| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? I heard a REL S3 subwoofer demoed with a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart tower speakers and had a difficult time hear the difference when they plugged in the REL and unplugged it. I thought I had good ears for music. I wonder why I wasn't able to... | |
| Beginner choosing amp help I liked the Parasound Halo A21 Amp and P5 Pre-Amp as well. However, I thought their integrated sounded great too. I couldn't hear much difference between the integrated and the separates. I wish I could have afforded both a surround receiver an... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Someone just replied and said he thought the sound of TIDAL was better than a CD. Glad I am not the only one who feels TIDAL quality is better. I hard wired my router to my Apple TV and perhaps that makes a difference. The same person told me p... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I just read a review on the Legacy Focus speakers. They must be incredible. I wonder how they sound compared to Jim Salk's Song3 Encore towers priced at $6,000. To date I have not heard better. I couldn't believe how they sounded compared to a... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons I like listened to speakers such as the Martin Logan Motion 60 towers and the Dali towers and I thought ribbon tweeters sounded bright but too bright. A friend warned me about ear fatigue and I am glad I listened to him. This said, I wonder what... | |
| I need bass I am surprised no one promotes the idea of master setting speakers. This can make a big difference. After doing this, I would add a pair of REL T/9i subwoofers and play them in stereo to create a bigger sound stage. I was told two are much bett... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I personally would be scared to purchase used speakers. How does a novice even know they are in perfect condition? Why is the party selling them getting rid of them? That would indicate they were not satisfied with the sound quality.I wonder if... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Thanks for confirming my thought on speaker wire and interconnects. I purchased a pair of Tara Labs for $240 and find them to be sufficient. However, I have not heard the difference by comparing these to more expensive speaker wire.Didn't realiz... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I didn't realize a DAC can make such a SIGNIFICANT improvement in sound quality. Can you really hear this difference with a blind test?I have a difficult time believing you can hear a significant difference in speaker cable and interconnects. I ... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I have hard wired my motem using CAD6 cable to my Apple TV and hard wired using CAD6 cable from the Apple TV to my ARCAM. Wouldn’t that be equal to a 16 bit CD recording. So if that is the case wouldn’t that still sound the same as if I were pla... | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player Never heard of Red Book CD. Looked it up and it is confusing. Is this a brand or a standard I should look for when purchasing CD's? | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player I never heard of Qubuz. Do you need to buy a decoder to use the studio version?What does DSD stand for? There are so many acronyms you all use that I do not understand. Wonder if there is an acronym dictionary? | |
| Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player rhljazz, are you saying I should disable the loudness normalization function? If so, why? I thought this feature when engaged eliminates the volume differences you get from one album to another. So, why would you disable this feature and choose... | |
| Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter? I have a difficult time believing you can hear a SIGNIFICANT difference after spending $2,100 for power cords or for a $6,000 power conditioner.You sure wouldn't be spending this kind of money on a receiver that retails for $3,200 would you?You gu... | |
