| Streaming Services - do they do everything? +3 jond. Tidal HiFi is a no brainer for $20 a month especially if you have an MQA enabled device for playback. As for saving the content offline, I personally never investigated that option but given that you can access the content almost anytime ... | |
| Which integrated amp? You're right in that sometimes when you keep all other things the same, changing one piece may not provide as much sonic improvement per dollar spent. I have not heard the Peachtree but I have heard the LS50 switched between a lower end NAD and a ... | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light dill, are you saying you need to be 28 feet away in order to “fully” hear a 40Hz tone? I get the math but trying to understand how’s then we could hear the “whole” music when hearing all the frequencies from the same fixed listening position. Need... | |
| Which integrated amp? I don’t think the Peachtree in in the same league with most if not all of the gears on your list. I can say with certainty that Boulder 810 is a line stage preamplifier not an integrated and I have heard it extensively paired with one of the large... | |
| Use pink noise disc to warm up stereo I I thought we had already discussed the warm-up vs. no warm-up topic ad nuseam. Technically speaking, if I understand it correctly, the main and possibly only difference between pink noise and “regular” music is all frequencies are at or near ide... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I read somewhere that a group of cancer patients were mysteriously cured and the doctors were baffled until they realized someone with the nickname of bo1972 was secretly injecting them with the Tru-Fi serum.....Incredible load of cow crap.... | |
| Amp upgrade advice So are you looking to sell the two amps and get one amp? With a <$1K budget for a new amp, either Schiit Vidar or NuForce STA-200 would be good choices. | |
| Advice for a Tube Amp, TT setup only Are you looking for an integrated amp or just a power amp? If the latter, what preamp do you have? | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC: Anyone use as line stage preamp? If you already have a good phono stage, you may want to consider the Benchmark DAC3 L. It’s getting great reviews and should meet your needs more closely. And it costs about the same as Mytek. | |
| Equalizers- love them or hate them and why? ^^^^^^ exactly... There are better things out there to love or hate. | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are 1) Vandersteen 2Ci in a semi-treated living room mostly for solo mid-high SPL listening, all kinds of music.2) Martin Logan Aerius i in the large family room, set well far apart and guests love the room filling crisp sound. 3) DIY back-loaded hor... | |
| Integrated amp match for Zu Soul Superfly Find a couple of nice black boxes that you can fit your amp and preamp in them. Have one or two cut outs in the back for installing low noise electronic fans and you're done. You could print Pass Labs or a similar popular brand name on the front t... | |
| Looking for some recommendations about preamp options I have friend with a Torii and he (reluctantly) stretched his budget and settled on a Coincident Statement Line Stage, mostly for its high voltage gain, according to him. He was also very anal about getting something that matched the sound of his ... | |
| DAC for 2016 MacBook Pro There's no such a thing as a Redbook only DAC. Some DACs may sound better with PCM signal vs. DSD, etc., but all support digital signals. Maybe I missed the memo. | |
| Best Footers for DAC? "Are there any scientific reason behind the need for this?" I have the same question. I get the RFI, EMI, etc., isolation but vibration control, especially for components with no built in large transformers makes little sense to me. |
