| Is computer audio a bust? There is no difference in information content between lossless compressed flac and uncompressed. If it sounds different there is some other reason for that. I moved from uncompressed lossless wav to compressed lossless flac with no problem. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks but well my German history is admittedly lacking therefore my logic is probably out of ammunition right out of the gate. 😁 | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I was graciously offered the opportunity to try a pair of the iics on loan. I declined for various reasons though I would have liked to hear. Maybe someday. I'm sure I would have liked them as a loaner. But there is no way I would pay the asking p... | |
| Purchasing The further an item is shipped and the more handling involved by multiple parties during shipping the bigger the risk of damage. When I buy larger more fragile items of value I look to minimize shipping distance within the U.S. even to minimize ch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wagner was apparently controversial at a minimum in this regard based on various interpretations of his words, not based actions. So the case would not seem to be clear. I don't like his music much anyway so not a biggie for me. Many others did mu... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz As has been the case with pretty much all the recent shills on this thread, TBG, I didn't expect you would actually answer. But I tried anyway.

| Jazz for aficionados John Wayne might be interpreted as "glorifying war" but I cannot find anything to indicate he was a draft dodger. To the contrary I read he sought entry to the Naval academy and was denied and was not draft eligible when Pearl Harbor happened due ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz If everyone on this site gushed repeatedly every time their stereo sounded fabulous Audiogon would become pretty unbearable. Much like this thread has become.One or two gushes per positive tweak/enhancement is plenty. Just my own personal opinion. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Careful Rebbi, that's the signpost up ahead, you could soon be entering the "Tweak-light" Zone, where ordinary things don't happen very often. | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings "Galliano | Bach (2010)" is one of the best. | |
| Best integrated amp for Avalon Indra? Any good quality SS integrated will "do the job". Bel Canto c5i integrated is the first one I would look at for good sound and value for those. | |
| How architecture helped music evolve - Ted talk Live music is the best and only truly relevant reference, but one has to take acoustics associated with the "architecture" of the venue into account and realize that each venue, including ones room at home is unique and hence not all kinds of musi... | |
| Room Size - Front Port vs Rear Port Speakers BTW rear ports will likely work just as well as anything closer to the front wall, but will probably work even better with some distance. All speakers work best when early reflections from walls are under control. But early reflections in the bass... |
