| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @holmz Good find! Thanks for this. @jl1ny (your question may have helped me more than it is helping you) I have been though 25% of the papers (adjacent to that link.) I think,,, that the best way to approach the problem is with some shif... | |
| Audioquest Chicago Interconnect Upgrade Options Well I'm very happy with the Audioquest Chicago cable that I have. The other option is to chase Alice down into the warren. At some point calling it a day, and just being happy is not a bad option to consider. It is your choice… and neither ... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? Ten feet from the front wall is way too far! No wonder they appear to lack bass! Try one or two feet instead! @jasonbourne52 usually I agree with you, but in this case I think that the OP needs to at least consider adding a sub(s). I base it o... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping What’s her number? | |
| Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy? Thank you all for chiming in... It sounds like the consensus is I don't risk damaging anything in the chain using the NAD... but I ought to be saving up for a better/improved pre-amp in the future :) How would the NAD damage anything? And who s... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal No @holmz my battle cry song would be The Harder They Come. I’ll read the Cliff notes to see what’s it says. Rather be a freeman in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave. Puppets and slaves may not have had a lot of choices. I a... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @ricevs thans for the link - I did not find class-D yesterday. @kuribo I don’t think he is competing with Purifi. I was thinking that his amps are all current amps, but the specs suggest a voltage amp. All of his other amps are low feedback desig... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Play you some soothing music to make you feel better ? @mapman I found their battlecry song… Twisted Sister’s “We’re not gonna take it.” | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal This whole discussion is out of place on an audio forum. One could possibly make a cogent argument that people that feel that “subjective things that cannot be proven objectively” is a group that is ripe for also distrusting other science, engi... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? It would be easier if the question was a poll for say fuses. (Like, don’t like, don’t care) Then a different thread for ICs… etc. Or a poll with the 4 things in some matrix which is either 4^3, or K-choose-N or maybe is 24 ranked options? (I woul... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I love my tube OTL to death (not an Atmasphere but from a highly respected design engineer) so if Atmasphere can engineer a Class D that sounds as good or better than a quality tube OTL, that would be AMAZING! @ltmandella maybe we can get @atma... | |
| DACs oh my! Well done going big on the speakers. (You are not going to fix a bad speaker with a DAC) I would literally consider running an 1/8 to RCA jack and running sound out of an iPhone for a while. I have heard good things about @audiotroy ’s shop, so ... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? @chungjh How old are you? Do you have friends or family that also like music? Where are you? | |
| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend for speakers check out the monitor audio platinum 200s or 300s Gen 2, for the dock check out the Wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said the 10th ... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Did you make that up? Because its not true. @noske I am to the point where I pretty much do not care. it is only that I know some people that cannot be vaccinated that I care at all. So the truthfullness of the quoted post, is sort of not the ... |
