Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound?
Hello soulgoober, I began my audiophile search just over a year ago, and I’ve found that the thing which lifts sound quality almost more than anything else is the quality of power that is coming into your system from the grid itself, regardless of... 
A deeper more holographic soundstage.
Thanks mahgister : ) - I also forgot to say in my comment that it may be many things that contribute to good depth in the sound, but perhaps not as many as I originally believed. So long as a better than average amplifier and speaker system is bei...

Hi there roxy1927 - i am pretty new as an audiophile, and with all the responses youve already received, perhaps mine wont make much of a difference. But in any case, in the past year and a half that ive been using more of my ears than i ever had ...

@ billzame - hi there, I don’t mean to be contentious regarding your recent point, but I have something that might give you some room for thought - being new to the whole high end audio hifi hobby, I’ve poured over so many articles, reviews and ev...

Snilf - “I have a theory, but it's probably b.s. Violinists all play with vibrato, which constantly, and kind of randomly, varies the tone slightly. With a solo performance, this can be captured unproblematically. But with an entire violin section...

And let’s not forget the lovely voices of Rickie Lee Jones, Joan Armatrading, Sara Bareilles, Joni Mitchell, Annie Lennox, Jennifer Warnes, Patty Griffin, Nina Simone, Paula Cole, Vienna Teng, and Eva Cassidy : )

Game Changing Tweak
Five days ago, I changed the UK three flat pin socket faceplate of my electrical socket to one that would fit the US pin configuration of a new upgraded power cable I am thinking of getting. All I changed was the faceplate with the hardware behind...
