| Old CDs and records Streaming is a wonderful way to explore music but I don't think vinyl is anywhere near worthless. And while CDs might be someday, they're not worthless yet. It's an interesting question as to whether CDs will have a similar resurgence as vinyl.... | |
| Check this out, if you already haven't. I bet the audio in their bathroom is stellar! | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Coals to Newcastle. Further tilting TAS towards analog expertise when they don't get digital. | |
| The review wehave been promising is up TAS understands digital about as much as Neanderthals understand nuclear fusion. I’ll never get over their 4-part article where they said that music on a hard drive degrades when copied to a second drive. "the best sounding music server..." [In ... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media entitled to your opinion and beliefs like anyone else. I Fair enough. So are you! My post wasn't intended as a request for you to retract your statement anyway...but I thought it called for a response, which I too stand behind! Enjoy your gea... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media In the name of adding balance and credibility to your beliefs, would you please care to tell us your streaming setup and what have you tried so far? BTW, here is the my original post. Sure, although any attempt at thoroughness would seriously h... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media "mythology" is smug and pejorative in my opinion. It wasn't intended to be smug but apologies for any insult. In reference to this quote, I don't feel too bad about calling it out. It's an extreme statement: Every streamer or server out th... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media "Mythology" ? There are always differing opinions and experiences especially with regard to High End audio. It appears to me reading comments from very credible and experienced members on this forum and say WBF that these additional parts/access... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media No server or streamer is ‘completely’ immune to noise being transmitted through your mass produced routers. A server like Taiko at $30K may do a better job than others at rejecting incoming noise but nonetheless still susceptible to incoming nois... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Just for some balance, there are quite a few audio enthusiasts whom understand IP networking who believe that audiophile routers and switches and signal reclocking dongles have no positive effect. there may be something to upgrade at the streame... | |
| Looking for a change. I have no brand recommendations. However, don't use your Yamaha as a pre-only, at least not for very long. Integrated units are made to match the pre- and the power- stages...the pre-outs are just for convenience, or subwoofers, or whatever. I... | |
| Why? (Does the signal degrade in this circumstance...) Thanks for the responses. the unit is not designed to use more than one of its outputs at the same time into live equipment drawing signal from the dac What's weird is that it's the opposite. The signal is STRONGER when both preamps are switch... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? Basically my gear IS the decor. It could be empty without it! | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Interesting the emphasis on digital recordings here. I would posit that "realistic" primarily must refer to acoustic instruments or vocals since anything that is heard live as amplified (e.g. electric guitar) is already beyond the sound produced ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended I'd not considered this point before, but given that the signal is duplicated then reversed then transported then recombined, doesn't that mean that any coloration or other effect by the interconnect is simply negated? So, you don't really need f... |
