| SNAKE OIL! A new TV Show hosted by David Spade I dont know...Not loving music is a disability more than a moral characteristic... +1 @mahgister | |
| 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... | |
| Streamer with variable digital output Looks like some funny li'l behind the scenes collaboration between peachtree and bluesound (as evidenced on peachtree's webpage) to try and lock out some pristine sounding DAC implementations/analog ouptuts in competitor products. What's even funn... | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @frankmc195 Good morning/afternoon. I think we often overlook an element that is a critical element of the true "cost" of an item. The intellectual component. It seems we agonize over the price of "raw components" as the true "cost" of an item ... | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of @ghdprentice I’m stunned... you mean it really does cost $22,000 to make a preamp and market it? @frankmc195 , lol, how about 22k for a cable, literally a piece of wire with a connector on each end? One can get a new car for 22k, y’know? Soon e... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? My two Rythmik non-ported direct servo subs are lined with GR Research "No Rez" Shoulda thought of this before...Excellent idea man! I have been using the isoacoustics aperta with my F12Gs...Ordering some No Rez now! | |
| 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... |
