| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm glad everyone is enjoying the music. | |
| Is it in my head only? I would not know how a router alone could change sound quality unless streaming software would be designed to drop to lower resolution to maintain a stream with a weaker connection rather than stop and rebuffer. I suppose it's possible but have n... | |
| When speakers duplicate drivers Not a fan of driver arrays for home audio. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Mobile and portable devices like iPhones play music and doing quite well. Younger generations on don't just sit and listen to music as much anymore. Still plenty of of good gear on the market though. Just not great for sellers though it sounds. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Sounds like fun and done the right way. Sure to be a winner in the end. 🏆 | |
| AM and FM antenna systems If the goal is to pull in more stations clearer the ticket is to use an fm tuner known for high sensitivity (and noise rejection). Tandberg used to be my favorite but many better vintage tuners were quite sensitive and are worth a look if assured ... | |
| AM and FM antenna systems Terk not term. | |
| AM and FM antenna systems I bought a godar and found it no better than basic good quality rabbit ears or dipole antenna (nothing ever seems to be). and harder to locate optimally for best reception. Sold it and went back to dipole. Term was no better either though amplif... | |

| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Not with the Wilson's but with speakers at the shop.

Zeal if the sound is not what it should be how do you know the issue is the wire and not elsewhere?Imask becausevaudioquest makes good quality products and I have not heard big differences with various digital wires compared to dacs and other comp... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ And I have no clue why a finely aged English cheddar tastes so much better than a slice of processed American cheese. Maybe the English cheese makers use Quantum Tunneling? :-)..I’m sure a simple google search would easily clarify how and why ... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Zeal I’m just wondering if you are currently using a cable? If so which one.If not, and this is your first, why not start with a good quality wire that might cost much less, see how that sounds first, then try something more pricey after if needed... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Abnerjack,In the case of Magnepans specifically, I think there is a good chance of both making a discernible difference in that my understanding is the fuse is actually directly in the signal path which is not the case with most electronics.Which ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Like I said, never the two trains shall meet.... :^)Obviously no two things are exactly the same. Its what matters to each and why that differs.What matters can be subjective or objective or both. Two different ways of assessing value. O... |
