| How good is good enough? @mahgister There is an end in acoustic because acoustic unlike a piece of gear is not a new panel, it is a room designing process made for a specific speakers/room relation ...The end of this process is programmed by acoustic principle applicat... | |
| How good is good enough? “that criteria can be settled in advance, with examples marching in afterwards to be judged like contestants in a beauty contest” The question is not based on an objective reality, but how good enough it is for YOU? It's not a question of obje... | |
| How good is good enough? Very good post! My answer will be because we refuse or do not understand why we must learn minimal basic acoustics concepts and how experimenting with them ... Thank you! The only problem I see with your argument is that there are people who ... | |
| Better desktop DAC I like the Schiit Bifrost 2/64 for your parameters. About DSD, I'll quote from this forum and perhaps it will relieve you of that requirement. "Here are Mike Moffat's comments on DSD from a Headfi article. Mike is the cofounder of Schiit and devel... | |
| How good is good enough? To constantly strive for better sound is an endless quest, not necessarily based on the quality of our set but on our personality. This is another thread about when a certain quantity of quality sound is "enough." Having heard this question um... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k HiFi Rose is very nice. This also gets very good reviews: https://lyngdorf.steinwaylyngdorf.com/lyngdorf-tdai-3400/ | |
| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? Two subs over one, Rythmik over REL. I have both. In my opinion, REL is good but overpriced, given (a) the flexibility of control available on Rythmik (adjustable phase, especially) and (b) the premium paid for REL. REL fanboys will disagree, but ... | |
| Upgraded from Node to 432-evo-aeon-music-server and its another world sonically What percent of the upgraded sound would you attribute to the streamer and what percent to the DAC? As far as I can tell you have upgraded both, and many may have gotten those improvements by simply upgrading their DAC. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? I am with @decooney "musical" for me is when a system or live performance is engaging, non-fatiguing, and very pleasant to listen to. You'll know when it draws you in for more. For me, the key to his definition is the inclusion of "non-fati... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! I have surfed a bunch of Dick’s Picks but to my ear Go to Nassau (2002 release of May 15/16 1980 concert) is a cut above, sonically. Maybe this is why (via Wikipedia): "The shows were recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour and selections were... | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? I have only used F&F for small purchases such as inexpensive cables. Otherwise, it's an absolutely reasonable default for a buyer to not get shanked. Not to put too fine a point on it but: How could it possibly be otherwise? | |
| 10 Wonderful things and 10 bad things about the audiophile world. @donavabdear To get the most out of a speaker the driver needs to be designed with a particular amp. There are many reasons for this if there is one amp and 2 drivers putting out different frequencies you are compromising the potential performa... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? it took over 500 words to ask the question if folks are tired of this forum. you have my answer. Pretty good demonstration of the irritating and obtuse kind of post that people get tired of. If that was your goal -- well played! | |
| 10 Wonderful things and 10 bad things about the audiophile world. #1 Speakers and amps need to be made synergistically. Why "made"? Why not just matched? #3. High End audio companies rarely show scientific measurements. Why not? Would they guide people? Why? My sense is that most do not know what to do with... | |
| DACed and Confused here... +1 @soix -- Agree on not underspending. If you buy used you can re-sell for around the same price. A bit of hassle for a lot of learning. I'd get the Denafrips Pontus and live with it for a while. Just my two cents. (I don't own Denafrips, by the ... |
