| MQA Declares Bankruptcy Does this mean when streaming Tidal you are no longer listening to hi-res? If not, what resolution are we listening to. | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? How can anyone watch a movie through TV speakers. 80% of a movie experience is surround sound. I would recommend buying an ARCAM surround receiver. If you can afford their G amplifier technology I would do that. First 50 watts is pure Clas... | |
| MQA Declares Bankruptcy I purchased a digital cable and connected my BlueSound Node2i to my ARCAM. They told me the DAC inside my ARCAM was better than the BlueSound and not to worry about MQA. I think MQA sounded better. Maybe I will try QIbuz. I demoed QUobuz and I... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? Denver for some reason doesn’t have many audio stores. The nicest one has snobby sales people. They make me feel uncomfortable. I have never purchased anything there as a result. I subscribe to Redfin in order to see what homes are sellin... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Great post. I have had RedFin send me listings for the past 4 years and I have yet to see a pair of speakers in any room. What amazes me is how much money people in the group spend and how so many are never satisfied. When is enough, enough... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? The only Sub to buy is REL. Their high level connection allows them to play like woofers. They need to be set up correctly to achieve this. I purchased 2 REL SHO subwoofers and they were a game changer. | |

| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? I purchased two power cords and didn’t hear a difference. I can hear a difference in speaker wires. Not sure what power conditioners do. Might be worth a try. | |

| "High end" store snobbery I think you have to be a snob to work for a certain shop in Denver. | |
| Where do you stop? When I upgraded my speaker wires they have more silver. Suddenly my tweeters woke up. I like to hear crisp symbols. Things just come alive. I would like to try cables with more silver to compare. I think you have to be careful with ear fatigue... | |
| What to listen for? I use the song Nasty by Vincent Ingala and the song Little Person by Michael Wollny to demo my system. | |
| Streaming Services I have a BlueSound Node 2i and use Tidal. After I purchased my new speaker wires from The Cable Company, the sales person told me I should connect my BlueSound to my ARCAM using digital cable. He said the DAC inside my ARCAM was better than than... | |
| Streamers? I have a Node 2i Bluesound streamer. Do more expensive streamers really sound better? If, why? Has this been blind tested? | |
| The Impossible Has Happened I don't know how anyone can afford to spend this kind of money or get things approved by their wife. I also receive a number of real estate listing from Red Fin every day to find out what homes are selling for in my area. I have yet to see a sin... |
