| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both but listen to Tidal more often. I don’t hear a difference between the two but honestly I haven’t done a critical listening session to compare them. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Second sub was the first thing that popped into my head. Then I read the responses and saw that I was not the only one. I added two subs to my setup and it added something really special to the soundstage and imaging. I don’t know if you can pu... | |
| Overkill for small room I have a smaller room than yours and am running Fritz Rev7 SEs. They have a similar size footprint, woofer, frequency response, as well as being rear ported. I know it’s not the same speaker but I do not think you will overload the room with bas... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Not a fan. I agree with @bigtwin, spin up some Joni Mitchell. But, I do not begrudge her any success she’s had or condescend to any of her fans. I don’t get it but I don’t have to. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Playlist of the first six Steely Dan albums. | |
| Stolen property Sorry, I couldn’t resist being snarky. I don’t know how you could know but if you’re thinking there’s something not quite right then don’t make the purchase. @bigshutterbug mentioned some possible red flags. | |
| Stolen property Check to see if they are still in your house? | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas you keep saying the same thing over and over without explaining what you mean. There is also no 1.1ohm impedance in the curve for the Sabrina that I have seen. Sorry, I'm hijacking this thread and I don't want to do that. I underst... | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas I’m not entirely sure of what you are saying. You mentioned low impedance as a limiting factor that the Mac can’t handle then switched to the autoformers can’t recreate the frequency without some sort of coloration. I have an admitted... | |
| JL Audio Fathom @rauliruegas where does the Sabrina go as low as 1.1 ohms? I’ve seen 2+ but not anything as low as you state. I think the MA8950 would drive them well just as @upstateaudiophile says as it will drive 2,4,8 ohm loads with 200W regardless of which t... | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey When I read this post and saw the Sopra 1 mentioned I thought of recommending the Fritz speakers. So a third recommendation for them. I recently listened to the Sopra 1 and it has nothing on the Fritz Rev 7 SEs I have. The Sopra is certainly a ... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Replace the cone or the entire driver. | |
| Monitor Audio G4 Gold 100 or Proac Studio125? I agree with @mofojo keep the ones you like. I’ve not heard either, but if it were me, I would spend plenty of time listening to both playing all the various music I like, particularly the genre I listen to most often, and see which one suited my... | |
| Audioholics Hadn’t heard of Audioholics so I watched a couple of videos. Guy seems to be very knowledgeable and certainly has a solid background in engineering. He makes some sense as well talking about cables and interconnects. However, I recently dropped... | |
| Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac? Do you know what bit rate the song you were playing is? 44.1kHz/16bit is CD quality but 44.1kHz/24bit is considered hi-res and would only show as 44.1 on your DAC. Both of your components can be correct in this instance. |
