| Focal vs dynaudio I snagged one of the first pair of black Focal Sopra No2's that arrived stateside, after listening to a number of other speakers, including the then Dynaudio Confidence D4 model, which I thought were excellent.I am driving my Sopra's with an amp t... | |
| Low power amps and speaker damage? J.Chip: well said! | |
| CD v Streamed I’d say the answer to "which sounds better" is "depends".Let’s assume that the "chains" in your system sound equally good:CD player/DAC = Streaming source/DACI find that often the hi-res master that’s available for streaming from Qobuz is oftentim... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? When I first learned about Amazon Music HD, I emailed my nephew, who is in management at Amazon and asked him to reach out to someone in the must group at Amazon and see if they would do the interface work to Roon. I let him know that, if they di... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers @j-wall We moved into a newly constructed home last year, in my previous home I had a 24' x 26' listening room and the Sopra's definitely filled that space. They currently live in a 19' x 14' space and are not at all "too large" for their new home. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers I searched for my last speaker upgrade for over a year and was blown away by the 1038BE's. When I bounced that off a buddy of mine, he let me know that the Sopra line was (at that time) just announced, I ordered them sight unseen and received one... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? I was a rock and roll drummer in high school and college (many, many years ago) and realized that being a musician wasn't a "highly compensated" career.Back then, people used to ask: "how do you get a drummer off your porch? pay him for the pizza". | |
| How to connect C2500, MC501 and Two Subs I have a McIntosh C2500 and a pair of JL Audio F113V2 subs and the "A" output on the preamp connects it to an MC452 power amp and the "B" output connects to the JL Audio subs.In my case I use the XLR outputs in both cases, you could do the same us... | |
| The Placebo Effect In 1978-79 I worked at an audio dealer who had an "electronic" switching system, so one could A/B not only speakers, but amps, preamps, CD players, etc.One day I setup a customer to A/B a McIntosh MC2205 (solid state amp) and a Luxman LRS (tube a... | |
| Insuring Your Vinyl Collection and Equipment Thanks for bringing this up. I sent our insurance company a spreadsheet of all my equipment, the model and serial numbers and the "replacement cost", so they would have it in their records. The strange thing with that was that our agent didn't t... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery Erik,Well said! | |
| Has Anybody Else Heard These? I owned a pair of Totem Fire monitors for several years and enjoyed them very much. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... I experienced the difference in my former home. I used to have my system with a pair of excellent two way stand mounts and a good but modest sub woofer with a 10" driver from our 13x24' living room to my 24x26' family room, the setup just would n... | |
| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? I enjoyed a Marantz 2275 and later a Tandberg TR2080 | |
| Suddenly...one third of my tracks are 'unavailable' using Qobuz @wgs57 I probably have 1000 CDs and SACDs and hardly ever play them, as I find it's much more enjoyable to fire up Roon on my iPad. The USB port on my Roon Nucleus Plus server sounds awesome and most of the masters on Qobuz sound as good, if not ... |
