art does a real good job with their stuff.The Canare 4S11 is not a bad choice either to begin with... I use it in my HT for center & rears. terminated or ... 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
in no real order....Several of Gordon Goodwins “big Phat Band” Cds… “Swingin’ For the Fences”, “XXL”Fourplay, Bob James’ group, “HEARTFELT”… continues to impress.The PBS broadcast soundtrack of lewis & Clark… mostly the narrative tracks.The Fl... 
My dilemma, some advice please.
Chris357 Later, or more current, can mean better when it comes to digital playback.The item as I see it here however isn't so much that, but more pointed towards the interface compatibility of two items.The only thing you need to know here is IF t... 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
....Kr4sorry Kal, my fingers got ahead of my brain… and thanks for the input. The singular interest I would have in BR is the audio side of things....othersI thought to interject this item or two as I've not seen it addressed.if the intent here is... 
Sibilance in recordings: your experience the same?
Given the factors above are attended to, I have found better digital analyzing or decoding, eliminates much of the after edge from voices.At times it can be difficult to tell if it's entirely the recording, the artist's enounciation, or the replay... 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
Naturally I'm no insider on the subject of high def video discs being used as audio ONLY discs... but does that really make much sense overall?I'm thinking the BR disc format was set into place for it's advantages in storage space which yielded th... 
odl and odyssey stratos
Why do you ask?Not sure about ODL... I do know however the Odyssey Stratos amps have undergone a few changes/improvements over just the past few years, according to Klaus. 
New amp or new cd player?
Taking ‘very good’ to excellent will take a bit more than either an amp or a source.Given money matters, think carefully here as to which path you choose to follow. Just CDP…. CDP + DAC…. Or ….PC + DAC…In each case the DAC, either on board or as a...
