| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? Where is the link to page 38? Click the word "here." This is likely to start the same old tweaker vs. logic/science debate! | |
| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? If there was noise that a PC could lower, couldn't that be detected just by listening without any source material playing? Not saying that is the only reason for these various boxes. The convenience of timed on/off between amp preamp and source... | |
| Can a DAC do triple duty? What a dac typically won't do is output both rca and xlr simultaneously. Interesting. I’ve never seen one that didn’t output simultaneously. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? Ahem...changing the toe-in (or lack thereof) of your speakers can greatly impact treble. Give it a try before lightening the wallet with multi-colored unidirectional fuses. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response No one mentions acoustic room treatments? Slushy or boomy bass is often the result of a need for some level of room treatment. That's also likely a lot cheaper than replacing any high end speaker. Also, strongly disagree with audiotroy regard... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Try Roon and see how that sounds. Agreed. Roon is very good for tweaking sound because of its DSP capabilities. However you have to have a fairly powerful server for some of the DSP, depending on what you want to do. Roon is also great be... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality They don’t have a sound. I did add more to my statement in a later post that explained that what I was referring to was that it is pointless to try to match to specific analog gear in the sense of "my system is cold, I need more warmth" like one m... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Why the name calling and assumptions? I've used hundreds of network cables, dozens of switches and routers. What I said about streamers was that they weren't something to "match" with analog components as tone controls - i.e. to add warmth to ... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables Balanced digital? | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality You could try a different DAC. Many people who actually understand networking are very skeptical of network tweaks. Switches and network cables don’t have a sound, except silence when not working. | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp What is it with the orthodoxy guard dogs in these threads? Part of the problem, other than rudeness, is that a baseline set of definitions is never established before the debate even starts. I was speaking specifically of lightweight streamers wh... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp I’d rather sit with Alvin then Amir for sure! | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp poor advice, and the words of someone with little/no experience comparing streamers and/or has a system or ears incapable of revealing the differences. Or maybe someone who has spent a lot of time with streaming tech, has a good system with lot... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp Streamers don’t have a sound and I agree software would be the focus. I would include Roon ready as a requirement because you may want that option at some point. REL subs are fast enough to keep with Maggies. If you use DWM bass panels keep the... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. Most people don't know that members of his backing band for his first album (band name Clover) became "the News" for Huey Lewis. Or, at least some people don't know that... |
