| Do you ever do this before you listen? chewing gum or just swallowing gives the same effects.............most of the time. Any medical professional will caution against manually popping your ears - how hard do you have to "blow" to achieve it? | |
| Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers Way back when, I streamed with a desktop PC running XP and WMP into a Rega DAC and was happy with the sound.Next, I streamed with a newer PC running 10 and Foobar into the same DAC and was happier with the sound.Next I streamed with an iMac using ... | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear @PessenDon't ignore receivers just because you don't need a radio.They look fantastic when all lit up. Much nicer than a plain brushed aluminium face amp with a little power light.I picked up a small Pioneer 24 watt receiver for $40 and it sounds ... | |

| Class A Options for adding Roon and MQA to existing system ok, thanks for the reply.Your ad reads as $,500 and I thought it could be any number missing. :)). Sorry about that.I actually got mine, with upsizeded HDD, second hand for not too much more than AU$1500. You never know your luck. | |
| Class A Options for adding Roon and MQA to existing system Have a look at the Antipodes range.I have a DS which rips, serves and streams.It sounds wonderful to my ears using the USB output to my DAC but it works well with RCA outputs too.Don't worry too much about the SS drive, I can't hear the Antipodes ... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers @pstoresHave you considered Zu? They are in Utah. I have a pair of the Soul Superfly, very efficient like all of their speakers. I run them with various low powered valve amps, even a little 2.5W Miniwatt that can drive them to uncomfortably lou... | |

| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp CDs that I have FLAC ripped to my Antipodes server and play from there via USB through my Denafrips Pontus DAC, definitely sound better than via my Rega Apollo CDP.More body, more detail, less strident treble. No contest in my opinion | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) My Zu Soul Superflys sound pretty coherent , to my ears. As do my KEF Transmission Lines.They both display differences dependent on the source, of course. I like to swap amps around. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels as extravaganza said, a pair of Klipschorns. End of story. They work well with Peachtree amps too. |
