| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? Right now, I don't know why anyone would get off their chair to load a CD in the player? Especially when Tidal streams hi-res up to 24/196. I find it very convenient to sit down and select artists and albums with the touch of a finger. When I p... | |
| Sota or Technics I would recommend upgrading your speakers to SALK Song3 Encore towers. However, they are $6,000 and well worth the cost difference. I met Jim Salk at the RMAF two years and I thought these sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the ... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming There must be something about vinyl and I missed it. I had a Technique turntable back in the 70's and purchased a $300 cartridge. When I started buying $30 master recorded vinyl, I could really hear the difference. However, getting off the sofa... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I can't understand why audiophiles spend so much money on a turn table, cartridge and vinyl? I hear often a lot of noise with the needle is tracking on a record. Andy, you have to get up, wash the record you want to listen to and spend all that ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I can't agree more with you. I purchased a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers and I still don't know if I have them set up right. They should have a DVD or online video walking you through the steps. Great subwoofers though. | |
| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i, the dealer convinced me to add a ProJect S2 DAC. I connected the BlueSound and thought the sound was great. For some reason I think I can hear a difference when listening to MQA. I then plugged in the ProJ... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I almost purchase a pair of Martin Login Motion 60's. Fortunately, I went back to the retailer and listened to them for two hours. Glad I did because I found their ribbon tweeters to be to bright. Ear fatigue is a reality and it is really impor... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I am sure the cheap ProJect S2 DAC I added to my Bluesound Node 2i might have been the problem. I have heard the Cuttest is much better. What would I hear with a more expensive DAC that would sound better than the Bluesound played by itself? I ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I would imagine there must be a phase adjustment on my REL's. However, I would not know where to start. It would be nice if someone could teach us more about phase and how to set up subwoofers. Now I wonder if I have mine set up correctly. All... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I am simply blown away by Millercarbon's knowledge. He should be teaching at a university. Fascinating conversation. Can't believe people have more than two subwoofers. I did a lot of research before I purchased my subwoofers. I was torn betw... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I meant to add customer support from ARCAM is absolutely horrible. The customer service person after a couple of questions told me to not contact him again. He was the rudest person I have ever talked to. Wonder if anyone else experienced the s... | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps I purchase an ARCAM AVR550 only because I wanted to use it for both Home Theater and 2 channel listening. Their AVR850 model sounds extremely good because they have a new G technology that is able to play the first 50 watts in Pure A. Wonder wha... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I forgot to mention. I did a blind test at the dealer with and without the DAC and I picked the Bluesound every time without the DAC. I should have gone with what I heard and not purchased the DAC. Maybe it was the cheap DAC I purchased. Anoth... | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I purchase a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a Project S2 DAC. When I got it home, I thought it sounded much better when playing the Bluesound alone. I don't care what people say, but I think MQA sounds great and if you ad... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Pretty rude answers. This guy was just asking an innocent question and the first guy to respond immediately tried to make him feel stupid. I thought this was a great question. Not everyone is a knowledgeable as the first person to respond. Per... |
