| How loud is too loud Just a little addendum to roberjerman's explanation. "Loudness" switch was pretty much ubiquitous on 1970s-1980s amplifiers/receivers. However, these days Luxman and Accuphase still include "Loudness" on, at least, their integrated amplifiers. It ... | |
| Do You own a Dual Cs5000? How does it sound compared to other Turntables? I have experience with Dual 5000 and, before that, with Dual 1225. Dual 5000 is surely a looker, but the magic was missing. Dual 1225 was practically what I started listening to music on and it may still be the most musical thing I have heard. If ... | |
| listening to music in the car albertporter,I am by no means adept at computers beyond turning on/off and a few more very-low-user actions. I learn the dumbest way, from own experience, so I deducted a few things from your story and my experience. CarPlay has to be used via iPh... | |
| listening to music in the car albertporter,with my experience, if I were you, I would do what I already did. I waved the white flag, bought 512 GB SD card (that is how I know it works despite instructions saying it is only up to, if I remember correctly, 64GB), and bought dBpo... | |
| listening to music in the car I am glad I found this thread because I do not feel fully an oddball anymore. I accepted that car environment and, probably, lesser quality electronics will degrade sound from what I am used at home. Still, when looking for a new car, I went aroun... | |
| THE GRYPHON HAS LANDED at THE SHOW NEWPORT | THE SHOW JUNE 1-3 2018 Advertisement as any other and some may find it interesting. I am more curious, given the history and my experience, if you will even be able to buy Gryphon via On A Higher Note. With Luxman, it was as close to impossible as it gets. For some reas... | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies In case it means anything to anyone, it seems that Bluesound does not play DSD files. Auralic Aries does and seems to be way more advanced. Still, it also seem to require NAS somewhere else in the home and is not a dedicated music player. Please l... | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies Echolane,From my own experience, classical tags are painful. I just finished re-tagging all my classical music. What is out there, on the Internet and automatic tagging services, is beyond inconsistent. If you are picky about it, you are in for fr... | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies I have no experience with Bluesound. However, SONY can rip CDs directly to the machine. Just connect a CD drive ($25 at Best Buy) to it. It is $2000 so that may be the limiting point that OP may need to decide for himself. Otherwise, as non-comput... | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies I forgot to add, in case you do decide on SONY HAP-Z1 ES, feel free to ask for details about ripping, etc. It would not make sense to go into it now, but offer stands. | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies You sound like me. I bought SONY HAP-Z1 ES more than two years ago. It feels like just another piece of gear in the old-school way, but works for what you need it for. Sound is great, plays whatever you throw in it, I believe. Simple to operate, b... | |
| McIntosh vs. Vincent The Unison Reserach gear is famous for superb circuit design, Italian craftsmenship, and outstanding sonics.I have heard a lot about Unison and everybody praised the sound. I have no knowledge of circuit design, but I believe your praise 100%. How... | |
| Am I dreaming? Seeing "once you have mac, you never go back" mentioned a few times in one thread, one cannot but wonder if it is better never to have one. It leaves the door open instead of closing it forever.It does not say why people do not leave McIntosh. Sou... | |
| Am I dreaming? Try Luxman. Class A is great, but do not underestimate their regular offerings. They certainly are worth a listen. Not to mention, if you have been in this for 40 years, you might have had something that looked like Luxman when you were younger. I... | |
| When you suddenly realize.... It is great that it worls for some, but I find Tidal missing content. Ok, do not burn me at stake for saying that, but it is true.I visited a nice equipment shop in Northern Virginia to check some speakers out. Very friendly salesman brought an iP... |
