| Favorite Obscure Rock Song I have many but one I was just listening to is Theme From Boat Weirdos by Joe Walsh. | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain Fool in the Rain is a great song. I’ve always loved the drumming in it. Didn’t know till not too long ago about the shuffle beat that’s in it. Learned about it in Rosanna and Everybody Wants to Rule the World at the same time from a guy who pla... | |
| DAC compatibility I thought USB was a standard so it doesn’t make sense to me that either of your devices wouldn’t like the USB out/in from the other. This link discusses drop outs from MQA but via Roon to an external DAC. Nothing else about dropouts other than R... | |
| Finally got a Luxman Congratulations! That’s a great integrated amp! There are so many amps I’d like to try and Luxman is one of them. By the way, I don’t think there’s such a thing as a poor man’s integrated wrt what you purchased 😀 | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? I'll bite...I do not have these, I have a McIntosh integrated though that I love. I'm sure these sound amazing with the right components. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 Thanks! It’s labor of love, I suppose, like everyone else on here. Slowly learning about things, what I like and trying different components. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 I did get your point and I appreciate you making the distinction. In my haste to add something to the conversation I forgot that the HiFi Rose is an all in one unit and, to your point, all I did was confirm that I like one component sta... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @musiclover1 Im using an Audioquest cinnamon I think. @audphile1 you make a really good point. It’s still a valid comparison, in the sense that one combination sounds better than another, but not in the context of this discussion. Easy with the... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I’ve had a similar experience, although not with components that are as expensive. My current setup of a MacBook Pro streaming via Tidal or Qobuz native apps into a Denafrips Hermes and Pontus II sounds better than the HiFi Rose 250a they replace... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? I have two REL T/5x subs I just purchased. I also have a small listening space (12x9 or something close to that). They were easy to integrate and they make everything sound so much better. Soundstage, imaging, musicality, all better, not to mentio... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @m-db it surprised me to be honest. I figured it would measure better than the specs, just cause my room tends toward bass heavy, but not as low as it did. Tbh, I don’t know how accurate the measurements are but they seem to be consistent. | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? I don't know how small your space is, but mine is small (12x10) and I just put in two REL T/5x subs. They were easy to integrate with the Neutrik Speakon connectors. They move enough air to shake the floor and my listening chair when I turn it u... | |
| Why Music Is Good For The Brain Interesting article. Music makes me feel happy, sad and everything in between! Nothing better than listening to a song I’ve heard many times and hearing some new nuance that I had never noticed before. | |
| Subwoofer Run the left line of the y cable to the left sub, the right line to the right sub. | |
| Subwoofer If it’s the true subwoofer junior you also have speaker level inputs and can connect directly to those using the left speaker level input on both subs. So right speaker output from source to left speaker input on right sub and left speaker output... |
