| KEF LS50 I heard them briefly once in my home in a larger and smaller room. I think they do very well for their size in that regard and overall in a room suited to their size. There is only so much a small speaker like that can do alone in a larger room. A... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I was not joking.Also I have nothing against magnets.You are right that there is nothing I can add to this thread. Especially since I get mocked rather than my questions by which one might learn something new of value getting answered.So it is wha... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? If I am not mistaken, by default, Squeeze system converts WAV to flac when it goes over the wire. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The same way you know what other audio components might sound good, by doing homework, auditioning and comparing the options.I play FLAc files via 2 different Squeezebox touch units that I played .WAV prior. I also play them via PLEX application o... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Tbg,agree the processing is different and may or may not be done well. Should not be a problem if done properly. Any modern computer with good software should be up to the task but that does not guarantee it is done correctly with best possible so... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz DD,Are you resorting to name calling?My name is mapman not magpie. Just because your wires might be better than mine is no reason to call people names. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz DD,How bout some kisses and hugs for the actual HF owners? :^) | |
| 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. So thanks for that useless information.I truly am glad it all sounds so much better to everyone though ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz TBG,IF you have some good new info, don't let anyone stop you. Certainly not me.Please include some details useful to people who might be interested including what sounds better or different, what you are comparing it to when you say it is an impr... | |
| 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 ... |
