Hi-res streaming on Qobuz
I think it would be helpful to have a streamer that displays resolution.  However, even if it does and you cannot hear the difference perhaps there isn't that much of a detectible difference doing a blind test.  I wish my BlueSound Node 2i had a r... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
I attended the RMAF a couple of years ago and listened to a pair of SALK Song3 Encore tower speakers priced at $6,000/pair.  I thought they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall.  Problem is they are sold direct and you will... 
Streaming for beginner
When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i I purchased a ProJect S2 DAC to connect to the BlueSound.  When I added the external DAC the bass sounded thinner.  I wonder why that was the case?  Of course the ProJect DAC is an inexpensive DAC and perhaps ... 
Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res
I for some reason think MQA on Tidal sounds quite good.  It is supposed to be what was recorded originally.  I have a Bluesound Node 2i and when I purchased it I also purchased an external DAC.  After comparing with and without the DAC, I found th... 
Streaming for beginner
I really think the Bluesound Node 2i sounds great.  I tried adding a DAC, but lost Tidal MQA and the Bluesound playing MQA sounded better.  When adding the DAC the bass frequencies fell off and it sounded thin.  I wonder if Bluesound increased the... 
Speaker upgrade question.
I know dealers are not going to like to hear this, but I went toe the RMAF and heard a pair of SALK Song3 Encore speakers at the show for $6,000 and they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 a few rooms down the hall.  However, they sell direct. ... 
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
Maybe they could give you a 10 year trial and call it good.Actually, if this gear is that great they might let you try it for 30 days at home before making the purchase. 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Keel must be incredible and extremely expensive.  I wish I were rich like so many in this group. 
What is missing here?
Why would you consider buying an amp like this in the first place if it puts out that amount of distortion?  There are better choices. 
Node 2i VS Lumin D2
I purchased a Node 2i and was talked into adding a ProJect DAC.  When I connect the DAC, I noticed the sound was too thin and I thought the Bluesound Node 2i sounded better by itself.  It seemed to play bass better and I don't care what anyone thi... 
Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU)
I looked a Rythmik before purchase two REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  I thought REL's high level connection made sense.  My goal was to have the best of two worlds, home theater and music.  I like REL's technology because it makes more sense to blend sub...

What a beautiful system.  He must be incredibly wealthy.   
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
Millercarbon, your system must cost a fortune.  I can't believe you are satisfied with listening to music in that kind of environment.  I like to incorporate listening into a beautiful room such as a family room so when I have company they can enj... 
the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings
What about buying speakers that are made acoustically to match the instruments you like to hear.  I am sure there are speakers that reproduce classical music better than others.  It would be interesting to hear from those who have found the right ... 
“BLOCK” Function?
The problem with this group is many members are dealers and they are trying to steer things their way.  It would be nice to identify those who are dealers so we can see who they are and to know they are biased.  Tired about hearing about Magico sp...
