| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review @roadcykler It is in no one’s best interest to review a bad product. No one. You can be sure a company making terrible sounding gear is not going to be submitting it for review and no reviewer is likely to choose it.. @soix +1 Reading revie... | |
| Sonus Faber Il Cremonese Amp Pairing suggestions @soix +1 Wow. That is fast upgrading. Congratulations. You have some word class speakers there. I completely agree with Soix. You want to let them break in and more importantly, you need to understand what your system sounds like so you can mak... | |
| Amp suggestion for BW 800D3 The classic would be MacIntosh… a massive 1,000 wpc amp. It is the muscle/ muscle combination that many folks buying those speakers go for. A Pass 350.8 would be more detailed. If I had them I would do an Audio Research Reference preamp and a pass... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Having given it a little more thought. I would not call it a review. More of a quick note that the table exists and may be worthy of further investigation. An information note. I flipped through the most recent edition. There are full form... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I would not call it a review. More of a quick note that the table exists and may be worthy of further investigation. I flipped through the most recent edition. There are full format reviews on a number of the components: Burmeister turntable, ... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Yes, that was a grossly abbreviated… more of a description. Not a review. | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I would not expect pushback either. It has been obvious to me for over thirty years. In addition to the power grid, there is a reduction of traffic. The vibration caused by truck and nearer cars are likely causes. I have a high quality seismometer... | |
| Kind of Blue Ouch… my ears…Holdsworth… after seeing Return to Forever and Kind of Blue I was not expecting that. | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal OP, So the issue is with the Conductor app. Are you using version 3 or 4? Aurender introduced the new Conductor 4 app a few months ago. There have been some problems for some folks, it was a major upgrade. I have introduced new software to large... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 I just have to say that my search for the right power cord went on for nearly a year. The problem I had was that most cords (high end) would ever so slightly attenuate the treble. The Hurricane did not… even a little. So, perhaps it depends on wha... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal @jgjg123 Qobuz has the best sound quality and a much larger collection of high resolution albums than Tidal. If you are using a streamer the software is constructed by the streamer manufacturer and not Qobuz. How are you streaming? I have us... | |

| Step Up Transformer with Moving Iron Cartridge? What is your phono stage? … and the rest of your system for that matter. | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? 👍 Two direct lines… one for amp and one for the remainder of your components. The failure rate of it not providing a significant improvement in sound quality is extremely small. If it happened to you once, then it is unlikely to happen again somew... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps The best way to position a big amp is by themselves in between the speakers on an amp stand with the other components to the side. |
