| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? It’s a good questionIm sitting in an outdoor screened in room at the moment. The cicadas in my outside room were at 85db earlier this week so no music out there until that passes. Currently it’s dusk and at 42 with overhead fan on. | |
| All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow The original CD release of ATMP was very dull and washed out. The release with the colored front album art was better. It’s one recording that needed a little sharpening up. Could be a good thing here if done well. Digital remastering has come a l... | |

| Excellent Speakers for Classical Music - $2,000 USD Budget Ohm Walsh slam dunk. | |
| All Benchmark System Question Whoops did you say apartment? Sub might not be a good idea in that case where there are neighbors nearby. 😉 | |
| All Benchmark System Question I will be surprised if changing streamers as suggested makes a big difference but you never know. With your high resolving gear perhaps. I’d try a different DAC at the source first, but that’s just me.Also trying USB from streamer to DAC rather th... | |
| The Hungarian lands tomorrow. Nice glowing tubes! A side of hotscakes with that please. | |
| All Benchmark System Question Mhdt might be another good choice for a different sounding DAC. |
