| Where are the young audiophiles? Honestly, there are too many other choices now. When I talk to kids my daughter's age or older (12), they're all into gaming. Gaming is a major time sucker as we all know. Where's the time for music? | |
| Best amp for 4 Sonos ceiling speakers? I think it's these? https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/architecturalI would use their AMP module and this way you can add in their truplay room correction abilities. | |
| Anthem STR or BHK (PS Audio) preamp?? Thoughts Of course it won't FIX a bad room but it will do wonders for bass reproduction, the toughest part of any room to optimize. ARC is there to help with rooms that cannot be optimized due to space, wives, etc. It's not a "cherry on top" tweak. If t... | |
| Anthem STR or BHK (PS Audio) preamp?? Thoughts 1. Room isn't treated well enough to get the maximum out of ARC yet.Isn't the fact that the room is not well treated a greater reason to use ARC? | |
| Streamer wanted I own the Innuos mini. Nice step up from a sonos port. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Worst concerts for me have typically been stadium shows. Went to a Guns and roses, Deep purple and Aerosmith combined concert in Meadowlands stadium. The sound was awful, the performers seemed uninspired and during Deep Purple's smoke covered wa... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I have no horse in the sound quality wars. I find it remarkable that records sound as good as they do given the obsolete technology. As far as record collections being “investments” they are certainly emotional investments but not financial. When ... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Room correction with room treatment are the biggest dramatic changes you can make. Anything else not even close, even new speakers. If you can’t or won’t treat the room I’d look into room correction with something like minidsp with Dirac or the an... | |
| Best Digital Music Server I got the Innuos Zen Mini. Ticks all of your boxes. Fantastic product. | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" There are other high end fully acive speakers out there. Dynaudio, Kii among others. I have the Avantgarde zero 1 xd pros. Fully active, time and phase aligned with room correction options. Awesome speakers. Very High end. | |
| Analog room correction for vinyl No acoustic treatment is going to solve bass issues in a room. For analog correction this is the ticket:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/689907-REG/Millennia_NSEQ_2_NSEQ_2_Twin_Topology.htmlMeasure your room with REW and a calibrated mic and... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd It could be just a volume issue. Just a few decibels louder sounds better in almost all cases. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I don't know if you would want to be locked into a particular manufacturer's products but I think the Steinway Lyngdorf line of speakers like the model S or O are spectacular in both sound and looks. Only problem is that you would need to use the... | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? "The only advantages that the Anthem STR & the Lyngdorf have is room correction."This, IMO though, is the major advantage. Room correction will make magnitudes of order greater and positive difference over any DAC or streamer changes. It's n... |
