| Qobuz hell I love Quboz, it has revolutionized how I discover and listen to music. I have zero issues with the service. It’s regretful that a few have problems, but this should not dissuade others from trying it. | |
| Favourite Guitarists I saw Rory Gallagher at the Falls Church VA Community Center in either 1972 or 1973, no kidding. Saw Peter Frampton there as well as Nils Lofgren and Brownsville Station. Those days were different… | |
| Favourite Guitarists Boy, I put Derek Trucks above all here. I can’t believe no one has mentioned him. He can play anything, just like Danny Gatton, and has an amazing musical relationship with his wife. Tedeschi-Trucks Band is fantastic. And add Trey Anastasio playin... | |
| The Purest Tonality Under $50K ? New $9K Luxman L-507z Integrated Amp Review Rick2000, 😁 | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! This is a case where one actually has to listen to the YouTube files before making pronouncements. TycoDogg made a series of carefully recorded comparisons on YouTube between differing 6SN7 tubes utilizing the original Schiit Freya. Overall quali... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? And thanks to Lone Mountain bringing ATC Entry Series over here! | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? I have ATC SCM7’s second generation, new ATC SCM40’s, and still have ATC SCM35’s. The latter replace biamped Dahlquist DQ10’s with double subwoofers. I have listened to numerous other ATC models, both in the professional and consumer lines, some a... | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. I started in 1972 with Advents, Sansui 2000x, and Dual 1215S with Shure M91E, as a 15 year old paperboy. Upgraded constantly for 10 years, then sat mostly tight for 3 decades while raising kids and doing a career with lots of moves. Now, I have fu... | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home Folks are hostile to MQA because there is no trust where funny business that is not explained is going on. I was appalled at Absolute Sounds promotion of it. It sounds like an attempt to reproduce the flaws of vinyl- overly smooth, rolled-off high... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound My experience is that in general high res Quboz sounds better than anything else on my stereo. Tidal MQA are more variable, usually sounding smoother and warmer, more like vinyl (I interpret as MQA adding pleasing distortions). Sometimes, as with ... | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? My Niagara 1200 resulted in a noticeable improvement in noise floor reduction and increase in inner detail while not limiting dynamics at all, replacing earlier generation PS Audio gear. Big thumbs up. | |
| Neutral Dac? I am very happy with my Yggdrasil. Music has life and drive. So, I disagree with those that say the entry point is $5K or above. I’ve heard those too. | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? That video of the balloon guy was amazing. I have never heard mono that can remotely match the depth and location information that a stereo speaker set can. | |
| The character of analog and digital Add my voice to the chorus, welcome back Millercarbon! | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC I love the sound of Schiit Dacs. They have drive…from the Modi Multibit to the Yggdrasil. |
