Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle??
Pcv123v, Hyperions 938 deliver excellent imaging in my room. My room is roughy 16'x 24'with speakers on long wall. Perhaps you need to defeat reflections in you room. Try placing something fuzzy on side walls. Use mirror on the wall to pinpoint ex... 
THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE
Many people still think that power supply has to be linear and heavy to deliver great performance. In reality many designers use large heavy transformers because of this belief - that creates better sales (If it is heavy it has to be good). Look a... 
Acou Zen vs Anaysis Plus vs Cardas Clear Sp. Cable
I replaced inexpensive AQ Indigo with AZ Satori (Shotgun) with great results. Satori keeps bass very tight but adds a little to lower midrange that sounded thin with Indigo and class D amp.It added "body" to instruments and "chestiness" to male vo... 
Whole Home Streaming
It looks like you set your mind on wireless. I had problem using 2.4GHz WiFi since it has only 3 non-overlapping channels. My microwave was interfering with one and neighbors with two others. There are few possible choices:- brute force, use power... 
How to improve power supply?
Ptss, how do you know it is inadequate? Most likely it is linear power supply followed by voltage regulators. AFAIK nothing changed in design or available regulators since mid 90s. There are few areas that might bring improvement. It might be poss... 
My PC Audio Question Journey
That's what I concluded and ripped everything into ALAC. Batch converting to other format is also possible if necessary. 
My PC Audio Question Journey
Mceljo, Whatever lossless format you choose it will be converted to Apple compressed lossless (ALAC) anyway, before sending to AE. As long as it is bit perfect it is data - no timing difference (that could affect sound). 
My PC Audio Question Journey
Mcelio, Stereophile measured 258ps jitter on Toslink output. Jitter artifacts on analog output corresponded to about 2400ps jitter. Little jittery is very loose term. To me 258ps is still OK (requires some suppression) while 2400ps is pretty bad. ... 
Hifi V.s. The music makers
They are also looking for absolute "truth" to what they are hearing . no colorations. I ask why we are so determined to alter their work ?No, they don't. They're trying to predict how it will sound at home. Stereo image is constructed from multi-m... 
Best CD transport?
Dfwlistener, I feel your pain - ripping takes a lot of time but you can try to rip only CD that you want to listen to. It will take less couple of minutes to be able to start simultaneous playback while CD is being ripped. That's how I transferred... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
Mceljo, there are only 3 non-overlaping channels in 2.4GHz WiFi. My microwave operates on one of the channels interrupting my music while neighbors operate on two other channels with routers most likely set to max power. I switched to 5GHz. It giv... 
Headphones and Hearing Loss
Sennheisers are wonderful. I had HD580 (same drivers as HD600). Very comfy with great highs and midrange (last thing you need are bass heavy headphones) but high impedance (300ohm) made it difficult to drive to very high levels. It was also open b... 
Headphones and Hearing Loss
+1, That's what my almost deaf grandmother used to watch TV - large over ear headphones. They were low impedance providing insanely high sound levels, but it didn't bother us since it was closed back. I don't know Momentum, but many Sennheisers ar... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Czarivey, If it is not what I think you had in mind, then real audiophile doesn't have much else to show spending all the money on this money sucking hobby. 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Interest in high end audio is irrelevant. Women are impressed by men with any interest other than beer and sex.
