| Need advice on media player and or dacs @sandrodg73 , - Receivers have terrible power amp sections - Receivers combine the multiple power amp sections in the same chassis as the dac/preamp sections, etc (terrible idea). The path to high fidelity in multichannel music is going with a ... | |
| Upgrading my streaming/digital system- what would make the most sense? I would like to improve my digital chain and I’d like to get your feedback on which component(s) are worth upgrading first. I would like to get a more natural/organic sound and more naturally layered soundstage. Don’t get me wrong, it sounds good... | |
| Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers Get rid of that Spendor (generic crap, nothing special about it) and keep the MLs. The MLs are a bit too unique/not replaceable. There are many speakers that can easily best that Spendor in 2023. If you miss the spendor one day, get a Mofi Source... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing maybe you’re not a fan of Jay’s or in ChiFi at all. I gave a short impression/opinion of the unit tested in my system, with my ears, in my house....nothing more. My system tends to be more "laid back" or warm, and I am always looking to add more ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing . I have auditioned the Jay’s CDT2 MkIII both in a friends system, and in mine. It is without a doubt the best CD transport I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Very detailed, yet not at all bright or fatiguing. In my system it was paired with... | |

| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? "Sound Reproduction" by Floyd E Toole on Amazon for $23 in paperback. It will be the best $23 you ever spend. It should be mandatory reading for all audiophiles, especially those who are dealing with speaker set up. Too much of the stuff you will... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Business Owner I end up working 12 to 15 hrs a day, 6 days a week some months and it sucks elephant-ass. I plan to retire early and teach music. I have been playing a piano & violin for 30+ years. I picked up the sarod later in life/playing i... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. You might consider a financial planner as being more of a priority than your next 80k luxury item. I mean, to pay off family debt you get a fraction of your systems value, and a year later drop 80k on a luxury item. That math does not add up. Wel... | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier Yamaha C5000... impossible to get a better full-function pre under 20k, ime...about a 120 hours of burn-in is required to make it drop jaws. I understand though.. the run of the mill audiopheulele wouldn’t look at it because ’Yamaha’ couldn’t pos... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance For example, I currently use 4 different pairs of stereo speakers, several amps, sources (essentially multiple rigs), a multichannel rig, etc in 2 rooms. It covers the different flavors, signatures, etc with different types of music that I enjoy (... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Simpleton Linus should stick to building computers Watch these measurements/tests from alpha audio and get educated on this topic a bit more. Yes, they do have audible differences. Youtube Video - Does a Bad Network Switch Ruin Your Streamer? I... | |
| Amp recommendations for KEF R7 speakers KEF = analytical, kinda dry, bright, etc (made by technically brilliant nerdydoofy engineers who never got laid in life and don’t understand music) Pair it with Luxman, Pass or some other Class A stuff that makes everything liquid and breathes li... |
