| New In 2024 Steven Wilson has been revisiting his earlier 5.1 mixes of classic Tull, Yes, etc., albums, adding new 5.1 and Atmos mixes to these reissued discs. Several are out already, with more on their way. I compared the previous "definitive" 5.1 mix of "... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? @ricevs Interesting that you mention the FX of signal above 200KHz. Some years ago, a long technical discussion (I have a physics/engineering background) with the designer of Audioquest's sophisticated Niagara power conditioners convinced me th... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 Yes, the original quintet -- Jerry, Jan, Billy. The members of our little fusion band in HS/college used to follow the MO around the Northeast, catching shows any time we could. As great as the band’s studio recordings were, they d... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 >I have attended 100’s of live performances which would melt down most of the elitists here. Who? Ive seen John McLaughlin 7 times - both electric and acoustic, Oregon with Ralph Towner at Amazing Grace and the ASU hatbox. How... | |
| Devialet Expert Pro 220 -- sonics & connectivity @cdorval1 Actually, I wound up going with T+A's new R 2500 R, a more expensive unit, but one that had all the functionality I needed, as well as superb sonics. I loved the idea & the aesthetics of the 220, but in the end, the T+A was just a b... | |
| Meter for measuring cable capacitance My question is: Why be concerned about only capacitance? Why not overall impedance, especially since capacitance’s effect on the sound of your instrument is likely to be only one factor in an RLC circuit formed by your cabling, electronics & i... | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable @audphile1 and @dougthebiker +1 with an exclamation point. As with so many questions posted on this forum, the OP's hope for a recommendation that is remotely helpful for your system is just a crap shoot if we don't know the finer details. And t... | |
| Marantz AV7705 AV Receiver: HDMI out to external DAC OK, solved the problem. Save for future reference. Stereo sources go directly to the T+A amp, which drives the main speakers and the wireless input of the sub (which is processed by the sub’s internal crossover). No home theater components in the... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. Sorry, not in a car, not even involving a stereo. But I'm posting anyway. My remember-forever moment came at a live listening experience. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center hosted the Philadelphia Orchestra every summer when I was younger and o... | |
| Duplicate room correction No, this isn’t in relation to my "critical" stereo system. I’m talking here about my home theater, which is built around a higher-end Marantz AVR that uses the Audessey room-correction technology. Not exactly Dirac or Anthem, but I’m still giving ... | |
| Duplicate room correction Thanks, Erik. What you say makes sense. In fact, I've been trying for some time to determine just which parameters the amp's embedded room-correction SW actually adjusts. | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? @lewm You bring up a good point about the Audioquest electronic cleaner. This topic is actually worthy of a slightly deeper exploration: - With a few exceptions, the Audioquest, Audio-Technica, Flux, & similar products are marketed as "electr... | |

| PS Audio Power regenerator @tablejockey "Audio forum wisdom says plug your amp into the wall. ... Stereophile seemed to agree. https://www.stereophile.com/content/ps-audio-power-plant-premier-ac-regenerator-page-2 Now I’m confused. That article seems to say the e... | |
