| Apple lossless as a source I stream Apple Music from a Samsung tablet via Chromecast to my Cambridge Audio streamer. The High Resolution tracks that Apple offers sound great this way. If I use an Apple device, such as my iPhone, it doesn’t offer Chromecast so I have use A... | |
| Classical "Gems" It’s a very broad topic. Internet Radio probably offers stations that specialize in chamber music as a practical way to explore. Most of these chamber works greatest hits have many recordings, most of which I haven’t heard Mozart Clarinet Quint... | |
| Changes to Orchestra tuning. The Historically Informed movement frequently emphasizes tuning. I wonder if the tunings they choose contribute to the occasional scratchy sounds the string players produce | |
| Apple lossless as a source You can attach a PC or and iPad or iPhone to your amp. They all have low quality DAC contained within . Then depending which device you choose you may need an adapter of some sort. I would take whatever device you choose to the Apple store and let... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @carlsbad2 what did you wind up getting? | |
| Sota Sapphire and Isolation? I use a wall mount and that cured any issue | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA Congratulations. You can’t go wrong with any of those choices. Do features matter to you, such as inputs (I2S, HDMI, etc)? Something to keep in mind My choice from your list would be dCS | |

Is it possible that given the nature of trickle down technology, it is possible now t... | |
| Inexpensive turntable to play old records I am sure that with proper care the damage to your main system will be almost nil. However…the old records might sound more involving on a less expensive rig. These records were mixed with the assumption that the main listening would be either on ... | |
| Holst The Planets I got a DSD download of the Karajan/VPO Planets from High Definition Tape Transfer. I still prefer the Solti/LPO version | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review @soix I agree with most of your remarks about reviewers in general, and agree that this particular review: 1) does read a lot like ad copy, and 2) has no comparator which would be useful to a buyer. This is not, after all, an entry level or ... | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good I have 2 of the Cambridge units so I am quite fond of them. I am a little unclear. Are you using the same DAC for the Squeezebox as for the CA? And what digital connection between the two? I had the Squeezebox when it first was released and ... | |
| Maurizio Pollini R.I.P. I love his Chopin Nocturnes as well. All miniature Tone Poems. I have to admit that I don’t know his contemporary recordings well. Perhaps @simonmoon can recommend a few | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. Once that starts happening with a given record, even if I solve it somehow, with subsequent listens I get all anxious that will happen again, and the enjoyment goes out the window. Either get a new lp or just enjoy it digitally |
