| Tidal vs. Spotify Based on this thread and my increasing frustration with the poor sound quality of Spotify through my Sonos I just signed up for Tidal and downloaded it and set it up on my Sonos. From the first few notes I heard, to borrow a phrase from the kids, ... | |
| Audiophile Fakery Tom32 I didn't mean to imply that frequency contouring was easy to do, just in the context of this thread vs add on doodads and such. Meaning it's a relatively commonplace alteration. I'm sure like all aspects of speaker design it's quite complex. | |
| Balance control. Discuss. It's also incredibly useful for quick channel balance checks. | |
| Spendor A9- best connection on BAT VK 55? Fishers9 try them both and see which you think sounds better. | |
| Audiophile Fakery How about the very simple, and I guess generally accepted, frequency contouring of speakers? An upper midrange bump for more "detail" same thing in the upper bass for more "bass", etc. | |
| New system build It sounds like a lovely and well thought out system. Cary and Spendor work very well together and should give you a nice organic, warm, transparent sound. I don't think you need a sub but that's a question of taste obviously. Have fun putting it t... | |
| New Variac I have a variac! Now I have contributed as much, or more, than the OP! | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Not sure of this one has been said or not but a fave:"One good think about music, when it hits you feel no pain."- Bob Marley- Trenchtown Rock | |

If contact cleaner doesn't work a new switch could be installed and many repair places can do that for you including Conrad-Johnson. Where are you located? Th... | |
| Most enduring audio purchase Both my Deja Vu power amp and my JMlbabs Micro-Utopia speakers have been with me since 2006 and I plan to keep both for a very long time. | |
| Rogue Audio In addition to Rogue the OP should be commended on his attitude and reasonableness during this process. So many buyers knee jerk reaction to a problem is to blame the seller or manufacturer. You did neither and as a result have a nice amp and a so... | |
| My wife passed yesterday My most sincere condolences on your loss. I hope eventually music brings you peace and fond memories. | |
| Logitech Squeezebox v7.9 works with Mac Yosemite I went from a Squeezebox Duet to a Sonos system and have been very happy. Less buggy than the Duet was, in fact pretty trouble free overall really. Sound quality is excellent I just have it in one room outputting to a Yamamoto Dac with fabulous re... | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? I sold a pair of Alon Lotus speakers I really enjoyed when I moved to a much smaller 800 sq ft living space. Traded them actually for the speakers I still use today a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias, which I love and are by far the favorite ... | |
| Your favorite album cover... Pink Floyd- Meddle Bob Marley- Catch A Fire |
