| Importance of clocking Just buy a good DAC and life is good. Keep it simple is often the best policy. | |
| Importance of clocking Someone will figure it out sooner or later. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta They are the smallest and least expensive model in the meta line. So yes the laws of physics apply and there are limits. Bass extension is not full range accordingly. Adding a powered sub addresses that easily. Still, don’t plan to go much above ... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta If KEF ls50 meta speakers are not "audiophile" then nothing is. I own a pair + a pair of original ls50s. Also several other highly regarded audiophile favorites like Sonus Faber and Ohm. Every speaker is different but in terms of pure overall tec... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Here are some easy tricks to try with Roon DSP parametric EQ that I think are useful in many cases, especially for cases of older ears and listening at lower volumes. 1) roll off bass levels below the frequency that your speakers tend to normally... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @emergingsoul Thank you for the kind words. TO measure rooms, take a look at Room EQ Wizard freeware you can run on a laptop. It’s fairly techy but worth the time to get a handle on. THere is lots of info on how to use it on teh internet. I’ve ... | |

| Sound Quality Agree with @ghdprentice If the files on the drive categorically sound clearly worse than streamed equivalent at CD res, most likely the file contents is “compromised” in some way. Pretty much anything is possible when producing digital music fil... | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. I prefer a variety of fruit in my loom. | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? Shields holding captain but I dinna kin if the engines can take much more of this…. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? The there is always the option of changing the amp. That will surely change the sound of the power cord. 💡 | |
| Audiophile frame of mind Ok. In general with an audiophile frame of mind regarding expensive wires, make sure the vendor burns the wires in before selling. No reason to sell raw wires for those prices. Wire burners are also very expensive I hear and you only burn in once... | |
| Wire break-in safe without speakers? I wouldn’t worry about it. Just Hook the system up, let er rip and see what happens. That’s how normal people do it. |
