| Seeing sounds and music..... The senses all interact in one’s brain where nobody can say for sure what all might be possible. | |
| Massive computer meltdown sends audiophile back to the 1970’s and better sounding LP’s! Home computers and many digital home devices are inherent noise generators. Keep at a good physical distance from hifi gear using a longer wire to connect and all should be good. | |
| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? Well clearly the issue was never qobuz service as best I could tell and now we know it was a particular recording in this case a test recording. Not uncommon for individual recordings to have severe limitations that may or may not matter. Case sol... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Nice assessment. Rings true. The Fritz are awesome as are Harbeth vocals especially female. No two speakers sound the same. Always differences and no one flavor of sound does everything best. | |

| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Another useful show strategy is find your reference sound as best as possible at the show, if you do not already know what that sounds like. Cost no object! Once you’ve identified it, don’t waste time listening to gear that is out of your budget r... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? You have to identify items to try from the pack somehow. Use your ears. If you hear a good sounding setup at a show all you know for sure is each piece in it is capable of delivering that sound in that room. That’s a first good step to help identi... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Go in with a plan for what you want to get out of it specifically then spend your time wisely and don’t be afraid to ask questions. May be doing CAF this weekend. Looking to assess some newer products. We will see…. | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? Only in smaller not larger rooms. |
