| Are CD lens cleaners (disks) B.S. or effective? I had a cleaner pad and fluid if I experienced a skip. I noticed no improvement with just cleaning. I used the fluorescent green edge pens… those I’d help improve the sonics a little bit… stray light bouncing around I am sure. | |
| Unfinished basement listening room OP, Thank you. I listen about three hours a day and have to drag myself away. However, for much of my audio history it has not been pretty… I think most folks here are primarily concerned with sound more than looks. You can always update photos. | |
| Unfinished basement listening room OP, How about some photos under your UserID… virtual systems. It would be great to see what you are talking about. | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album OP, Is it always on the same side? | |
| Audio PC OP, I think we need some context to be helpful. For high quality audio you need a streamer… which is technically a PC, but designed around being nothing else… a great steamer will weigh 30 lbs or more, look like an audio component and do nothing ... | |
| Interconnect or USB cable Unfortunately, it just depends on your components and system. I have had analog, digital, USB, or power cord make a huge difference… or not. I typically I do speaker cable first, then interconnects, amp power cords next, and finally USB, My dealer... | |
| Preferences and system dependent OP, Thanks for sharing. Great to hear your feedback in your system. I was privileged to have a pair of Nordost Odin 2 in my system for a couple weeks. They were sublime. Clearly what you hear will be highly dependent on your equipment. In ... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? @fleschler Amazing. I used to shop at PDQ Records in Tucson. Unfortunately, the closed a few years ago. Been there? Are you a record guy… Don’t care much about the system… or both. Love to see what a collection like that looks like. | |
| Analog vs. digital @deludedaudiophile +1. Don’t forget that we have not landed on the moon also. | |
| Proper set up: worth the chase Congratulations. I used to own a couple different pair of planar speakers known for their dependence on exact placement (like 1/8th inch)… it was absolutely true… they would snap into focus… the performance would double. After owning for well ... | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? Interconnects can be a very important components in a system. The better the boxes in your system the more important the interconnects are. With cheap interconnects the actually materials are important and maybe the configuration. But as the cost ... | |
| After the thrill is gone @curiousjim Add a pair of super tweeters and I bet you get what you are missing back and keep all the good stuff. | |
| Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board I don’t often make a big mistakes, but when I do… I do what you are doing. Do the best to mitigate the problem… then sell it. Get what you can. Or throw it in the trash and caulk it up to experience. It was great of you to support a local artisan.... | |
| Analog vs. digital @charles1dad @lalitk +1 The components rendering the sound determine output, not the storage format… well, unless it is really low resolution (MP3). | |
| Streaming Qobuz via iPad OP, I am not at all surprised you are confused. I really try not to be judgmental about equipment. But I spent about 15 minutes with the manual for your unit. It is the very essence of does absolutely everything, but does nothing well. If you ar... |
