| Listening Room My current listening room is also our family room and the way I have it set up, I can push the speakers back three feet and it’s pretty safe to do family stuff in. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @ghosthouse The Sonus Farber rep came down with Covid, so we pushed it off for a couple of weeks. I’m interested in the Amati G5 and they want me to but they want me to buy Lilium. | |
| ADD or Audiophile? I used to dream about having the time to listen, to really listen to music. Now that I am retired and have more time, I find that I can’t sit that long anymore more.🙁 Ao a lot of my listening is almost background music, I’m sad to say. It’s not A... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta The LS50’ and the LS50 Metas are great speakers and your amps will drive them without issue. Like any speaker, you will need to fiddle with placement and unless you are using them as near field, you will probably want an subwoofer to go with them.... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. ghdprentice Plus 1! Even with solid state, unless the amps have been unplugged for months, they will sound 99% after 15-30 minutes. My preamp and amps are hybrid, where the input stage (where the tubes are) shuts off, but the rest of the unit is ... | |
| 5 steps in developing hearing I’ve been in level 4 and 5 for decades. Oh and I have heard the word prat before, but have definitely never heard Prat before. | |

The mono blocks draw 75 watts each, when they are on standby and the preamp is maybe 25. The DAC and streamer are on 2... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I saw it on Discogs and was really surprised to find a CD. I would have thought that if it was digitized for a CD it would be on Qobuz. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @jdougs Oops.😁 | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @jdougs The others are right about pulling your speakers away from the wall. The manual says the speakers should be away from the corners and they should be a meter from the front wall. Give it a shot, you’ll be amazed 😀 | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda I don’t want to hijack your thread, but I am very interested in your G5’s. I have an appointment next week to hear a pair, but I’d really like to hear your honest thoughts. Please DM me when you get the chance. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs Barry Harris is great! And you have something special there as it’s not on Amazon HD or Qobuz. Enjoy! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk my morning to do list turned into this afternoon to do list, so I listened to Berlin and of course, it was fantastic! Thanks Oh and I’ll check out the doc in a bit. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I listened to eight hours of MP and did not listen to any of your suggestions. After reading your post about the documentary, I tried watching it, but my high school French is a bit rusty 😆 I do remember seeing a different doc that was ... |
