| Parasound vs Coda @1extreme +1. I love those meters and the look. About once every five years I have gone in to buy a Mac component, sat down and listened to it for thirty seconds and gave up. The sound quality is not what I am looking for… they are like muscle c... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @mc1969 That is not how it normally works. Maybe there is a temporary glitch, but while the menus are a bit tricky to navigate to the right place it is simple to create one or more systems, attach photos, and identify components. | |
| Tube amp and correct speaker connections. OP, 👍 | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections I have owned and streamed using PC, MAC, IPad, $2K, $3.5K, $5K, $10K, $13K, and $22K streamers. In each case absolutely worth the increased sound quality supplied by that level of investment / performance assuming you have a system.. DAC, Preamp, ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @mbmi That is very definitely true for some folks. Definitely worth a listen. But for many their sound quality is not for us. | |
| Room divider OP, Yes, just add photos to your virtual system. It is easy to add photos there. | |
| My history with treble. @jjss49 Thanks for your comments. I think you were observant as well. I listened to music, probably a lot more than most. I was a geologist and drove for over 8 hours a day, I had a very high end portable system in my motel room (think bad tre... | |
| Turntable Thrumming What is the frequency of the noise? Is it 33.3 one per turn of the table? | |
| Tube amp and correct speaker connections. OP, Good question. The first time I was presented with this situation I was stumped as well. @rodman99999 +1 Absolutely, try and decide is the answer. Which ever sounds better. It is not an electrically question, but a sound quality question. ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? OP… “With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment from manufacturers around the globe”. I am puzzled at the question. I don’t think insane prices (so, say high ticket, Boulder, and dCS… etc) are even remotely being competed in produ... | |
| Digital music questions @soix +1 @yage -1 All the words and logic you can muster about bits will not change the fact that vastly different sound quality comes from the same bits run through different components doing the same thing. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @pcrhkr Nice system. Clearly well chosen. I have a Prima Luna integrated and think it sounds great. I don’t think you need be hesitant at all to show it. Pride of ownership comes from the passion and effort you put in carefully choosing and inte... | |
| My history with treble. @wolf_garcia Nelson Pass started Threshold in 1974 and was designer of their amps. They followed with preamps not designed by him. | |
| Tube arch I have to ask. Are you sure you need all that power? I had monster solid state amps for well over thirty years. It was clear that more power made a big difference in the overall sound quality. Overpowering was always good. A few years ago I s... | |
| Room divider Be very careful. Typically most of us dampen the area behind the listeners seat to prevent rear reflections. I fortunately have a really large room and there is nothing behind my chair and that is a blessing. Room acoustics are unique, so perhaps... |
