| Adding tube sound to my SS system I suggest the OP could use a few more direct thoughts on what he experienced, which was that a switch in preamps provided engaging midrange but a lack of bass and soundstage...perhaps that means HF detail to pinpoint stereo image? Keep in mind th... | |
| Why can I feel vibration when I touch my network switch or streamer? Unless you keep your network gear under your pillow and it keeps you from sleeping, I'm not sure why having a network switch vibrate is of concern. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used I agree. People just want to spend and upgrade. Those B&Ws are fantastic speakers and it's likely you have placement and toe-in work to do, maybe room treatment. The speakers are winners. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. all good not here to argue, so please stop arguing Apology accepted We all love music and gear...I prefer the fun side of the discussions a lot more! | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Not interested in fighting with you, and you made my point. Which was what exactly? That those skeptical of marketing claims around cables should stick to all in one units? That is not a point, it was simply an attempt at an insult or to sta... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Clearly it's under your skin or you wouldn't have chosen to start an entire thread that is basically trolling. What you just did was try to start a fight with literally no functional need for your posts. I think I saw you on the highway tailgati... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Your cables can’t sound that great if you got bored enough to post that. Besides, most skeptics of cables have a more nuanced view than your post implies. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! I tend to think of detail presentation as being more in the domain of the preamp. But yes I'm sure the amp also has a lot to say about it. The two amps that I recall having the most detail were a Levinson ML-23 and a Counterpoint hybrid amp (can... | |
| Are all streamers the same? Getting to an adjacent topic, but yes, there is little logic in thinking that, as long as the server device has sufficient processing power, that the packet stream across the network to the rendering device could be any different. That's the beau... | |
| Suggestions on improvement PS: Can't really tell from the back panel, but it's possible that an equalizer can't be looped from any source. If that is the case, it would have to be connected to the pre-out but of course that's an issue if you want to use the amp stage. | |
| Suggestions on improvement The idea of equalization may be good, but I don't understand how an analog equalizer works with the OP's integrated amp. Only the analog sources can be looped through the equalizer and so anything digital would be irrelevant unless the OP has an ... | |
| Leave it Open or Close it Off: A Listening/ Living Room Dilemma I guess it depends on where the door goes, but I should think there are practical reasons outside of sound quality to have the option of a door. If my listening room didn't have a door, my family would have hung me by now. My listening room is... | |
| Are all streamers the same? Some have nicer displays. On a more serious note, I think the conversation has to be split between servers and such and the device that is actually connected to the DAC (or has the DAC in it). For example, Roon recommends one box acting as the ... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? Just for the record, CDs are not a different standard in Europe. DVDs and Blu-rays do have different zones and will only play with equipment for that zone, albeit there are hacks for many players. CDs have no such "protection." My suggestion: g... | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers Isn't this thread about evaluating speakers? I assume that means at the showroom since you can listen to all of your own music at home. I bring my favorite music that doesn't play well on my current speakers in order to evaluate a potential purc... |
