| Musical Expectation Bias @tablejockey +1 Relevant to music not audio equipment. | |
| Speaker hum. OP, Sorry you cannot put in direct lines… two is standard. One for components and one for amp. It would improve sound quality and take care of ground loops. Before I got my second direct line, I just had to plug everything into a single ou... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @dhite71 +1 There has been this old adage of tube watts being more powerful than solid state watts. For most of the last fifty years I used mammoth high powered solid state amps. Then about five years ago switched to Audio Research Refere... | |
| Warped record @czarivey +1 Yes warps come in all magnitudes. All but the smallest will be heard. You should return it. @ellajeanelle Sure… but I would relax. It isn’t a conspiracy. Different errors and knowledge comes from different channels. If you buy... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers A friend of mine brought over a set of AGD monoblocks to try in my system for an afternoon. They performed extremely well for their cost (?$8K). Natural sounding and dynamic. I was comparing them against my Audio Research Reference 160m monoblocks... | |

| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Ok, so not the real obvious stuff. You have a challenge. Given what you have tried sounds like your logically taking apart the problem… logic will eventually succeed. I’m looking forward to hearing what successfully solves this. | |
| Speaker hum. Direct lines for your equipment… better than sharing. | |
| Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing @leemaze +1 What volume do you listen at? The answer in db will help us assess what volumes you are talking about. No way I would sell a great set of speakers I like because of a move. Set up first, then see if there is a problem. Then ... | |
| Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend? Congratulations, it’s great when pursuits end in joy. | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Ok, this is really interesting… I am sure not so much for you. +1 @audphile1 You are comparing this to analog? I see some albums in your photos. Because this sounds like a power problem to me. My streamers are extremely insensitive to the in... | |
| Basic Music Purchase Question Sometimes Qobuz changes the address and a song or album will be shown as gone, but if you search for the album / song… it is there, and you only need save to library again. |
