| Tyler acoustics (T1) - recced by GR research Any more love for these here? | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully The gr research videos are interesting. Big focus on cost and quality of parts used in various models plus some useful measurements. Interesting to hear about what you really get for your money in terms of parts used. I would expect th... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead @hilde45 He was one those dudes seemingly blessed with 9 lives. | |
| Are you hearing the instruments or the music? I could be delusional but I think I hear instruments making music. | |
| Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7? It will make sound just not very well. Magnepans thrive on power though not so much on current like many. Somewhat unique. | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Linn Axis: $600 (1987) Denon dl103r - $350 Electrocompaniet step up x former: $150 used Schitt Freya pre-amp with phono - $400 used Humminguru ultrasonic record cleaner- $400 Records: Tons of money over the years. | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead The world seems a little different without him in it. Truly iconic! | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? Classe preamps I have heard do it well. Schitt Freya is no slouch and Audio Research very good also. Shout out as well for LTA. VAC in your price range and always a contender. | |
| Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others? I haven’t heard sibilance be an issue with DACs in practice but I suppose anything is possible and certainly different DACs can sound quite different. | |
| The cool factor- who has it? Roy Orbison…..very cool! | |
| Tune of the Day Ouch. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? My advice is if it’s related to HAL, DO NOT TRUST IT! | |
| Has anyone here set up a system with tiered subwoofers handling different bass spectrums? Hmm most speakers worth consideration should go down below say 100hz. Not to say one couldn’t explore a three box external crossover solution somehow. Could be an interesting if not very practical approach if done well. Something different ... | |
| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus Nice! $30 solutions are the best kind and don’t happen often in these parts. I run Roon Core/server on a modest Beelink Gemini j45 mini PC currently, DSP in play all the time, and with very good results. It’s about 6 years old though and modes... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Hmm Astral Weeks was groundbreaking indeed. As was Sgt Pepper. As was “Days of Future Passed” and early Pink Floyd. Each in different ways. Revolver and Pet Sounds to some extent as well were at minimum early seeds for prog rock. The Beatles’... |
