| Is there a problem with Decca's new packaging for vinyl records? Decca isn’t ignoring the audiophile community. If they were ignoring us they wouldn’t be issuing vinyl. It’s more correct to say that they are exploiting audiophiles who are willing to shell out extra cash in the belief that vinyl is a superior ... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer I would stay away from Volumino. I had bought a Digital Processor from shm that threw in a streamer that I didn’t want or need made by Volumino. The DSP worked great but the streamer was awful and the Volumino app was worse. @blisshifi gave a go... | |
| Is there a problem with Decca's new packaging for vinyl records? @richardbrand I just have to shake my head at people who crow about the superiority of vinyl when recordings are used that were either recorded digitally or digitally mixed in a remastering process. This was a big deal when many of the recom... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? @daveyf The musicians of which I speak have certainly been exposed to fancier systems. More importantly they know what music really sounds like, because they regularly attend concerts and of course perform them. They just don’t feel the n... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? I’ve known world class classical musicians who were perfectly happy listening to music direct off their phones. | |
| Is there a problem with Decca's new packaging for vinyl records? I was generically comparing CD prices vs SACD prices at Presto. There won’t be individual records available as CD vs SACD because these discs are now universally dual layer. Are the new Decca LPs recorded with analog equipment? | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? Good suggestions above. Let me suggest another way to go. If you have a DAC then you can use a CD Transport. You can also use a CD optical player that when attached to a hard drive can rip your CDs or can just play them when attached to a DAC. ... | |
| Is there a problem with Decca's new packaging for vinyl records? I buy a lot from Presto, and it’s there specials where the bargains are to be had. However if you compare their non special CD vs SACD you will find that they charge more for SACD. And who knows what tariffs we may ultimately have to pay? | |
| Turntable setup help needed in Wisconsin Just place a slab of cheese on the stylus ,crack open a PBR, watch Aaron Rodger’s highlights on YouTube and you’ll be fine. Or…I spent a few days in Madison last fall just bicycling around and passed by a couple of places that looked like they ... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. Has the OP tried third party apps? He sounds like his SQ isn’t the issue. I like mConnect but there are many out there. | |
| DAC suggestions? How about a Streamer-DAC and then the PC is out of the equation? What exactly is your budget? I am very happy with Cambridge Audio, or the Wiim line might be interesting | |
| Is there a problem with Decca's new packaging for vinyl records? I am not sure about the price equivalency comment…SACDs seem around 25% higher on Amazon. | |
| Qobuz vs Airplay My Cambridge Audio Stream Magic app was recently updated. Last night I accidentally hit the Qobuz tab. Previously if I had hit the tab I would get my account information along with a notification that it was inactive. This time I had full acces... | |
| Options to improve digital sound I used Mac Minis for a while but ultimately a quality dedicated streamer can do much better. SQ just isn’t a priority with Apple | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view Reviews on all private sites have gone meaningless. Recently we tried to leave what I thought were balanced reviews on Bookings.com and VRBO-mainly positive, but mentioning a few negatives that were something that I would want to know about if co... |
