| LG / Netflix - The Center has split I have an LGTV, but the Netflix app is loaded on my Apple TV, and the center channel is very much in use | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? I have found pretty much every DAC to an improvement over the Bluesound, but agree that it may not be jaw dropping, and agree that trying the Bluesound for a few months is a good way to go. | |
| New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing I have pretty decent speakers in my HT systems, but I opted for the Anthem Receiver in both instead of separates. In one system I was replacing another AVR, but in the other system I was using a Parasound 5 channel amp with an older Marantz pre p... | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry When Stalin and Hitler decided that Composers should only write works that enhanced their own agendas, and killing the non conformists, Classical Music began a slow death | |
| New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing So you already have a multichannel power amp?I have been told by a few people at shows, none of whom was trying to sell me anything, that the processor has better parts and sounds better than the AVR. I was in your position and opted for the AVR ... | |

| AV Receiver Upgraded The main reason to upgrade the AVR would be room correction technology. I was in a similar position a year ago and replacing my 15 year old Pioneer Elite AVR with an Anthem MX520 was a significant upgrade. I had compared it to the Yamaha and I t... | |
| Qobuz through the Marantz CD6006 I don’t know anything about the Marantz, but if you have connected the phone via usb then you are probably bypassing the phones own internal DAC and using the DAC of the Marantz. Odds are significant that the Marantz DAC is of higher quality than... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Free Speech is under siege. The younger generations don’t like dissent. “Your words are hurting me”, “I don’t feel safe”, etc. Couple that with the ubiquitous tendency for people to get aggressive during Internet arguments in a way that they w... | |
| The anachronistic CD Transport? And do I really need one. CD replay done right should not sound all that different from a good streamer. I know we are an Audiophile site and small differences can mean a lot, but going into the same DAC, if the CD transport and the streamer are roughly in the same price ... | |
| Fanfare for the Common Man,...best recording in your experience? Copland wrote it as a stand alone piece, and later it became part of his Third Symphony. I don’t think that I have any recordings of it without being part of the Symphony. My two favorite recordings are Leonard Slatkin leading the St Louis SO (m... | |
