| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? 96 and 192 material is hi rez. Or Dsd recordings as well. I’m constantly doing shows with Infigo. So the reason I asked. Umm, anything over 16 bit 44.1 (Redbook CD) is Hirez 24 bit 44.1......... 24 bit 48khz, etc and upwards are all hirez. In... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Lots of good ideas and suggestions to work through. It's why I love these forums! So much to think about before you make a decision!. I will say this - the most intriguing idea (and I forget which responder/poster said it) that you can't repr... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better I have the latest (2023) Yggdrasil Less is More and I love it on my office system. The office has the Magnepan LRS+ speakers and a slightly warm DAC works nicely. In my Livingroom, I am looking for a bit less warmth from the DAC (and amp). Has a... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k If you already have a chord dac, just going up the chain with another chord dac isn't going to be a revelation/enlightening. Try a different type of dac for a different flavor. You could add the Aavik D-280 (Price ~12k, a different type of dac/d... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations If the budget is 3k and you have pre-existing good amplification and subs, the Magnepan LRS+ would be a bit of a nobrainer for a 1000 bucks (as others have suggested). Traits of magnepans are well known. Hmmm, another good option could be the Emo... | |
| Looking for a WiFi interface Try the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit sold on Bestbuy for ~150 (not a hifi solution, should be fine for midfi/lofi). If it drops, you could return it. The new Sony ES line of receivers have wireless speakers from Sony built for pairing wit... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? Klipsch speakers are consistently so awful, except for a couple of relatively recent models (one went active) that got redeemed or whatever. Overall, the Klipsclowns seem to have no idea about speaker design. But, they infest every house through ... | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? I wasn't at Axpona this year, but, some of Jones' demos seem interesting, i suppose (not the usual overplayed crap in rooms that makes ya blue in the face)... | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? I would not sit there very long if Metallica ,Slayer ,the above Youtube tracks or that kind of ´´noise ´´ was playing . Is this more of your vibe? The lyrics are quite fitting too for this thread, perhaps...🤣 | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? Play stuff like this @100db at your next show and wake everybody up. When they're awake, they may buy more things (you may sell more). Play it safe however, if you have flaccid speakers and amps. If the stuff you're selling is a bit wimpy, play ... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong seems yogiboy we need a debate on the meaning of a comma in a sentence... Debating challenged individuals would be a waste of time... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @mahgister Like a couple of others, I enjoy your comments and I agree with most of your points about authoritarianism, and fascist and communist political movements. However, I think you misunderstand Karl Marx thoroughly. Your description of com... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong @deep_333 Sterile? In relationship to most tube amps that would be better described as accurate. I suspect you would not like Boulder amps either. @mijostyn Sterile in comparison to my current SOLID STATE amps. Luxman c900u+m900u Yamaha c50... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby We figured in a previous thread that there less than a million audiophiles in the US and of that group only a small number care enough to post about it on internet sites. This estimate is probably off and the number is a lot higher, imo. The yo... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong Benchmark equipment is not sterile, it is neutral, very nicely made and fairly priced. After that you can take it anywhere. Want an analog glow? Add a turntable with a tube phono stage. The difference with good electronics pales in comparison to ... |
