| 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... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Merry Clayton in Gimme Shelter around the 2:40 mark is another great one. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @erik_squires The Fritz Rev 7 SE has a split paper woofer and the ring radiator tweeter. I have a pair in a small space and they are so good. | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Several by David Lee Roth in Runnin’ With the Devil. Very close second is DLR in second verse of Outta Love. Maynard at the end of Eulogy. Sorry I know you asked for one but there are so many. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out Big fan of Fritz. Outstanding speakers and not just for the money. They really do everything well with all genres of music. I’ve listened to several other name brands that cost two/three times as much with the idea of upgrading but cannot find ... |
