Poor Fritz
Kenjit if you can complain this much about the speaker industry, I wonder what you think of the recording Industry? 
Poor Fritz
Kenjit I believe these high end speaker manufacturers make speakers for profit and not for practice like you would be doing. 
I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino
You didn't like the sound of krell because you never heard it with the right preamp. I couldn't even listen to my krell amp with solid state preamps, at least the ones in my price range, but with a tube preamp it sounds great. 
Serious Problems with Qobuz
Post no  more then, I already told you that tidal has the same problems of not having something available that was before. The nature of streaming is conflict with licencing. Just canc 
SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable?
No, they are two different formats. The main difference is that I2S contains both data and the clock (separate wires), while with S/Pdif you have to extract clock from the data stream (one wire).  Yes, you can have multiple devices on I2S bus, b... 
SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable?
Does SPDIF just take the I2S format and just change into a single connection instead of 5 connections. 
Serious Problems with Qobuz
Did you read all the small print on your subscription, I don't think they guarantee that they will always have the music that they may have at any given time. They are still way better than cable or satellite tv, who will make you sign a contract ... 
The psychological factor
Wouldn't it be better to have the preamp matched to the amp, so that at the amps max output the preamp volume control would be up above 12:00 taking the deficiencies of the volume control out of the equation. 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
I haven't been posting hear long, but been reading and learning for a while, and Al has a vast knowledge that was easy to understand. We should all try to be more like him, never a negative word, even though there were times that I didn't know how... 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Vintage krell amps are only bright if you don't match them to the right upstream equipment. 
What makes a DAC so expensive?
Mahgister I agree some are more transparent than others, sometimes the ones that measure great sound like hifi and not like real music and some that don't measure as well sound closer to real music. I do not believe the measurements we currently u... 
What makes a DAC so expensive?
They aren't even audibly transparent. 
What makes a DAC so expensive?
If it results in distortion then it is measurable. If it is above a certain level it will be audible. If it is audible then it's a lousy DAC sell it to an audiophile and move on. DACs that are well engineered DO NOT have sound signatures they are... 
For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question
There is a guy on another forum that biamps with the 400's and the 800's into a pair of apogee full range. 
ls FM radio even listenable any more?
I believe it depends on how much compression the fm station uses. The stations that use a lot of compression sound bad on a good system and the stations that use very little sound much better.
