| Spotify vs other streaming services @ubwerwaltz, that is exactly the problem I am running into. And, as you say, customer service is lacking. I dropped Deezer before the trial ended.@mahler123. I forgot to mention that I am using the Bluesound App. Primephonic is supposed to be sup... | |
| Tidal streaming and classical music I can find what I am looking for on Tidal only if I have the listing on Spotify to copy. Needless to say, I use Spotify for most of my listening, despite the 'low rez' output.B | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) @audionoobie, Nice post and it describes what I meant by 'direct/reflecting' of the Ohm's. I really like the sound, but I think the Vandy's do it better.If you aren't hearing subtleties in your music, I would consider changing your amp and preamp.... | |
| Speaker Connectors: Banana Plug conversion adaptor to spades I use these:https://www.amazon.com/Cardas-Premium-Speaker-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B00SG3Z922/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&am...They work well and fit snug on the banana.Hopefully, they fit on your termination.B | |
| Spotify vs other streaming services I, too, am waiting for Quobuz. They, and Primephonic seem to be taking their time coming to the US. Perhaps it is a product of the current political climate.I tried Deezer, but it never played properly.I pay for both Spotify and Tidal, but Spotify... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @ctsooner , @ricred1 ,Thank you, thank you, thank you.I will give the Thunder a try. I am currently using a bunch of Zu Audio power cables. I find them very neutral, but I know AQ really makes a great product and want to give them a try.Bob | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @ctsooner and @chargerfan ,What are your opinions regarding the lesser Thunder model?My pockets aren't quite as deep....Bob | |
| A way to listen to a large collection I have for the most part abandoned my CD's.Spotify, and to a lesser extent, Tidal (mostly due to their abysmal cataloging system), has exposed me to more composers I never knew of.The 'Discover' tab usually offers something I would never have clic... | |
| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? A lot would depend upon the speakers being driven.For me, using Vandersteen speakers, Ayre seems to be the best choice.I haven't had any experience with Class D amps- though I would be interested in trying.Pass would seem to be a better choice for... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) @arturos,Thanks for clarifying your listening habits.In my experience, Vandy's are very good even with off center listening.Like you, I don't want to be held in a vice. My chair is literally in front of the left speaker, but I still get a very nic... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! I concur with CTsooner. Congrats, enjoy and let us know how you fare.B | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) I am a Vandy owner and a bit of a fanboy. I also like the sound of Ohm speakers.For me, it would depend upon the situation.For critical listening and precise presentation, the Vandersteen's would be my choice.If you want a more general presentatio... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Genesis 5.3 ? +1 stringreen.I, too, own Vandersteen. (Just a pair of Treo's), and I swear by the Vandersteen sound. I heard them in the late 70's and remembered them when I finally had some money to get back in the game a few years ago.They haven't disappointed... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions It looks like Utra Fidelis is in your state (I don't know how close they are to you...).I would give them a call and see if they can give set up.If they are anything like John Rutan, they will provide all necessary info.If they aren't, give Johnny... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions Your dealer should provide set up. I know Johnny at Audioconnection does.@hifiman5 We seem to share the same setup. Though I only have lowly non-CT Treo's, thanks to Ctsooner.;)B |
