| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) I had Node 2i with updated power supply. I used Amazon HD. When I wanted to use QOBUZ, it was not good. Several months later BLUOS was not upgraded to work with QOBUZ. Some newer Bluesound may have QOBUZ loaded. Irregardless, I want to sit d... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I have owned XA25 for 5 yrs. 25W Class A and it has over 80 W output capability. I bought this brand because of reliability. It is overbuilt! It weighs 49 lbs. It gets warm. I have 100dB Klipsch Cornwall clones. I use a passive preamp. The... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Seems legit to me. Yes, he has a business and promotes it. Don't have to watch or buy. | |
| Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar I bought a Zen Mk3. Just listened to it today. I had upgraded from the node 2i. It was immediate. All facets of the music and recording improved by quite a bit. I only had time to listen to a couple songs. Innuous is the real deal. Wish I c... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. Crites speakers are wide. It looks like more toe in than I really have. They are pointed at me intersecting behind my head. Wall to Wall sound stage with good depth. | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I'm 68. I love music, not all of it. However, I always liked the new stuff, synthesizers, etc. I can usually tell if I like a song right away. I listen to many kinds of music. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy I can't afford them but remember what a stir they made when they came out, and maybe $10,000. I thought Sasha Daw was the replacement for WP. Out of the loop. | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) Usually, in Qobuz, I can scroll to the bottom and find suggestions or similar artists. This much better than letting them hand me a playlist. Meanwhile, if you like Americana or country, there are more male singers. There have been several who... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS The only specs I care about are output at 8 4 and 2 ohms and current. | |
| Streamers and software I had silver plated digital coax, albeit Chinese. This replaced a Pine Tree Audio OCC coax. I then I tried silver coated interconnects. Currently I left those in. I kept OCC interconnects. So I could go back. This has been a slo go. The siver I... | |
| Streamers and software Well, I have an Innuous Zen Mark 3 coming with the Nordost Purple flare USB cable. I read in another thread right after I purchased the Zen that the DAC USB connector must be galvanically isolated or it causes problems i.e noise. The Topping has a... | |
| Streamers and software Briefly, here is my system Streamer, Topping d90, khozmo passive pre, pass xa25, crites type B(think Cornwall) I spoke with TMR. I want to avoid frustrating software in the streamer. We settled on a innuous Zen Mk 3 or an Aurender A100. He re... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Prince, when doves cry Aerosmith Back in the Saddle | |
| Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers? That will be a very nice sounding system! | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Some of the best lyrics have been coming from the Americana scene. I realize it's a stretch from jazz and classical. Artists like teddy Swims, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childress, Zack Bryan for example. Incredible performers. |
