| Speakers which always sound good I have really enjoyed this thread! Some pretty entertaining characters and some pretty informative answers. So many options! Some of the speaker (arrangements?) I am not even familiar with such as the planars, line arrays, Horns etc...So many bran... | |
| What to upgrade next. @flrun Also I have just discovered Amazon Music is 13 bucks a month if you are a Amazon Prime member and thats with Hi Res 192kHz/24 bit files.h | |
| What to upgrade next. @flrun The Tidal subscription is 20 bucks a month. With it comes CD quality files PLUS MQA Hi Res for many albums. When I bought one album from HD Tracks, the 96kHz/24 bit I would spend between 18 and 27 per album. If I were to buy 4 or 5 CDs per... | |
| What to upgrade next. @oopwah Since the world altering revelation for me of the music services out there and finally checking into it I had to weigh my options. The Tidal subscription is worth it to me as I'm getting access to FLAC files from any artist I can imagine. ... | |
| REVIEW: Roger Waters, “Us And Them” (Live) Yeah, there seems to be a lot of this type marketing and it all started with the King himself, maybe before but surely then. I admire Waters' songwriting and of course everything he contributed to Pink Floyd as they are one of my top 3. I wish ego... | |
| What to upgrade next. @mesch Thanks for your inputs so far. I did buy the book you mentioned on ebay for a substantially reduced price and have read quite a bit of it. So many things to learn! Not being able to go to a lot of different dealers to hear the differences i... | |
| What to upgrade next. @oopwah Already loving the Tidal subscription and hoping to buy the streamer this weekend. Are there CDs that are better definition than FLAC? My Denon does have the pre outs for 5 channels which are all hooked to the Carver supplying 200wpc. When... | |
| What to upgrade next. @thosb Thanks for your response. Most insightful. I am as you may be able to tell, very new to the subscription music service business. The move to Tidal my first ever as a matter of fact. So a couple of questions about your response. If I have Ti... | |
| What to upgrade next. @richbutters My God Man! My wife would kill me! Six systems? She doesn't fight me hard but even I couldn't justify six systems. Unless of course I hit the Mega Million and we all know how likely that is to happen. Hopefully I can make some wise an... | |
| What to upgrade next. @mesch You brought up room size and configuration. My living- listening room is 11'5" x 25'. It is an odd config as the only place to put the speakers ( On short wall)leaves my right channel open to the right into the dining room. The left channe... | |
| What to upgrade next. @spenav Thanks! I know already that this pool might be a little deeper than I thought. I do however have to set my limits and I think landing around the $10K range is a system I can be happy with and know that I am hearing everything to be heard. ... | |
| What to upgrade next. @mesch I am committed to buying the Bluesound Node2i and getting the Tidal subscription. I think Tidal will relieve a lot of my headaches I have with my music files and give me a much better file to boot as far as Hi Fi or Hi Res. I think now I am... | |
| What to upgrade next. Tom @tom8999 I am sure now because of all of the comments that Source as you said is the biggest issue. I have committed to buying the Bluesound Node2i as my first priority. I have just enrolled in Tidal HiFi. For the time being I will stick to m... | |
| What to upgrade next. @flrun Wouldn't Zone 2 setting be considered a pre-amp bypass? I am definitely committed now to getting the streamer as I think I am getting a clearer view of what it is and does. I should have mentioned in the OP that I am running 2.1 and 5.1 wit... | |
| What to upgrade next. Thanks @fuzztone. This seems to be the consensus as far as the streamer. This step will leave some meat on the bone as far as the money goes and I can wait a bit to get something much better in the pre-amp or speaker department which is what I thi... |
