| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? Thinking a bit further, if given multiple opinions, do you give the latest ones (in more recent memory) more weight? Obama was rumored to have this habit. | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? 36-24-36 … good aesthetics… is there an “understood” metric equivalent? | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Feels like dealing with a hurt child. Prideful of knowledge about “x”. Goes on the forum talking about “y” to say their wrong because “x” is THE all encompassing answer, so everyone else on this forum, and by extension all other high-end audio rev... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under I little more money but a ridiculous bargain is this used Volti Vittora. A definite step up from the La Scala. I’d buy them but I don’t have the room. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649998757-volti-vittora/ | |
| Power cable Zavfino OCC Silver Dart Graphene 4 years ago Audiobacon did a PC shootout: https://audiobacon.net/2019/08/17/27-audiophile-power-cables-reviewed/amp/ I purchased a few Kimber Kable PowerKord 10 Palladian PCs based on this shootout. | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint My wife and I like the open concept kitchen to share in the room’s activities. OP- costly but you can move walls - seen it done on TV home improvement shows | |
| RIP Tom Jones It’s not unusual, Delilah, What’s new pussycat? What a strong unique voice. He will (someday) be missed :) | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Like some have suggested, I highly suspect that the warm sound the OP is looking for is only available in lower powered tube amps. This will require an efficient speaker. In addition to my 89db neutral speaker running on a 300wpc neutral ss amp,... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It This seems like a discussion between a surround sound system vs 2 channel. Why, in 2023, would anyone voluntarily use only two speakers to recreate this illusion of a live performance in a large room? It simply sounds better. Usually, the soni... | |
| Ethernet streaming Is this a better way to go than adding a separate streamer to feed the dac? It’s a trade off- cost vs performance Cost savings: keeping multiple functions (streamer, DAC) within a single box saves on additional casework costs and extra cablin... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time You don’t know anything about Ethernet, @fredrik222 I could say something similar to your knowledge of high end audio- the focus of this forum. Your seem lack of knowledge of the value of better power supplies, better clocking, audio noise li... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @fredrik222 I’m a bit amazed at your immature ranting like a stubborn child to proud to admit the possibility they may be mistaken - digging in there heals the more emotionally hurt they are. Ignoring the contrary evidence to avoid other conclus... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @fredrik222 the reports of the OPs approach is reported across other forums. Early in my research, I looked at the OPs approach but I wasn’t too fond of the extra boxes and cables. Many components allow for the use of an upgraded power supply f... | |
| How serious are you? Last few years I was a 9-10 as I digested much info as I can find, demo what I could, to purchase my first high-end analog + digital chains. 8+ today but interest is tapering off - only have Ethernet components, digital cabling, Roon core, then I’... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I figure the best way is to borrow some high end power cords and compare them with an ordinary power cord. @simna yes, Yes , YES!! The best solution is to try yourself in your own system using your own ears. Only you can determine if the soni... |
