| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Great question btw | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Digital only? I didn’t see a TT in your system… | |
| Low level listening Curious why you are asking for recommendations if you have already ordered new speakers? assuming they are returnable, what SPL levels are you aiming for? I ask because I also have hearing damage from exposure (too much clubbing in the 90’s) and... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @oddiofyl I can't believe how good it sounds with the Ortofon 2m Bronze Seems like you have a nice system and TT. The 2M Bronze is holding you back. If your phono stage supports LOMC perhaps step up to a Hana ML. This is exactly what I did (... | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @tksteingraber thank you | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @tksteingraber Thanks for the insight. The Bricasti looks well built. I'm not interested in ROON and it was unclear on their website if it has native support for streaming services like Qobuz? Does it have it's own controller app and if so, how i... | |
| Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers + whatever for Harbeth, I have the 30.2 XDs with a pair of REL subs, love them. The HL5s yogi posted look like a good deal. They are not the best for loud rock though, which is fine for me, rock is not what I sit down and pay attention to, but ev... | |

| Incredible improvement in sound quality @falconquest Tinnitus is not an ear problem! Then what is it? I have tinnitus. I use the Rain app to help me sleep. And I get more wax build up in one ear. Please do not buy any contraption to clean your ears - here is the best / safest way... | |
| Zavfino @thyname @lalitk @juanmanuelfangioii The Nova’s are directional, and it matters...guess how I know? Thanks to thyname, I realized my right speaker cable was reversed. I just switched the direction. The difference was obvious immediately. The ... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @dadork Yep, the bitterness goes really deep in the Final Cut. I really like this album but it's a commitment to listen to. Very well recorded - in Paranoid Eyes you can hear that the 'Colonel' walking to the pub has a limp and is walking on wet... | |
| Tube rolling newbie- how to choose NOS tubes +1 for Brent Jesse his advice is top notch and his return policy is more than fair. Basically you pay for shipping and get to try something else within 30 days no risk. But definitely let the stock tubes break in if the DAC is new and get used to... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Great analogy OP. Baylinor, I drink way more wine than beer, but beer has become as complex and interesting as wine and audio. As others have stated, a somm must be able to identify a wine in detail, blind, to get certified, and there are dif... |
