| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? I'm going to link to a video presentation from Merrill Audio talking about his GaN amps. To me it's about how he talks about audio that's important. Things like he doesn't have a power switch because it affects the sound. These are the intric... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Making decisions solely on measurements is akin to judging meals only on salt content. If they have to the same salt content they must taste the same right? My favorites are the anti tube guys saying they don’t want distortion in their system. Un... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade I once demoed some speakers at someone's home and the CD player was unlistenable. The highs were just as you described. Does you CD player have a TOSLink out? A warmer more analog sounding DAC would make the CDs sound more like the turntable. | |
| Best Amp for Type AA Klipschorns (1978) Depending on your volume level. I'm running Speaker Lab corner horns with 2 watts in big room and they fill it fine. SET amps bring them alive. | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan Arlo Gunthrie | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? If the vocals are too bright or sharp, if snares or unpleasant sounding instrumentals ruin an otherwise good song, it’s usually because the system is too accurate. I call BS on that. This is the a problem with listeners that are measurement dri... | |
| Best rock bass player | |
| Best Rock Drummers or Keith Moon | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? I built speaker wire elevators using anti-vibration blocks and rubber bands & antivibration shelf by pulling out the shelf adjustment pins and sandwiching bubble wrap in-between them. | |
| May you help speakers amps @geworthomd Magnapan repair how to It just comes down to the dollar. It’s still about the source but as you know front row seats cost more than the seats in the back. I would recommend a new DAC and streamer to get to the front row. You can mo... | |
| May you help speakers amps Bluetooth and Spotify / Pandora are probably the major culprits for the lack of detail. You have a very resolving system but the source can’t provide the detail your system can provide. Try the free Qobuz trial and see if that helps. | |
| Quboz vs. Tidal: Tanika Chalres : Papillon De Nuit HMMM I don't have Tidal so I can only run what I brung... Qobuz is just much more dynamic than Amazon. The drums on "Ain't No Use" are there with Amazon but they don't jump out at you as they do on Qobuz. I'm still trying to get my settings ri... | |
| Favorite religious song Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones | |
| Quboz vs. Tidal: Tanika Chalres : Papillon De Nuit @erik_squires Have you listened to Vanessa Fernandez - I Want You Also available (Hybrid Stereo SACD) Qobuz vs AmazonHD "Right on for the darkness" What ya think? | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. That Dac doesn’t even outperform OKTO DA8 if Signal to Noise measurements were your criteria Measurements matter only if you measure the stuff that matters. There are a lot of people who have actually listened to Hi End DACs and can tell you th... |
