| Streaming vs Physical Media @jji666 So I just think it's fair to note that there are other credible, non-fringe viewpoints, especially given the prices of some of this gear relative to more fundamental items that could be addressed with that budget. Fair point and observa... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @sns is 100% correct . High quality 300b SET amplifiers absolutely deserve top tier level 300b tubes. Yes they are expensive but in my listening experience worth every dime! The less costly 300b tubes are certainly decent in sound quality but wil... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @sim_audio_nerd In regard to a successful pairing of the Frankenstein and your Super Victory III (SV III) it depends on your goal/objective/listening habits. I have used the Coincident Franks MK II mono blocks, Statement Line stage and their To... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Uneven playing field. Try a CDT(maybe borrow?) around the same price as your streamer that has i2s outputs, using the same brand and type cable, and then tell us what you hear. That would be a more valid comparison. All the best, Nonoise ... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Based on this highly impressive listening experience with the Jadis JS1 MKV I'd love to hear it in comparison to the Aries Cerat Helene DAC. No doubt that one could not go wrong with either. Thanks for posting @verdantaudio . Charles | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Just to add balance, there are many network knowledgeable people who do not believe there is an "inherent noise" associated with streaming. Keep in mind these types of beliefs sell products, just like dietary supplements and copper bracelets. ... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @lalitk Hi,, Again no disagreement with your comments. My point is that Taiko Audio is an example of a company with a very committed and focused approach to tackling the inherent noise issues associated with streaming. I didn’t intend to suggest... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure There is definitely a distinction between acquiring a "natural" patina and rust. 🙂 Charles | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo Agree with the comments citing a classic case of inappropriate amplifier-speaker impedance mismatch. Impedance load is more critical here than speaker rated sensitivity. These amplifiers are very fine but are not intended to drive lower impedance... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @tomcy6 Good point and I think this is precisely what all out efforts like Taiko Audio with their Extreme music server is an example of addressing the noise and power supply issues. By all accounts its sound quality is sublime.It seems to elimin... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Thanks David.😊 Charles | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @retiredfarmer Thank you very much. @lalitk I do not disagree with a word you wrote. I do not stream but I have no doubt that it is capable of excellent sound quality. It just requires more work due to hunting and eliminating many noise ent... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @retiredfarmer If you do not mind what are your most often used (Favorite) CD playback choices? Charles | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @mksun Patience is a virtue.😊 In the meanwhile you have the Audiolab 6000 CDT to enjoy. Charles | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media I have not heard the Audiolab 6000 CDT but it receives consistent positive comments for sound quality at a very affordable price. @bkeske @mksun congratulations! I hope at some point you all are able to hear the Pro-Ject RS2T and Jay’s Audio C... |
