Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks? @yesiam_a_pirate +1 “Dreaming about and working towards the "next thing" is sometimes more fun than the score.” | |
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @sudnh The last couple of nights I did some testing, and the results of my subjective evaluation is that the Ataudio cables sound fuller with more bass; the Morrow MA4 have a bit more detail (FYI my Morrow cables have the less expensive RCA plugs)... | |
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @sudnh Thanks for checking with me! I haven't done a very good evaluation so far. My initial (and subjective) impression was that they were very similar to my Morrow MA4 cables. After several days of listening I replaced them with the Morrows, an... | |
Intermittent audio dropouts when streaming Qobuz Hi Res files on Lumin streamer Maybe also turn off and on your switch? | |
Magnepan DWM Bass Panel Good point about considering a better subwoofer, which in turn I can also use with my box speakers. @johnto Yes, I have it setup at around 55 Hz and volume as low as possible to avoid boominess. I used a spectrum analyzer on my iPad to help with ... | |

Best single volume guide to classical music I can recommend "Classical Music - The 50 Greatest Composers and Their 1,000 Greatest Works" by Phil Goulding, 1992. | |
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @knownothing Thanks! I will explore their products. | |
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @knownothing Also appreciate your recommendations. Would you consider Audiomeca and Xangsane reliable vendors? I don’t mind experimenting with “unknown to me” vendors as long as they design their own products and build them with good materials an... | |
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @sudnh Thanks for the recommendation! I received my pair of ATAUDIO RCA cables last week, and currently evaluating them. I have very modest cables in my system, so any improvement to my ears will be greatly appreciated. And for the price of two p... | |
SACD is VERY confusing @milpai +1 I do the same | |
