| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science It is great to have measurements to a certain extent. However some obvious examples of how it is used are all over the place:Pass Labs XA30.8: Spec sheet says 30 watts. Read the measurements and it puts out 6 X as much watts. All of a sudden a... | |
| Great country recording Man, some of this takes me back to my childhood. Sometimes we would listen to The Grand Old Opry over our old console radio. My mom loved Hank Williams, The Masters Family(more gospel), The Carter Family, Charlie Pride, Porter Waggoner, Buck Owe... | |
| 10K system Lots of variables here. I personally use a Bluesound Node 2i streamer($420 refurbished) and a Topping D90($700). The Topping and my music service both have volume control so I don't use a pre amp. I do not have a turntable. That is several thou... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Zhu various songs. Such good sound quality. | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! I could be crazy but part of it is our ears getting used to what we are listening to. All the stuff I bought was broken in before I played it It is best to work out the woofer a bit to loosen it up. It's all about the bass, that bass. | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Kraftwerk: several albums/tracks. Their remastered versions are sonically perfect.Tommy James and the Shondells: Crystal Blue Persuasion Hammond, harmonies, acoustic guitar, echo. Ahead of it’s time? Peter Gabriel: "So" may not qualify as being ol... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair I heard the $7K Paradigm Persona(I think) on stands sounded really smooth, detailed, neutral and had good bass for their size. Actually they stopped me in my tracks. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I have had two rear firing subs placed between my speakers for years. As I started more critical listening, I noticed dips. I purchased corner bass traps. This really evened out the response. Then I talked to GIK and have purchased bass traps ... | |
| Religious music for less than devout Elvis Complete Gospel Recordings. Quite good sound and oh can he sing or did you already know that.There was also "I Saw the Light" that my mom and I used to sing together. I think it was Hank Williams. I grew up with this stuff. Lots of Maste... | |
| Another streaming newbie I didn't know squat a few months ago and didn't even know how to ask the questions. So I ended up buying a Node 2I refurbished for 420 and a Topping D90 for 630. Both the topping and the bluesound app have volume control so I plug the DAC directl... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer Brian Eno, King Crimson, Beatles, Peter Gabriel. My son introduced me to Grandmaster Flash and Dr. Dre. Need to branch out from there. #oldmendodorapnhiphop | |
| Magico vs the world Unless some pot of gold falls out of the sky, I won't own these. I personally found the 30K Sonus Faber/MAC more enjoyable than Wilson Sasha DAW/Audio Research. Also like the Paradigm sound. So many brands out there but Magico seems to have ple... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Roger Waters. Amused to Death. Came through at 192 kHz. Diversity of styles, sound all excellent! State of the art recording. | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? I am really enjoying the Topping D90. It improved every aspect of sound from my system. I got it for 630 from Apos Audio who will let you return it but I would be very surprised if you did. This has the AKM 4499 with other high quality component... | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls I did the Cat 6 and cord. Both better. Then I bought a Topping D90 and that was a big difference. There are lots of other brands of good DAC. Schiit, Denafrips, Sabaj, Border Patrol, Chord, Mytek, Lumin to name a few. I connected it with a c... |
