| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? If this thread was entitled, "DVD or Video streaming" is there a chance that anyone who recognized the higher quality picture of DVD (assume that’s true for the sake of this example) would forego streaming? It seems obvious that virtually no one w... | |
| Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves? These debates are frequently hard to sort out on an audio forum, because they come back to what kind of opportunity cost it is for *you* to keep potential money locked up in those speakers. If you had something else valuable to your audio endeavor... | |
| Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves? I've always been curious about the Sierra's -- right up to the point of buying them. I bought Salk SS6m's. I love them.One consideration might be the speaker-room synergy or lack thereof. One speaker is a tower and the other is stand mount, no? Pe... | |

| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy @rego I see your point. I should have titled my post something more neutral, like, "OCD Guy claims to be doing a ’takedown’ of pricey servers." I put my post in a short, headline type style but I was hoping just to generate a conversation with thi... | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? REW software, a UMIK microphone, and time to learn about acoustics and measuring.Rooms are so different, as are preferences, that until you really know what you want to change and why, suggestions about products just creates a needle-in-a-haystack... | |
| Need DAC Ideas May I ask why you set your low range at $1.8k? | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy @rego I’m not the one making the assertion. I’m reporting it. Your debate is with @mikepowellaudio I trust you understand that. Perhaps he’ll engage your points. Ok? | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy OP, here. Thanks, Mike, for replying to this thread. I enjoy your videos and thought you were posing a legitimate question -- not about whether people have a "right" (funny word) to pay what they want for a piece of gear, but whether others had se... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @rhodes My favorite Clint scene is when he yells at an empty chair. | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? I think the OP is answered. Here's where this thread seems to dead-end for me.Thanks to @jjss49 @corente @headphonedreams for offering detailed answers with justifications about where things stand. Plus, your sense of what that implies for the bes... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @millercarbon No, it's you who are missing the point. The OP explicitly asked for the analog snobs to keep their yaps closed if they couldn't contribute. But no, you have to chime in with how analog is so superior. Why are you even in the "digital... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @millercarbon Not all of us can live in the 1950's. "Get off my lawn you kids!" LOL! | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? @teo my question was not implying “good enough” or at least i didn’t meant to. It was simply about the rate of change. Only people with limitless amounts of money are able to waste it on a technology that is about to have an improvement only a cou... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? Great answers so far! Thanks.@tvad wrote,From my perspective, it’s impossible to "get ahead". One either make a choice to be frugal, or one makes a choice to buy the best one can afford knowing both will be bettered relatively soon.Agreed, but "fr... |
