| Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers While ultimately it depends on how they sound to you. However, it also depends on your electronics and how much time you have spent with the Martin Logan. It would be really helpful to know your components and venue… there is a place under you... | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? In general, it looks like your system is fairly well balanced. But the streamer / DAC seems likely to be holding the rest of your equipment back a bit. @soix brings up one good possibility. One of the great things about high end audio, is there i... | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! 😀 | |
| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? Some photos of your system and venue would be really helpful. There is a place under your user ID to create virtual systems. In general, the biggest challenge will likely be right and left. If there is a lot of space on the right and a close w... | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! @cdc “…While we are celebrating diseases how about happy pneumonia day?” I did not know either. 👍😄🤣 Good one | |
| New to Streaming Qobuz is the best high quality streaming service. Also, they have over half a million albums in high def. Tidal is second… then it drops off. The Bluesound streamer is probably the most common budget streamer recommended. I would also consider @s... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s OP, I hope things work out. I am sure you are aware that matching / purchasing unheard is a really difficult way to get an optimal system, one in close alinement to your preferences. If you look at how well a system fits your values as on a ten p... | |
| Hiatus @curiousjim Thats funny. As I have aged, I find I can finally sit down for extended lengths of time. My watch is always telling me it has been an hour and that I should get up. I can ignor it easily for and hour or more. | |
| Where do I go from here? The choice to go straight to streaming is the right one today. Streaming can sound better than CDs and equivalent or better than vinyl… but it depends on the price range. Vinyl wins in the <$20K digital leg area (meaning, you have to pay a ... | |
| Hiatus I think Audiophilia attracts certain types of people. Men for one, but with analytical skills, a love of nuance and subtlety, lots of cuiousity, and definitely somewhat obsessed. Depending on where you are on the scale of obsessed will probably de... | |
| I need advice on Dissimilar runs using XLR So, you really have no experience. You are just parroting something you read online. I have googled why smoking is good for you and discovered that doctors and religious people confirm smoking is good for your health. Also, that climate change... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing OP, I recommend signing up for the free month of Qubuz. My dealer pestered me for the better part of a year to switch fro Tidal to Qobuz. I finally did a couple years ago and cancelled my Tidal subscription within a couple days. While there... | |
| I need advice on Dissimilar runs using XLR @jeffrey125 Could you please relate your experiences that support your supposition. What brands, differential lengths, and components were involved in your testing? I have always desired to take some shortcuts. Wasting money has never been so... | |
| Hearing aids Great question. Fortunately one I haven’t had to ask yet, despite too many loud concerts when young. | |
| I need advice on Dissimilar runs using XLR The rule is always the same length. I have never broken it. Cables can be looked at as having hundreds of small capacitors per inch where different electrons are detained by very slightly different amounts. Often why single crystal, or fancy m... |
