| Hot Rats In case someone is wondering if they like him, listen to "Apostrophe". If you do not love that, you will not be a fan of his other stuff, either. Yellow snow and cooties? Yup. | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. Salespeople want to sell what THEY like. The guy might not have heard anything better. Comparing an AVR to a good stereo integrated would be like comparing Jim Beam to Knob Creek or Elijah Craig. | |
| New to streaming question I use Qobuz and going through their "discover" selections, I will find something in what they stipulate is "HI-REZ", but when I play some of them, my streamer tells me they are 16:44.1, same as a CD. It is Qobuz doing that, I am pretty sure. And... | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses My streamer was recommended to be hardwired to the router. It rarely has unwanted gaps or problems with Qobuz. | |
| Beware poor sounding media Socalm, I have bought some new remastered vinyl only to find out it sounds similar to a CD. Kinda takes the fun out of vinyl for vinyl's sake, doesn't it? | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I never understood what the Deadheads were seeing or hearing, but I never took those heavy drugs . 50's jazz, while I respect, is boring to me. My jazz started in the 70's with Weather Report and Tom Scott. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? My 10 year old Velodyne 12" sub came with an onscreen setup guide with an equalizer, so flattening out the high and low freq's also smoothed out the response. Sounds qreat with my Maggie 3.7's placed facing sweet spot from between speakers. | |
| A first I agree, baylinor. A high percentage of people will never appreciate a fine system or some of the other fine things in life. And will never be convinced. So we are by ourselves sometimes. | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! Forget about the optical connection. It sounds ragged compared to coax. | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables I am one who has to hear the improvement before I believe it. I replaced all power cords and power strip with Shunyata Venom series cables and I hear very little difference if any at all. What's up with that? | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants After dealing with rooms that simply do not work for music OR home theater, build one, or use a different one. You could build one for the price of a pair of Wilsons. Or get a good set of headphones. [These will prevent you from hearing what yo... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects I can tell you that some cables [not all brands] definately need burn-in and can sound horrible while doing so. Audioquest sounds great right out of the box. My Analysis Plus balanced interconnects took about 200 hours before they behaved. | |
| best amp for a Maggy 1.7i I agree with DWMAGGIE. Magnarisers are the best upgrade you can do for the price. I have the 3.7's, they ran out of power with 150 watts. 250 watts drives them well. [Hegel]. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle mitch 2, maybe it is my 68 year old ears, but I could not tell the difference on some A/B comparisons. There were some other so-called upgrades that never panned out as well, like lifting speaker cables off the floor or record clamps, which actua... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Can anyone actually tell me they heard an improvement with audio receptacles? |
