| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? The lowest hanging fruit if you deal with digital hires files or ripped rebook cd (i.e., you buy the albums and pay the artist a living wage) is...you get the Daniel Hertz Master Class Ssoftware ($600 ish) and you convert your digital files before... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? I feel so stupid not getting the streaming thing though at almost 70 years old I have moved more toward digital then any time previously. At age 70, hearing quality dissipates and the ear lobes could start turning into cauliflowers. So, maximiz... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker Absolutely agree but for a little less, the KEF Reference series dazzles. I got to hear the reference 5 meta back to back against a way more expensive Faber and Wilson. The Faber and Wilson's goofiness was on easy display that day. | |

| What exactly is PRaT??? Play this song, a not so great recording on a relatively crappy rig and it could still sound like great PRT. A musician can give you good PRT even if everything else sucked. Chris Rea - I can hear your heartbeat, 1983 version https://youtu.b... | |

Built like a tank. And right within your budget. I use mine to record live concerts and recitals, sometimes usi... | |

| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? Yamaha NS5000 .... run by a mix of different electronics ....It is an engineering masterpiece and a work of art ( unique, there is nothing else like it). I have never heard instruments sound as close to the actual unplugged instruments i play. If... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully A couple of things. IMO, The OP tried to do the impossible in the beginning, no passive speaker was going to provide decent bass at low volumes, and IMO the only way to get even bass at low volumes is to get 1 or many powered subwoofers. GR makes... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully Wish they would use higher end finish and have remote for the sub. In case you didn't know, you can paint over the duratex finish... a rustic wood or whatever. Not sure if the sub section includes a line-in which could accept a separate line-o... | |
| analyzing sound @jrdavisphd Are you not able to just determine for yourself the quality of recordings, which recordings do the audiophile 'parameters' well, etc? You need some other guy to make a playlist for you with artists and tracks you may not like? What i... | |
