| Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot. 425 miles from the dealer. I hear you. British companies seem oft detached from American market reality. I've Sugden pieces, customer service non-existent. Rega works. Thanks for insight. | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s The room has wall to wall carpet and pad on the floor and when I first received the Reference 5’s, they sounded flat. I put small hardwood flooring samples under them and it helped a little. Did not understand oak flooring under the carpet, assu... | |
| Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot. After a fourth try, and having done nothing differently, the Samsung SSD backup now says that 41,575 files have transferred. We'll see. Still would appreciate any input. Thanks | |
| Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot. I can try the non Apple format. Naim support online is kind of brief and not helpful to me. Thanks for response. | |
| Is it good to upgrade the crossovers in your speakers? I've upgraded crossovers on a dozen pairs of speakers. Never spent more than $200 total for caps and wiring, sometimes Mortite packing. The $200 went into a pair of Epos 14. Every speaker was a success and fun to do. Never changed any of the c... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Gaia carpet spikes for carpet. Really makes a difference. As much as the footers. No, really. | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 I do not stream, so have nothing to add to the conversation. | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 Wow! What energy! A couple of notches up from the studio recording. The Muppets Animal character clearly based off of Blakey for his animated style. The quick shot of the Thorazine audience response reminds me of a Philadelphia gospel choir pe... | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 Without going all Hercule Poirot, I believe the mystery is solved by my simple lack of knowledge. I was unaware of the original 1957 version of this album (mono). The 1960 version (stereo) has different cats. Art repeated himself with a same ti... | |
| A light-hearted essay on loving music vs the audiophilia obsession edcyn Make that the last two. My indifference immeasurable. FB%#@*>!^ Cheers. | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 Just followed the weblink discogs and found it listed as mono. Interesting, as my copy is decidedly stereo. Perhaps is was digitally created. It does not sound odd. Blakey is decidedly in the right channel, joined by Wayne Shorter. Left channe... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s havocman may well be correct. The Townshend platforms seem quite credible, as pointed out they are three times the price of Gaia footers but may well outperform them. The point here is simply that the Gaia footers are credible and worth the pric... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? OP: I want my audio rack to be more minimalist vs lots of boxes, wires, and clutter. In that direction, I've a music server and a DAC/preamp box on one stand, 2 active floor-stander speakers....done. Digital cable from server to DAC, XLR from ... | |
| What should I expect after installing a new power management system? I mostly eschew tweaks and like so many find snake oil afoot. However, when it works it works and in a very deliberate non-argumentative way. When I installed a Decware ZLC conditioner, the POSITIVE effect was immediate; blacker background, gre... | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) Hold my beer and watch me solder this. I can appreciate upgrading a mid-fi speaker and you really can derive palpable benefits from minimal investment. ATC does their homework and produces a world-class product. I question improving their desig... |
