| Erhard Audio vs Decware Ah... Bryn Mawr Stereo. | |
| inexpensive streaming setup I thought I was the only one who was streaming from a DAP! In my case an Astell-Kern Kann streaming TIdal into an external DAC. Must say I've been posing the same question to myself for a while. Truthfully streaming through the DAP sounds really... | |
| OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here?? There's a lot of economic psych work done on pricing schemes. If I were smarter I could elaborate, but alas... | |
| Now, this is some fun! Wow. I’m new but I should have read this. Just posted about a similar experience under the title "I bet this never happens to you guys." I guess it does! Good to know I'm not alone | |
| Room help @mijostyn Thank you! I think that you speak the hard truth that I was hoping to get around through experimentation, dampening, analysis, etc. I will eventually come around to doing what's right. @ghdprentice Very practical suggestions indeed... | |
| Room help @ieales Yes! That looks like my room in cross section, looking down the long axis, except the staircase is behind the system. It does sound much better in this orientation. I am supposing it is because the back wall is so far away. Aesthetica... | |
| Room help Thanks for all the responses! I will continue playing around with the setup. I'm really fascinated by the process. And moving stuff costs nothing. I'm also reassured that this is not just an easy solution that I am simply too inexperienced ... | |
| Room help Ok, maybe I have answered my own question, Or at least am having a pleasant conversation with myself. But I'd love it if someone helped me work through this... Is it possible that the spacious sound I get when my system is set up along the long... | |
| Room help Thank you! Yes, my speakers are usually along the long wall. Moving them to the short wall however really opened up the sound. When I move them back in a few days I will play around with the toe in. I should have mentioned I am using Monitor f... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @markusthenaimnut Thank you for that post! Rambling is good. You hit upon a bunch of thoughts which were tumbling around my brain for a while. I think I will be talking to Mick shortly. And so the next journey begins. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Over the last year I have been playing around in the low fi end of things. It started with my first "audiophile" headphones. Then a good amp. Then a tube amp (which has introduced me to a sound that my SS stuff can't seem to reproduce). Then e... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Thanks Jim! I'm new to all this audiogon stuff but was really pleased to find this particular discussion! Thank you for the recommendation. Now that I have things mostly set up I have been looking for more and more things that I can sit ba... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados For Piano I would add Domenico Scarlatti's piano sonatas. Particularly k420. Veronique Bonnecaze does a fantastic job. | |
| Tried just my DAC as Preamp and started something. I think that there is a tendency to perpetually downplay exuberance. I think that that rush of joy is a wonderful part of this hobby, especially for a noob like myself. I am still forever trying to sort out whether a change has made the sound be... | |
| Desktop Dynaudio system Wound up going with the Dayens Ampino. I now feel like the music somehow surrounds me. I have the joy! |
