| MBL 101 X-Treme MKII Those are definitely worth going out of one’s way to hear. | |
| Humminguru record cleaner I change the water regularly depending on how much used and how dirty records are. Just visual inspection. If it's not clear, I change the water. Or if it sits for a period of time between uses. A gallon of distilled water goes a long way. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K I’m still an Ohm Walsh fan in particular for these things, if you can even find a pair for sale these days, especially for their overall good sound, versatility and ability to bring a recording into your room and make it sound like live performers... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner I finally achieved ultimate vinyl paradise last year after acquiring my very own Humminguru. Highly recommended! Distilled water maybe with an optional drop or two of Shaklee Basic H for me. | |
| Quick System Building Pop Quiz: @ghdprentice , thanks for your response. I do notice you list multiple systems? Is it correct to speculate that one system alone, no matter how good, can do it all for you? Personally, that is how I tend to think about it. I have many differe... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Are all those mentioned above dealers and/or youtubers? | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now @mclinnguy Yes that is what I read yesterday prior to posting here. No doubt Roon sounds different than Squeeze and Plex I have also used extensively prior. Each of these software products implement a streaming engine differently. Roon’s is ... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now "SQ on the Bryston might be a little more robust but only under extreme scrutiny." Roon is very flexible in how its sound can be tweaked including applying user defined EQ and/or DSP. DSP is perhaps the feature now that I could least live without... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now Roon acknowledged slowness has been an issue in general and I see others on forums that confirm that can happen. Obviously there are many different Roon configurations and library sizes so I would expect varied impacts. I have a fairly large libr... | |
| "Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!" I don’t know why Revel does not get more love here. Too easy perhaps. | |
| The Unmeasurable Aspects of High-End Audio – PS Audio Stating the obvious. Good design matters. Noise and distortion is bad. But there will always be different strokes for different folks. | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII I have heard other Fritz models if not Carbon and they are a very smart choice for standmount speakers. . Most unique is they are designed to sound good with most any amp but beyond that they deliver exceptional sound and value. | |
| Streaming upgrade from Cambridge Audio cxn v2 @deone don’t be surprised. Do be skeptical of recommendations with nothing concrete to back it up other than “I think it sounds good”, especially before dropping big bucks. Do your homework and you will realize top notch digital these days need no... | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. I’d check out Krell. | |
| Cambridge EVO 150 I wouldn’t call it forward sounding at all. There is however no high end rolloff as was more common in older Class D amps and that is a difference for the better in terms of hearing all the detail in a recording, which the Evo 150 is very good at. |
