| I knew room treatments were in my future. For me, I'd measure first, then try the less expensive ideas, listen and measure again, and only after that spend $750 each for Stillpoints. The idea that this is could be the *first* thing suggested is pretty rash. | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? @krelldreams We like it down here. Weather is fine. Air is full of oxygen, easy to think clearly. | |
| DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2 +1 soix, fuzztone Pretty sure that Qobuz is the way to go, though the half-price-ness of Amazon has "got me goin' now." | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals @bjesien Excellent! Really enjoyed reading that and I think it's quite informative for my purposes.I'm interested, especially, in the nature of attention, and often when people switch gear a lot, it's due to an inability to pay deep attention. In ... | |
| DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2 This might get you started: https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=dac+for+bluesound | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? @douglas_schroeder Tweaks are how you do not build a great audio system. Who asserted that? | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals @bjesien That’s really interesting. I’m planning to write a paper about audio listening (an academic, philosophy paper) and I’m interested in different approaches.Would it be safe to say that you try things until you either like them or don’t like... | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. @ebm And at $750 each you think they're good enough to try *even before* doing an analysis of the room? If so, that's very high praise indeed! | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals @bjesien I listen to and tweak gear for 2-3 months before moving from impression to forming a real opinion, rarely owning something for less than a year or more, unless I find myself not pressing the power button. You're comfortable moving on af... | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. @ebmStillpoint Apatures get 4 ASAP for the best sound.Are those $750 each? You're recommending he get 4 of them right away? Or am I looking up the wrong things? | |
| New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily) @sandthemall Thanks for relaying your story. Supporting one another in this way is just about the best thing a forum like this can do. I'm really glad to hear about your improvement and will look into homeopathy. | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? @erik_squires Thanks for the link. I always enjoy your blog posts and have learned a lot.I think about the B&W move akin to the salt-fat-sugar approach to food. Get their attention and hook them with primal urges. (Only at home to they get fat... | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? So, just a follow up on the speaker stands I chose. I went with Deer Creek Audio for 20" stands. They were $730 for the stands plus another $110 to drill 8 holes in the bottoms for 8 screw/spikes. Total, then, was $840 because I picked them up, lo... | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? @twoleftears And I held them in *really* high esteem, so they have really fallen.I like your question about the reverse. And one has to be careful with these questions, since there can be a gap between the lower line of a brand and their upper lev... | |
| Raise my subwoofers off the ground approximately 12”? My REL 528 has a passive radiator on the bottom. Do I want them raised up? Any advice? |
