| Are REL the most Musical Subs? My experience in my REL is also that it’s the most musical sub I’ve ever encountered. Besides Paradigm I’ve also owned subs from B&W, Sony and Polk . I’ve heard good things about SVS. If they are roughly equivalent to REL I’d just stick w... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD For most of us the technologies are not mutually exclusive. Some have dispensed with their CDPs altogether but I think most still have players and may spin some CDs. And the difference between CD, CDs ripped to a server, downloads , and a stream... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD Vinyl was enjoying some popularity with the 30s crowd. They like to display album covers as art work.. I had written before about my nephew, otherwise a fairly intelligent guy, buying an lp and then being shocked to learn he couldn’t play it in a ... | |
| Speakers better without subwoofers? Crossover and synchronization issues? What do you do The DSP in current subs makes the placement issues a lot easier than in the past. I like SVS because their subs are musical. It isn’t the boom factor, but the way they bring out low level detail in quiet orchestral passages, and expand the sound... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? Budget would be helpful. Does the PSAudio DAC have options for different digital filters? If so and you haven’t experimented with them, I would at least try that. Also make sure that you have the latest DAC update; you may need to contact PSA f... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage The Mac Mini ought to be able to function as a NAS. I have to say that I have a MacBook Pro and when I am using it while listening to my streamers the music files stored in it never show as one of the libraries that can be accessed by the streame... | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? I’m coming at it from my perspective. I have a dedicated listening room for my 2 channel gear and 2 HT systems elsewhere in the home. One of these is in the living room and we pretty much use for video only , although I do have an Oppo 203 and ... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage Does the OP need a ripper? He states Qobuz will be his main source. | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? I wonder if the question of the asymptote applies more to to HT than to 2 channel listening. I ‘m sure that a mega bucks processor et al will sound better for video than a Mid Fi AVR, but would the expensive gear be sonic overkill for videos?. E... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I don’t know how to evaluate the environmental impact of the competing technologies. Yes, physical media has to be disposed of in some fashion, and may end up in a landfill. However if someone listens to their physical media repeatedly having amas... | |
| Are your records a health concern? My LPs were definitely a Health Concern. I would get so frustrated with pops, clicks and sizzles that drove my blood pressure up | |
| Updating my streamer OP never specified a budget. The streamers that he mentioned seem to be at least $4K. For about 1K the Cambridge Audio Units are great. The just changed DACs to ESS. Great support for streaming services and pod casting and Internet Radio. App... | |
| Need help with Eversolo A8 What streaming service are you using? If more than one is it happening with all of them? | |
| For SACD fans only DSD 64. In my last post, the manufacturer’Magnetar’ was apparently autocorrected to ‘Magnets’. | |
