| Digital power cord for tube amp? In layman's terms, there is no such thing as digital power cord, heavy duty or otherwise. Power cords convey AC (60Hz sine-wave and analog). | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? I also stand by my other comment that many recordings are brighter than they ought to be. Treble energy dissipates in the concert hall. However, the way orchestras are recorded - with a mic at most stands - does not recreate the balance heard mid... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? Thanks to @kr4 - for recommending some that are better. I don't necessarily regard them as "better." I just recommended them in the hope that they might seem "better" for you. | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? I can understand that to some degree. You might try one of these: Stenz/Koln on Oehms Vanska/Minnesota on BIS Fischer/BFO on Channel | |
| Is digital optical audio worth it? For a simple sound-bar, it does not really matter. | |
| Dirac - worth activating? Definitely! | |
| Anyone still remember the brand: AURAL ACOUSTIC? Aural Acoustics was a loudspeaker company that I founded many decades back. What product are you referring to? | |

| HDCD JRiver will handle both. Just rip the discs to files.................. | |
| Ethernet or USB for streaming to Oppo 205 USB will not do multichannel. Ethernet and HDMI will. | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? Revels are nice but can be a bit boring. They do nothing wrong, and most things right. But they lack any kind of character. Wonderful. Exactly what I prefer. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's I almost went with Salon2 until I heard 802D3. And, after all these years, I swapped out the 802D3 for a pair of Revel Studio2s. (The Salons are too tall for my room.view.) asin this thread is 10 years old. FWIW. | |
