| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? Interesting responses, and I agree, they are both capable of providing an engaging and immersive experience. Fortunately it isn’t necessary to eliminate either one of them. But they ARE different, stereo is channel based and atmos is object based.... | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @w123ale , I like this "big picture" on dacs by Thomas, he talks about "good enough" vs chasing incremental improvements. Check out the "high end" of the old days vs. "affordable" today:.: | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @chayro , I have an elaborate 9.2.7 immersive home theater AND a simplified two channel desktop system. The two channel system is simply a pair of Paradigm Shift A2 active speakers and a Paradigm PW Link streamer/preamp with ARC room correction. F... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? An announcement from Universal Music: “This is a completely new way to create and experience music, freeing artists to be more expressive and experimental with their recordings,” said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice Presid... | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @chayro , it seems the digital technology is evolving into more than two channels instead of simply "better" two channels. If you have space for more speakers you might really enjoy immersive audio. “This is a completely new way to create and exp... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? If you decide change make sure you listen to a digital system you really like before you go that route. Whatever you decide to do I find that room correction software like ARC from Anthem/Paradigm, Audyssey or Dirac is a must have, not a nice to h... | |

| Downloads Versus Streaming @goofyfoot re: what I did to make improvements was to put all my network and streaming components in line with an ADD-POWR power conditioner, I recommend checking out there website. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @goofyfoot I do have a disc spinner (Sony UHPH1 Universal player) that is very good to my ear. I think it may just nostalgia on my part or it could be the ripping process I use is less than perfect | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? I would ask is there such a thing as a "forever" satisfied audiophile. I was watching a video on youtube about dacs by Thomas and he used the phrase "good enough". Although some dacs might provide more air, more bass, more this or that he describe... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming If I had the same song on a CD, a download and streaming I would likely prefer them in that order. If I had my eyes closed I would have to be very attentive to pick which is which. | |
| Diffuser panel design - overrated? Anthony Grimani states you have two types of diffusors, 2D and 3D. He stated to use the 2D diffusors in the front half of the room and 3D diffusors in the back half. The 2D diffusors have to be deep enough to impact certain frequencies so a book c... | |
