| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. You can stream your files from a NAS to any streamer (in the local network) just fine when your ISP is completely dead and gone with the wind! On the same note dude, if you like an album, buy the artist's hires digital album (put it on your nas) ... | |
| Benchmark DAC3 vs. Denafrips Pontus II I don’t find the Benchmark DAC3 analytical at all. I find it full and dynamic sounding with just the right amount of detail. It replaced Bryston BDA-3 and I never looked back. Hope to audition a Denafrips DAC some day. @audphile1 , To assess th... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? I use two 15” sealed Rythmik subs in a very difficult room with great results @markalarsen , Is the E15HP what you have? Are you using it for music listening primarily? (I have been curious about their 15in and 18in sealed models for a bit...Pe... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? If you are optimizing for a single sweet spot for 2 channel listening and have a lot of freedom to move the subwoofer, speakers and listener’s position around, you can make it work well with a single sub even in a very large room. If you don’t ha... | |

| 3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel? Get rid of the Pioneer Elite receiver and get a dedicated atmos/object based audio processor (no amp sections shall be in the same chassis) like the Marantz AV10 or higher, depending on what your budget permits. It will let you enjoy the atmos mu... | |
| Tekton Electron SE I use a couple of high end speakers (TAD, Schweikert) in my dedicated stereo room. I try to explore more "affordable" speakers in another room for multichannel and stereo. Stuff from 3 designers, Andrew Jones, Danny Ritchie (GR) and Eric (Tekton)... | |
| Stenheim Alumine 3 vs. Sonus Faber Amati G5 I have not heard the Stenheim Alumine 3, but I own Amati Traditional (see my virtual systems). From reading about the Stenheim… they are as different as you can get from the Sonus Faber, both sonically and aesthetically. From the descriptions the... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 Gryphon by miles Agreed. @gill_benedek , if you can get a used Gryphon within your budget, throw the Hegel and NAD in a ditch (it's a no brainer). | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @reimarc , it depends on the design of your component. If you note that a fuse is in the signal path of a low feedback design, etc, it could potentially cause a very minor audible change... If the fuse is not in the signal path or if you may hav... | |
| Best budget USB @lollipopguild Any competent USB cable from the likes of Audioquest or other should be good enough. However, a more important item in the chain would be something like the HoloAudio’s Titanis ’USB processor’ dongle instead (if you can find it an... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers At about the same price the 20.7 will run circles around the Aspens. You can’t put the Aspens in the same room as any Wilson or Magico floor stander Run circles around?? (Lol) A 20.7, Magico or Wilson does no such thing here and the McGowan spe... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers Paul McGowan has been reborn since the Aspens came out! Paul has always stood out as one of the nicest guys out there in high end audio (up there with Andrew Jones). I heard the fr30 in their listening room and they are very good, a home run f... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! To my ears and in my rig+room, i am able to easily discern differences in cables upto a certain pricepoint. I have many of the audioquest cables from their entry/mid price point to higher end. All their cables can preserve/present more detail and ... | |
