| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 I have a Hegel/ Magnepan combination that is totally revealing to the source. It is a Plain Jane to look at and I have drooled over the Luxmans many times since, but the Maggies are power hungry. Always look at what will make your speakers soun... | |
| Background noise. @baylinor I too suffer from tinnitus, don't really like the volume too high or it shortens my session. Don't bother calling the tinnitus hotline. They never pick up. It just keeps ringing. | |
| Parity Streaming is great, I use it most of the time, but keep the wall of records and CD's. It makes terrific ambience for your listening room. I have some occasional gatherings and it seems a lot of my friends [mostly 60-ish] will pick out a record t... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I wouldn't ever mention The Band in the same sentence as the Beatles. Oops. | |
| Speakers This sounds like something I might have done. My suggestion is to play them awhile to see if it does affect the sound. If it does, try the magnet approach first. | |

| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Try a different power cord. Or speaker cables. Experiment. Everything DOES make a difference. | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters I have a revealing system and I report no difference at all with cable lifters. None. Nada. Zip. | |
| Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402 Stick with Mac if you like a warm robust sound. Almost anything else in that price range will articulate better. | |
| Shakti Stone Only pet rocks will work. So before you try them, talk sweet to them and you will be rewarded. | |
| Did you notice.... Are you streaming WI-Fi or ethernet connected? Are you using Toslink connection or digital coax? These are BIG differences to your sound quality. I have tried things both ways. Also, even Qobuz has its ups and downs. Lots of music sounds pheno... | |
| Placement of Components Best advise is do some A/B comparisons to see what YOU like best. Take some time and do it right. | |
| Sound quality of Roon My Bel Canto streamer with it's "Seek" app might be a little quirky but sounds terrific. Can someone tell me why I would need Roon? | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? I am surprised no one has said they want to be buried with their headphones on. |
