| Digital is far better than vinyl I’m look around me and I can also now proclaim based on clear evidence that the earth is indeed flat. 😉 | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System I always look forward to the big VAC room at CAF. It sounded very good this year, a bit downsized from last time. But have not given it a second thought until now. The Atmasphere/ Classic Audio room was something I could live with and pretty s... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System @ghdprentice I always say to each their own. If that happens to be dropping a million dollars on a hifi then that’s something most would never even think about. But if it’s possible surely some will. I grew up in Amish country which probably acc... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Absolutely they can but only worth it perhaps once you get pretty much all the rest right first. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I did not notice sibilance but only had a very short listen. Are you saying the speakers produced sibilance where there should be none? Sibilance can be a natural occurrence and not necessarily an artifact of reproduction. In fact I’m not sure I h... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System If I spend one million dollars on a hifi it better be at least one hundred times better than what I got. Good luck with that! I probably need to invest almost as much in a suitable room first. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System One would hope for bigger and louder at a minimum, to the extent that would even matter in most rooms at home. In a private listening room the size of an auditorium, more of a challenge. | |

| Aurender vs Roon Kate Upton is also 5% hotter than Whitney Carson by my estimate but Whitney is a better dancer. I think. | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @designsfx the easiest way is create a basic Plex account which is free and I can share my library. Sharing libraries is another neat Plex feature. | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @lowrider57 yes source is still Linn axis with Denon dl103r and Electrcompaniet step up x former to phono stage then out to a2d converter. I use the Rega mini phono for that now with Cambridge evo 150. I know the sound of the dynamically normaliz... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound Ha yeah well I do happen to have a handful of old 78s I also digitized and those sound better than ever streamed. I’d be happy to share a few files if interested. | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @designsfx I still buy records but usually only when I find good quality interesting releases on the cheap. I already have way more albums than I will ever be able to listen to. The conversion process to digital is time consuming to do right compa... |
