| USB Cable being held hostage…Suggestions? Ok I misunderstood the situation. I thought it was both the seller and the manufacturer that was the problem A little more difficult since you did not buy from the manufacturer | |
| USB Cable being held hostage…Suggestions? If you did not buy directly from the manufacturer, you may have no course against it, but you likely would against the seller. Your jurisdiction likely has some version of small claims court where you could essentially file a suit without the aid ... | |
| Finally up and playing Very nice system. I’m sure it’s a great sound . | |
| Grislybutter anyone? I hope he comes back. Seems like a nice fellow who always had an interesting perspective. | |
| If there is one thing you could change in your current system. What would it be? I just went through a bit of an upgrade cycle with new speakers amp and preamp. Very happy with what I have now, at least until I’m not, we all know how that goes. the one thing I would change is the price | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on The sideways bend this thread took into non resolving snake oil and psycho acoustic whatever illustrates the difference in the culture of the two cites. I enjoy and learn from both. Fewer personal insults or endlessly redundant posts on WBF and m... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? I don't think the market for quality audio equipment will disappear, but I think it will contract. I'm in my late 60s and as a kid the family listened to our stereo (such as it was) for family entertainment. That entailed actually buying physical ... | |
| whatsbestforum - what's going on I've been a member of WBF for a while and its been a very positive experience- so has Audiogon. WBF has a little different vibe. It can get a little salty-audiophiles seem to get very emotional about our hobby-but I have rarely seen the nasty pers... | |
| Seller Silence I wouldn’t deal with a seller who wouldn’t acknowledge what appears to be a perfectly valid inquiry. It seems the sensible thing to do is simply to move on. | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI I use perplexity and asked it to analyze my system. perplexity did a good job of providing a lot of detail about my system, and how it could be expected to perform. It did make a few suggestions, but they seemed pretty generic to me. It almost see... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? I’ve used Roon for a few years and, to my ears, I can’t really detect a significant difference between it and other streaming applications. I don’t use any the roon DSP features. By far, the greater difference in sound quality has to do with the v... | |
| Need advice with matching amp with speakers I think you will find that the Michi will be a good match. The Sonos Faber Is a musical speaker, perhaps at the expense of the last word in well controlled bass and detail. Michi is very transparent, fast, and provides good detail and I suspect yo... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" All of that makes sense, and useful to be mindful of our biases. I love the music and I also enjoy the process of building a system that maximizes whatever investment I'm able and willing to make in equipment. Its interesting to see how people ap... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" This is a very interesting topic that touches on other issues that seem to evoke strong feelings, to say the least. I suspect there is no perfect way to compare two components with the same function. A properly conducted blind test seems to be "th... | |
