| Best audio prank ideas I know it’s all in good fun but messing with a man’s audio system is like messing with his car, it’s just not done. I suppose it’s true for women as well who pursue those interests. | |
| Listening My setup is in a dedicated listening room (with a nook dedicated to work desk). I have music on all day pretty much everyday as soon as I am up. When I’m done working or it’s the weekend it’s in the chair in the sweet spot for critical listening... | |
| Is it the gear or the ears? That was good, thanks for that I quite enjoyed it. | |
| Who is Roon? @devinplombier it did cross my mind that you might have been sarcastic. Unfortunately it’s tough sometimes to make that clear. Sorry about that! | |
| Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro I use a MacBook Pro via usb to my Pontus II. I use the Qobuz app that runs directly on my Mac OS. No iPhone or AirPlay required. The Qobuz app will tell you what bit depth and sampling rate the song you are listening to is and your DAC should r... | |
| Who is Roon? John Galt’s roommate. Roon is not open source / free, therefore it is superior. This is a false statement. Plenty of open source software that is just performant and reliable as any proprietary software. sorry I have nothing to add about ... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? How low are low levels? I listen somewhat near field at around 50-60 db and get very good results from my Fritz Rev 7s. Not sure how loudly you listen but 50-60 is about the level of a normal conversation. I have a 5 band equalizer on my integr... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? @deep_333 always helpful. | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a I have a pair of Falcon Q7s (which are LS3/5as in a slightly larger volume cabinet) that I run using a McIntosh MA8900 and they sound excellent with this integrated amp. No sibilance with a wide and deep soundstage, and excellent imaging. I don’... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? @peterf6 the screams I refer to are all DLR. You are correct about Anthony having a much higher vocal range and his backing vocals were excellent. Your Brandi Carlile mention reminded me of her outstanding cover of Soundgardens Searching Wirh My... | |
| Subwoofer connection The two already mentioned should get you connected. @yogiboy solution if you don’t have high level connectors for your sub. I think you can also use the Adapter output but not entirely sure of that one. | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Bought my Sony Bravia OLED from Crutchfield 4 years ago. Delivery was great, I did the wall mount install myself which was easy. Crutchfield is great, I’ve been buying electronics from them for decades and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them ag... | |
| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. @newfzx7 i agree, that’s why I was questioning setting up a single sub then adding the second. Do both at the same time as REL, and you, recommend. I did end of moving my REL subs arrangement though into an asymmetrical placement that works bett... | |
| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. Connect it to one channel only. I don’t think there is any reason not the connect both subs following the placement suggestions from REL though and then moving subs if needed. The original placement of the single sub might not be optimal once yo... | |
| Heroku? Nothing. It just means the web site is hosted on a cloud platform. The cloud service provider has various levels of support for running applications. I don’t know anything specifically about Heroku, my experience with cloud platforms is strictl... |
