| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @hifidream First place in this thread! Wow, what a great job both on your system, the room, the equipment, the photos. I have never seen the type of blueprint drawings before in a thread, excellent. I also appreciated the before and after graph ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment Will the insane customers paying inflated prices for audio equipment continue to pay? It isn't the vendors fault. | |

| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer You gut reaction will be this is too cheap to be any good, it is GREAT, The Martin Logan Unison. It does Quoboz, DLNA, DTS Play-Fi AND it has ARC room correction (which is why I use it and recommend it). I don't use the preamp feature. I use the t... | |
| Does a DDC make SQ of all basic streamer roughly equal? I wouldn't recommend a DDC unless you have your room dialed in meticulously, it is much more cost effective to use room treatments and DSP before getting a DDC. | |
| Best audio and visual for concert films Don't buy a center channel. use your current two channel system, it will sound fine. Just run the RCA out from the zidoo to the RCA input of your mcintosh preamp. If you order the zidoo post a pic of your setup and we can provide better advice. | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! Imagine someone wants to buy new gear and they posted this graph, how much better advice could you provide if you saw this first: | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! My streamer is a Paradigm Link which was only $199 on sale and has all the streaming features I need AND an RCA in port so I can also connect a TT or a CDP to it if I wanted. The reason it is so good is because it has ARC room correction. I use th... | |
| Best audio and visual for concert films True dat, but the OP has a vintage McIntosh 2 CH setup, no 5.1. The Zidoo has HDMI out to his TV and RCA 2 CH out to his preamp. The Panny BRD player lacks the apps he would need to stream. Most other BRD players lack RCA outs. | |
| Best audio and visual for concert films Let’s ask it another way, where can you great concerts other than blueray. You can stream a lot of great content. The Zidoo has an android OS and you can get geat apps for concert streaming. They won’t have the dynamics of a blueray but thre are t... | |
| Best audio and visual for concert films Yes, to a NAS, if you want to create a library and a "concert vault" consider getting a Zidoo player that will have storage as well as play everything. This looks like a good choice: https://summithifiusa.com/products/zidoo-uhd5000 | |
| Best audio and visual for concert films The best source IMO are blueray discs. You will need to get a blueray player with RCA outs to connect to your preamp OR get a preamp with an HDMI connection. I have been ripping a ton of concerts lately, sound fantastic. | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts I have been binge buying discs that are used on amazon, local shops, etc. for about the same cost as a rental. Then I rip them and watch on my zidoo player which upconverts to dolby vision. Works for me. | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! @terry9 "Every professional installer Every competent professional installer You are of course correct about bad installers, and I see the bad ones on youtube, ouch! This video is about proper calibration: https://youtu.be/CN0HGuE7s7Q | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! @macg19 WTF...I thought this hobby/indulgence was supposed to be fun and relaxing There is casual listening and critical listening, they both can be fun. |
