| Integrated Amps - another thread... Look, I'm knee (neck) deep designing an integrated amp and from what i have heard, an integrated from Rega (not sure if it's the Brio) is quit good at a great price. So don't move TOO fast.I like your system overall, at quite a modest cost. I'd l... | |
| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME watching this i can only say -- see an accountant. This is basic accounting. You need costs/bases, revenues and the difference. Clio noted the threshold, which you may or may not have met.G | |
| More watts or better power ? There’s been lots written but here are my two adds: one more factual guidance, the other my opinion based on hearing various Sonus Fabers.1. re: power vs quality - more power is only beneficial if you are exceeding the VOLTAGE limit of the amp. Th... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream how do you connect your tablet to your Bricasti DAC? Does it have the power & bandiwdth (over???) to upsample and stream both full CD and HD? the convenience and simplicity soudns alluring for many at first, but leaves lots of questions. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality you might read my crazy long posts in reply to someone;s questions re: streaming recently. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality You didnt give any data on the streaming setup or settings. Tidal, for example, has three levels of quality. The playback is critical. So you just said, "i have a convertible, its faster than my son's sedan, therefore convertibles are faster".Um,... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream However, I do not stream my music for serious, usually by myself, listening. (snip) In those instances it is LP’s, cd’s etc...I have not invested a lot into the streaming stuff,I've taken this pretty seriously and I can say, without reservation,... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream IN reply to the requests above, her is (part of) what I’ve learned.______________________________________________Guys - I’m not sure where the best place to put this all is - since i expect I’ll think of many things over time, and since i cant wri... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream Glad you found and like Hans. Happy to provide details on things i have tested and built - not because you would build it, but because it indicates what technical characteristics actually matter and which don't. Suffice it to say "buy this I did"... | |
| To Stream or not to Stream 1. There will be many opinions, some well formed, some not on ripped vs streaming, but having both, i almost never listen to my ripped CDs when there is likely a better sounding version on Tidal. Why better? Typically because they have re-mastered... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Integrated: for me, remote volume, mute, and I wish it had remote balance from my listening spot.You are so right!!!!! 2 points to your house.I’ve been doing design on an integrated with full remote for (a long time, going on 2 1/2 years but i dig... | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? DACs can have very high line output levels, up to 4V is not atypical for a balanced DAC’s XLR outputs. Compare this to a typical "audiophile" analog setup with a 0.5mV MC cartridge into a phono stage with 60dB of gain, netting 0.5V line output.... | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? thinking about many of the responses, i suspect we are confusing several issues: gain, recording volume, use of limiters and compressors to increase average playback level etc. Unless you are running a very unusual piece of equipment "more gain"... | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? So' the definition of loundness means an increase of volume but imply a reduction of dynamic, ( increase of average power and decrease of The final sound lost in matter in many case, the dynamic is the main criteria to save in live music...Cert... | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? simple answer: turn down the volume. Does the same thing and easier than any of the methods described above - they are ALL resistive divider networks. Admittedly, the volume may track poorly at low volumes and most continuous volume controls are m... |
