| To Roon or not I really like the interface of Tidal. The library works well with my BlueSound Node 2i. I also think I hear a better sound stage when playing MQA. Not sure I understand MQA. I think the resolution may go up, but not sure. When I added a ProJe... | |
| New speakers. New room. For years we used our living room as a museum. We went in there for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Finally, a friend of mine came over and suggested we turn it into a listening room. So we did and now we use the living room as much or more than th... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? Wonder if you could take it to a dealer and they could replace the driver or perhaps offer a solution. Hope this problem does not happen to me. This may be a difficult thing to repair during the Trump virus. | |
| I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming I search for my own preferences and use Tidal. They have great Masters recordings and MQA. Once in a while it is fun to just click on an album to hear something new. You might surprise yourself and listen to a different style of music you have ... | |
| Floor standing or Large bookshelf recommendations - 2.0 channel setup Without a question the SALK Sone3 Encores. Heard them at the RMAF and they beat out speakers costing 6 times more. The Focal 936's are horrible and the BMW's lack a lot of bass. If you talk to Jim Salk tell him Larry Edwards sent you from Denve... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? Why not fill in the low end with a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers. You can dial them so they don't over power the bass and with their high level connection they will act more like woofers. Be curious to hear what this group thinks about this. Th... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Thanks aj523. I have an ARCAM AVR550 for my home theater and use this also for music. I have not installed the two rear surround system speakers so all of my sound is coming from the front speakers. Actually, the sound is really good I have a ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I have always wondered why people go with tube amplifiers rather than going with more up to date technologies. There must be a reason why. I wonder what the sound difference is? I would think a good DAC would work just fine. However, I am new ... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? I think the Vienna Acoustics with their soft dome tweeter would sound less harsh. I noticed they had a lot of bass and sounded best when listening to classical. I did think they sounded great and I think you would get less fatigued listening to ... | |
| I DON'T GET IT!!!!!! The real question is do you like the sound better after adding the external DAC? In my case, I preferred the Node 2i played by itself without the DAC. The DAC made things sound thinner. Probably has something to do with the quality of the DAC. ... | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac I purchased a Node 2i from a dealer and was talked into adding a DAC. I got it home and discovered the Node 2i sounded better without the DAC. I for some reason felt MQA sounded better and by adding a DAC you give up the complete unfold of MQA. ... | |
| How do I pay? I would inspect them first and then the seller would have to guarantee them against defects. | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? You certainly are not going to get much bass from small speakers. Only way to live with them would be to add a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers. However, add the REL's to a nice pair of towers and you will enjoy music a lot better. I certainly wou... | |
| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. Problem I have connecting my speaker cable to my ARCAM AVR 550 is I also have my two REL S2 SHO subwoofers connect to right and left channel using the high level connection. So far, I am not sure I can use a spade connection based on the design o... | |
| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. I wonder if they have done significant blind testing?I would also be curious to know if I were blind tested to compare speaker cables if I would hear a significant difference? I doubt someone would sit down to listen to a system and say this soun... |
