| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage Mine are actively biamped with a Marchand crossover and a Classe CA-200 (treble, mid) and a Nakamichi PA7. Active biamping is really the way to use budget amps; Maggies are very easy because of the external crossovers. Look for an amp that doubl... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers It’s a fair point and I am not here to tell anyone what to do in their houses. Not everyone on either side is the same though. Sometimes newbies ask basic questions and the first answer is buy an audiophile switch or Ethernet regenerator, when t... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I can’t argue with the theory of the electrical noise but wouldn’t, logically, a well designed streamer endpoint or DAC be able to defeat/reject that without the tweaks? Mostly, it seems to me, there is a lot of analog style logic applied to digi... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I’d say that applies to both sides here. Maybe not everyone on either side. But both sides have their shouters. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Sad that people cannot converse civilly. I tried to bridge the gap here: | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers With all due respect for my fellow music lovers, and not wanting to start (or perpetuate) a fight, I do feel that a balanced discussion is better than an echo chamber. In that vein, I am quite confident that most of what is discussed here is a com... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare Agree with the above. Progressively switching cables from channel to channel is the way to troubleshoot a problem like this. | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... Snowflakes view "If you don't agree with me, you are intolerant! You should be censored, deleted, banned, fed to the hogs'" Conservative view " Eh, no skin off my ass. Next. " There are plenty of conservatives that are just as testy about what... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole They would probably tear at each other’s clothes, like Lucy & Ethel I can’t leave this unaddressed. If this refers to the famous wine-making scene, the other woman wasn’t Ethel, it was an Italian woman. That said, I'd watch it. | |
| What is the most important cable in your system XLR cables really shouldn't have a sound. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup People are free to add whatever they want to their network and enjoy the bling. Just to balance the conversation, however, there are many in the audio world that do not believe tweaking networks as described in this thread have any benefit whatso... | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment I'm way too impatient. Anything that arrives is immediately rushed upstairs and implemented. I have a kind of 2 stage system where anything is easy to hook up and listen to; then later I'll find its permanent spot and rethink wiring for optimal.... | |
| Anybody help me unload all of this on Audiogon…. I've bought from TMR and found their prices to be reasonable and that they're reasonably responsive. That sounds like a better plan than trying to coordinate individual sales. You might just call SF area store owners to see if they are interested... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? @larsman - this was the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. There are many venues in Chicago that will go late. Or well at least they used to when I was a regular at shows. I did get to see Killing Joke in 1989 and so I'm not upset I missed them, but man, ... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon is wonderful, WHEN IT WORKS. I am on my 6th year of using Roon and I've built my system around it so I am definitely a heavy user and a pretty big fan of the software. However, while this happens with all software I'm sure, there is a prett... |
