| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? Are you going for the “padded room” look? | |
| Lumin T2 vs. Oppo 205 @thisisme I own a bdp105-d and used to use it as a player but the sound reproduction of the unit wore me out- to bright/edgy and led to listening fatigue. My experience with the 203 was the same (as you’ve mentioned) and as Oppo stayed with the ... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... Did you report this to Kenjit? | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues @brewerslaw I’m not sure if this will be the equivalent of what you’re experiencing as I haven’t heard your setup BUT my dac developed an issue after a couple of years where there was audible distortion when certain tracks were played. It wasn’t... | |
| Jean Sibelius Recordings @mahler123 You do realize that in Classical Music there tend to be multiple recordings by different performers of the same piece of music. Ha! Believe me- I do. I grew up playing music and attended Musicians Institute while in my teens. I’ve ... | |
| Jean Sibelius Recordings @mahler123 I was wondering what format you use the most for listening. I was able to find this on Qobuz (24/96 FLAC) and for the most part is sounded very good with proper dynamics. There was one thing that continually drew my attention away fro... | |
| Jean Sibelius Recordings @mahler123 Although I’ve listened to classical music on our local station KUSC I’ve never really taken the time to become that knowledgeable in the genre- this is completely new to me! After reading this thread I was intrigued so I decided to l... | |
| RIP Jeff Beck Jeff Beck was such an amazing guitarist and his influence will continue to ripple throughout the world of music for many years to come. I’ve worn through many copies of his work over the years and still listen to it frequently to this day. I’m th... | |
| Lumin U2 Mini Have you compared the Aurender (with dac) in your system standalone? I’m wondering how it’s integrated dac compares to your LAB 12 (or was it no contest) | |
| Lumin U2 Mini @oddiofyl That’s great to hear! When I was scrolling through this post I couldn’t figure out what you were using for Dac duties- whether you had a standalone or the Bluesound or other. My only comment would have been to make sure you’re happy wi... | |
| Lumin U2 Mini @oddiofyl Your equipment list is showing you have an Aurender N200- are you no longer using this? | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways At our place FL and SFL are all done on my main system as that room is quiet and easy to relax within. When it comes to CL it’s all Sonos- there are a few in the house that can be moved around if needed (as well as outdoors). They’re great for tha... | |
| Current equipment similar to ancient DBX 14/10 and/or 20/20 computerized equalizers? I know this is not the same model (DBX 10-20) but it’s up for $160 bucks- 10-20 EQ There’s a 14/10 listed in the UK but it’s $2,700 Euros- probably not the best deal. | |
| upgrade player or use modified oppo bdp 105 as transport I have a 105D (although not modified) and never use it anymore. Unless you have a large collection of SACD or the like I would invest in a better Dac and a ripper/streamer. I started ripping disks years ago- much better to me than upgrading disk p... | |
| Anyone know anything about Deal Home Audio in Batam, Indonesia? Real or fake? Once you’ve vetted their existence DO NOT forget to use Escrow.com or equivalent for the transaction. If they won’t go for that then walk away. |
