| Speakers versus Balance vs Amplifier @carlsbad2 What brand of hearing aids has the "HIFI music" setting? Can't wait to try them . . . | |
| Time of Day for best Sound My experience mirrors that of @ghdprentice and @yoyoyaya, and this has been quite consistent over the years, with Sunday evening after 9pm being absolute prime time. Seems the result not just of lower in-home power competition, but of neighborhood... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app "It doesn't have the Play triangle on the album's song listing showing which track is currently playing." I would consider that a major defect. Does it allow user to select cuts to play from a Qobuz playlist? | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Dylan, Blood on the Tracks (his best material & sonics) Fleetwood Mac, Eponymous, 1975 (ditto) Pink Floyd, Dark Side (material -- Floyd sonics are consistently fine) Counting Crows, August and Everything After (abundance) Neil Young, Afte... | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations @ where test | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? This is a test. Tried posting and was asked to verify phone #. They sent a code which I dittoed. Physical address already on file. | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip A dealer friend on this forum is currently making custom power cables and sold one to me specifically for wall-to-conditioner which serves line preamp, DAC, streamer and subs. Current cable is 10 already AWG, but dealer says his will sound more op... | |

| How to prevent visitors from touching your system Only trouble I have had is people thinking the premium-finish floorstander nearest the entry door is a bar table for their drinks. The solution was directing traffic quickly away from the audio equipment wall. Visitors tend to be intimidated or in... | |
| Stephen Stills @roxy54 @bigtwin And "Powderfinger." Look out, mama, there’s a white boat comin’ up the river With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail I think you’d better call John ’cause it don't look like they’re here to deliver (pause) the mai... | |
| Stephen Stills "Yes, Neil has produced a lot of music, but quite a bit of it has been sub-par too." The only reasonable way of comparing songwriters is best-to-best. Say, best 10 vs. best 10 (even Dylan wrote some crap, you know). But this gets tricky, because ... | |
| How rare is an audiophile I personally know one aspiring audiophile who can afford anything and is ready for an system upgrade; have met a radio engineer who admired my system and wished for something equivalent; and today learned that my cousin's son is a music blogger. S... | |
| How does one pick in this situation? Wanted to see @labguy's system to understand the discussion, but the link sends me elsewhere. Just a bad link, or do I need some higher level of membership? I have certainly viewed many other systems in the past (e.g., who could forget MC's cable ... | |
| millercarbon Once upon a time I wrote a post in MC's defense which he quickly honored as "Post Of The Year" and reprinted in full. Few months later, he delivered one of those insanely paranoid political rants that has no business here (or in any half-serious ... |
