| Network player control apps fuzztone, thanks for sharing the link. Maybe more complicated than I realized. I not this was from early 2018 and wonder if some of the bumps have been smoothed down since then? | |
| Network player control apps Mahler, good idea. I will check. | |
| Network player control apps Thanks, noble 100. If the Lumin app with iPad control is functional, then my my focus shifts to what must I spend on an outboard DAC to significantly better the dual Wolfsons in the D2. Aurender forces you to buy the DAC up front, so think I will ... | |
| Openning a hi fi shop If Agon had a "like" button, I would "like" what erik_squires and dweller said. Hence, ditto. | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Yin/Yang. Can't have one without the other. The reality lies in the eternal tension, the inherent fusion. Not a contradiction. The nature of being. Like a chemically inert atom. | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Loudspeakers transduce electrical energy back to acoustic where the long transduction chain began. Now the HA pick up the sound waves in the air, transduce to electrical, amplify, then retransduce to acoustical. If the loudspeakers are outputting ... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! 18 months ago I got HA for reasons unrelated to audio listening (difficulty distinguishing individual voices in group settings, a common complaint with aging ears). What I found was a shock. Audio system came alive, while in social situations the ... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Can anyone here compete with vinylvalet? That's off the charts. | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers n80 and others: ditto. Had an extended discussion with an old friend, symphony player since high school (a prodigy). He says musicians cannot be impressed by anything less than the sound of real music being played in real space. You may have the b... | |
| Why is black so popular for components? Right on, chorus. We know black is cheap. We know black is "cool." Hofuckinghum. What black is NOT is visibly functional or relatably human. I don't envy Darth Vader's kit. Those who do are simply made of different stuff than we. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? Remember when, in the 1980s, silver audio components suddenly became unobtainable? You'd have thought Henry "any color so long as it's black" had been put in charge. Well, I HATE any product, audio or otherwise, that is both black and (theoretical... | |

| Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday! Wood floors here too. Herbie's threaded gliders on leather mats. Bit of dispersion with some muffling. Works for me, at least for now. | |
| Moving to France Depending on what level of anarchy ensues in November & after -- I myself will be away in a holding zone with France high on the more permanent escape route list -- no major audio equipment coming along for this ride. Dragonfly and powered sp... | |
| According to the RIAA, It doesn't look good for physical media Bought virgin vinyl, half-speed mastered Japanese pressings of 1970s classics back in the day. Still unopened cello-wrap. Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and so forth. Of course then I couldn't forese the advent of streaming, so LP/CD play i... |
