| Streamer only Don’t overspend, especially at first. It’s something you have to use, know, understand, and analog logic doesn’t apply. There are a lot of uber expensive options out there that don’t add SQ and just address the nervosa. After you know what you’re... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Can we talk about the music? Not that DEI isn't a serious conversation needing to be had. On Exile, it's like being with them in a basement working on a set. Dirty, a little underproduced, but a great complement to the other albums in The Gre... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? Disciplined audiophile is like saying moderate fanatic. Contradiction in terms! | |
| Help with XLR ICs. Thanks. So does that translate to: if the equipment is truly balanced, then the XLR interconnects do not make a difference, but if the equipment isn't balanced but instead just has XLR but is really single-ended, then the XLR cables matter similar... | |
| How good is to use integrated amp as preamp with the preout feature The preamp in an integrated amp is built to mate with the power amp section, in terms of impedance, etc. The pre-outs are a convenience. The preamp section may still be a match for external amps but it may not be. A listening test is really the ... | |
| Meridian G02 with non Meridian Amps? Thanks! Much appreciated. Good to hear. | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good Pump up the volume! (Seriously, it could be as simple as less gain through the new config.) | |
| Digital newbie First thing, do NOT go out and spend a boatload on gear. Start slowly and get to understand how streaming works and what you want it to do. Consider Roon as there is a good community to help you get up to speed on how to use it. Second, do not... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Yeah, fix your sources. Tidal or Qobuz, recommend over Roon. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. This is a serious question, not intended as a flame: can someone please explain to me, given the topology and function of balanced circuits, how any particular XLR cable composition can make a significant difference in sound, since whatever influ... | |

| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I suggest you need to establish your objectives. Once you get above the kind of gear you can buy near the checkout line at Best Buy (/s), it's not really about general improvement...rather it is about a direction you feel you need to push your sy... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I have both Qobuz and Tidal and listen primarily via Roon. When mobile, I use Tidal alone rather than Qobuz or Roon's ARC. I find the Tidal interface to be easier for mobile. There shouldn't be a difference in SQ unless they are different mast... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I actually enjoyed reading it although I wouldn't call it a review. TAS shouldn't have marked it as a review on the page. More of a moment with newly available gear. Not particularly informative except in a home shopping network kind of way. I... | |
| This One has Me Stumped Similar experience when my source component was overloading my preamp. I suggest you try every source and see if it's consistent or just a single source. I suppose the preamp could also be overloading the EQ or your EQ settings are too high rela... |
