| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? OP, Ok, you were posting on multi format players. My point was when you buy a player, it is set for the resolution of the player. Then as higher resolutions are available and become available you will not be getting them. Buying an inexpen... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change @mapman +1 I have been a hard core enthusiast for 50 years. It has always been a niche market. It has always been on the brink of disaster. But the breathtaking increase in products available has been amazing. If this is a dying pursuit, then ... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? @rockysantoro What is your system? There is a place to show it under your ID. This is really helpful to see where you are coming from. What streamers have you tried? | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? @jafant I love your system venue… so clean. You have lots of players, what are you using to stream? | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation I have had no latency issues with the sound bar. A couple times the TV optical output would cause latency… I would reboot the TV and it would go away. It was the TV, not the sound bar. After living with this for about eight months. I am really ha... | |
| To truly enjoy this hobby, I need to learn electronics. Any book recs? Interesting question. If you want to become proficient at choosing components that sound great then you want to learn about the high end from Robert Harley’s book: The Complete Guide to High End Audio. This is because the electrical circuits are n... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? OP… “It seems as if the sound is too intense, if that makes sense.” That sounds like the bias in the amp is set too high. I got an amp on loan one time… it sounded terrible (high end audiophile amp of great repute) and it almost sounded like bein... | |
| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget OP, sounds like a good choice. I will be honest, Blue Jeans to me were no better than the ones that came with budget equipment. I would enjoy your new cables and your system. Then, if you choose, think about upgrading your components… if you want ... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I always stay away from converters. Add extra stuff to the signal path is always a bad thing. I use what is native. Which input is better is always dependent on the output device and the input device. USB has recently added to the list of legi... | |
| Speaker Placement and Toe-In The equilateral triangle is a thing…. True more often then not. The toe-in worth the search. Nothing wrong with being lazy for six months… then changing it a bit. Wait a while… then try something else. I am lazy… but over time, your system will... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones under $250 @mattmiller +1 good recommendation. | |
| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? OP, Sounds to me like you made a good case for streaming to be better sound quality soon, if it is not now. (today, it simply depends which one you are comparing to which). Consider a player is an optical computer file storage device, a streamer... | |
| Suggestions for a digital cable. WireWorld, AudioQuest and Transparent are the largest selling high end cable companies according to a survey of thousands of a audiophiles last year. Just useful info. | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? I have to recommend more listening and less thinking. ASR and lots of thinking take you away from great sound quality and lots of fruitless discussions. | |
| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? No. The difference is incredibly subtle and contingent on your specific components and length of run (if dozens of feet). When you get to own the best system you have ever imagined… then bring this issue up again. For now, rca will do the job and ... |
