| ISOTEK - Full System Enhancer CD I like this disc. It does very well at breaking in gear that requires a signal to pass thru it.Playing this disc does "refresh" my system to its potential. One caveat; I think the system must have good synergy and be revealing enough to appreciate... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail The only constant in your quest for the right sonics is the pair of B&W cm10s. You’ve paired some good electronics with them to no avail. It’s time to audition some new speakers. The CM’s IMO and IME, are a middle of the road affordable line o... | |
| Dedicated Circuit Very often two dedicated circuits are used; a high powered amp in one line and sources in the 2nd line. Or line 1 is used for analogue components and line 2 for digital. To clarify, your second circuit is a shared AC line? Do you know how many oth... | |
| ARC ls 25 mkii cd/dac input too hot? The Acurus has 2V output gain, so it shouldn't be overdriving the preamp.Do CDs sound at all harsh, or is the problem only at high volume? If so, there could be a ground loop between CDP and preamp traveling thru the unbalanced interconnect. Try u... | |
| What should I use to convert FLAC files to AIFF? +1 for XLD. Save your money. | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? Goldensound is discontinuing their line of DH Cones. I was told this a few weeks ago when I ordered a set. I got the last set of Super cones in the US. They have stock in their Taiwan facility, but that's the last of it.Thanks to @geoffkait for tu... | |
| Primaluna or Rogers for YG Acoustics Carmels You're amp is going to need some power to drive these speakers. I only found impedance results for the Carmel 2's which indicates much of the mid bass in the frequency spectrum is around 4 ohms. https://www.stereophile.com/content/yg-acoustics-car... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Leading with the left hand is a great way to practice.You can strengthen your left wrist by starting slowly on the practice pad using only your left. Do single strokes, doubles, triplets and keep proper form. | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? The early CD issues are what I look to buy. More organic presentation, better imaging. I agree they don't have deep bass extension, especially compared to the same release on vinyl.It was certain record labels that had issues producing good CDs in... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? @mgrif104 As I stated earlier, they can keep trying to remaster these bad recordings as Karajan did. But you can't polish a turd.Have you compared one of these terrible Cds vs. the same recording on Tidal or Qobuz?I've heard these recordings on FM... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? Some record labels adapted to digital technology better than others in the early to mid 80’s. Deutsch Grammophon was way behind the other classical labels and released terribly harsh CDs for years. Their multi and close mic’d recording style combi... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? Mahler, that's what I was thinking. You've been in this hobby a long time so I don't doubt your ability to rip a bit perfect file. It's the other guys that I question. | |
| How do I delete albums with the Bluesound OS app Good idea. In BluOS go to settings... Reindex Music Collection. | |
| Qobuz Users Update? Mahler, that's a tough one to answer. You're totally wired except for the Android which is the controller. Could it be how the music was digitized to your drive vs. the digitized track on Qobuz? I've been wondering if there could be any compressi... | |
| Business Ethics in the Audio Industry @dancole Nothing wrong with your post. Maybe you don't have a lot of experience with direct sales in this crazy business. Live and learn. Schiit is a small company run by two partners and they may not be looking at the big picture such as updati... |
