| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Interesting question.Though I am no expert, I think there might be a difference.If I recall correctly, Sam Laufer's The Memory Player outputs files to memory before they are played. The result being higher sound quality.So, it would seem using eit... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero @ozzy ,I was with ctsooner at Audioconnection when Johnny demoed the CAD unit. Subtle, but noticable change- blacker background, more detail coming through. I should get one, too.In any case, just call Johnny directly. He will set you up.Here is t... | |
| Review: Townshend Audio Speaker Podiums I bought a set of platforms for my speakers, but forgot to consider the outrigger feet, so I couldn't use them.Thankfully, Townshend said they will work under my other equipment-providing they were in the proper weight range.So, I put one under my... | |
| Calling Vandersteen Treo owners I owned the 3a sigs and then bought the Treo non-CT's.There is a definite improvement in sound quality when you move to the newer models. Plus, they also look nicer.If I recall correctly, you own an Atma M-60.The Treo's are rated 40wpc at the low ... | |

| New Breaker Box-Should I upgrade? @kennesawjet ,Yes, I was hoping to do the same, but the electrician said a larger box only came with a higher amp capacity.I'll be leaving things alone for the time being.B | |
| Why Don't Local Audio Dealers Provide Tube Testing Services When They Sell Tube Gear? As you acknowledge the fact that such equipment isn’t ’cheep’, let alone the maintenance of said equipment, perhaps you have answered you own question.Okay, that may sound snarky, but, business is business. And, high end dealers have to make money... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss @amg,Yes, I tried using equalizers, but the results were very disappointing.The good thing was that it gave me insight into how speakers are made/voiced.Re DSP:Though I haven't used it, my friends have heard/tried it, and most find it artificial. ... | |
