| Power conditions for Integrated Amps @erik_squires thanks for the link, very educational. | |
| Time to do house cleaning. I've been though a lot of equipment in my life, and yes, there are a few pieces I wish I never sold, but then I ask myself, what would I be doing with it? It would probably be collecting dust and taking up room. Plus, the money I made on it helped... | |
| What am I missing? "CD quality" is heading toward being the 'base quality' for digital. You can already get higher quality then CD. Spotify and others are well below CD quality. I agree with you, the Music industry doesn't want us to own music, why would they? The... | |
| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I'd tend to agree. It's always been tough to be a musician, but the last few years have been brutal....less live events, loss of places to play, harder to collaborate, harder to find people to collaborate with, finding new talent. That all adds up... | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer I had the Bluesound, good quality, it's no-hassle, very easy to install and use. Very good tech support, something many companies don't have. I used it with Qobuz and Spotify. I had to jump up the $5K range to get better sound then Bluesound. T... | |
| Where to put your best power cable? Us it on your Power amp to wall, dedicated line if possible. I learn that on my own system. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I own a Luxman 590AXII class A and would have a hard time going back to Class D, although I have owned Class D and G before and I liked them very much. I'd go with Tubes, but don't want the hassle and then I'd get into tube rolling and that expens... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables +1 @antialiased Love my Ohno, Studio One or 24SE when I can fine a nice used pair. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC +1 @oddiofyl Basically I did the same, I was happy with the Bluesound Vault 2 until I could step up to use an outboard DAC with it and then up to the Aurender N200. The other suggestions are good also, but you need to compare what functionality ... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero It's not just about the equipment, just listen to music and enjoy it. I enjoy music whether it's on $30 airpods off my phone or on my system or on a friends $100,000 system. What you mentioned is just noise. Focus on the music, your ears will tell... | |
| Built-in vs. Standalone DACs For me it was the flexibility of upgrading the DAC in the future. I brought a very highly rated DAC that back 5-6 years ago was considered state of the art in DAC's, it's probably a middle of the road one now. Some of the technologies they are usi... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Babylon Sisters - Steely Dan Fire and Rain - James Taylor And a Female Singer, Amber Rubarth, Aimee Mann, Lindi Ortega, Brandi Carlile I use the first two when I want to impress someone (older) who doesn't understand what really good audio sou... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Cabasse also makes square/rectangular speakers. They may also have some patents on them so other companies cannot make similar ones. And of course the way they sound might not be to every one's liking, regardless of research, science or technology... | |
| Power conditions for Integrated Amps Thanks Everyone! Lots of helpful opinions and options. Now I have to get off my butt and try a few.... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear I am 65 and workout, but I brought a JL Audio F110 Sub (75 pounds and bulky, I wanted the F112, but my room was too small). I almost didn't get it up a small flight of stairs, if I had gotten F112 I would had have to hire someone to bring it in th... |
