| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @mapman Touché, this is the point that enrages the people that already blew their discretionary income and engages those who have cash reserves. Did you ever wonder why you almost NEVER see reviews of room treatments and the only way "audiophil... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Fire it up, its an amp, not a land mine. | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? OK, you may want to watch this review of the Eversolo DMP-A6 where the reviewer compares it to the Lumin and the Bluesound Node. It’s made by a Chinese company called Zidoo, I own one of their media players and they deliver good quality. https://... | |
| I stream 24/7. Do you? I have a whole house audio system and will try this week-end, nice idea. | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? OP, Congrats on your current system. Before you pay for upgrades there are some freebees that are very important. I have an Anthem preamp with ARC, when you run it you get a nice graph (which you can see in my profile). If you could post your ARC... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @calvinj To each his own we all have different paths to get where we sonically wanna be. I have seen some interesting paths here from members, headphone paths, budget paths, luxurious paths, pro paths, and sadly a few people that don’t seem to... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? OP Yes I have an expensive system but I enjoy it. I don't see why anyone needs an "expensive" system to be able to enjoy their system? How is this relevant to enjoyment? Can you buy it? | |

| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? @simao This is the room I was referring too, this guy is a manufacturer so I get the overkill, but I think this was for his personal space: https://youtu.be/nEqFtx7ocHY?feature=shared | |
| Amp Recommendations OP, the customer reviews on the Emotiva monoblocks are really interesting. | |
| Amp Recommendations Since you are starting with 2.2 what do you think about going with monoblocks? Then every time you add another speaker you can simply get another monoblock to go with it? Maybe Van Alstine M225 (around $1700 each). The Emotiva XPA-HC1 class A/B m... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help OP, did you get the right cable? This is the one that goes with that unit: | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help @jeffrey125 Dolby Atmos is a digital standard for both audio and video that works on all platforms and is backward compatible. Why would I want to BUY multiple sources, dacs, and preamps today that will be boat anchors within five years? Buy one... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Or the guy here who recently asked for DAC advice, and was told to buy a 4K TV and an "object based" sound system instead. Why buy a DAC that can only do channel based audio in 2023? It is like buying buggy whips in 1920 when the car was replacin... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? I just saw a dedicated room in HiFi magazine that easily cost over $500K and it seemed delusional, like this person was living like a czar and wasting money because he had no where else to spend it. |
