| Measurement Bias Both are great, lets scientifically measure them and listen to them. You will end up picking a component that works best for you for any number of reasons. Your bias will be there regardless, for the numbers or for the brand, or for the price, or ... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? It amazes me to hear all these different opinions here, some of them based on the equipment they have bought. Something I learned a couple of decades back was to make sure your power was as clean as possible to your equipment in the first place. ... | |
| My end game speaks. So as a dissenter I would buy (if you don't have a pair already) a pair of subwoofers that go deep (meaning not REL) and pair them with the Focal's. I would not choose the Magico S7's. The sound with this pairing is immense and with your McItosh ... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy jea48, You basically made what Sonore sells for $80! I have to say, Sonore's solution is ridiculously expensive for a molded piece of plastic. Well done to you! | |
| You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? The only one I remotely trust is Tarun, A British Audiophile. All the others I take with a grain of salt. | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? It really depends on your ears. For example one person above says that the Terminator beats the Holo May KTE for sound quality, and I would disagree whole heartedly. I believe the Holo May is much, much more musical. I am also auditioning the T+... | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... Everybody keeps suggesting Aurender, I sold mine and bought a Lumin instead. I use Roon and although Aurender keeps talking about adding it they never seem to get there. Aurender interface is just too basic for my liking and the sound quality betw... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear Owned McIntosh for a long time, off an on for decades: Sound Quality: above average, a little warm to neutral, but a bit much on the mids and bass... great for rock music, but prefer other equipment for a more balanced approach. Build Quality ... | |
| "Diminishing Returns" Law of diminishing returns has happened with me as well. (system is now appx. 120K CDN) I am now concentrating the 95%+ on my room acoustics. (like I should have done from the beginning) Live and learn. But I am basically done chasing the dragon. | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Some of these posts were nothing more than rehearsed diatribe about Focal speakers and the beryllium tweeter. Your speakers are fine, but they sound brand new and they will need some time to work in. In the meantime consider the following: Your... | |
| Aurender A20 or Lumin X1 Sold my Aurender and bought myself a Lumin, I was tired of the interface problems with music streamers, no longer wanted the hassle, just wanted the best most comfortable listening experience... bought a lifetime subscription to Roon. I now listen... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app Glad I'm not dealing with this anymore. Replaced an Aurender with a Lumin and bought a lifetime subscription to Roon. Was really hoping that Aurender would have been compatible by this time... But the Lumin is really good anyway. Now I think a... | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? After reading all the comments, I guess I am the black sheep of this forum. I would buy this streamer because I don't use a streaming service. I only stream my own music library. Already have a Lumin though. | |
| Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply I already went through the exact same thing, see this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/lhy-or-sbooster-lps - - - - - But essentially I found: Result on my system (mid-highend -- see above description) was outstanding! The s... | |
| Made the Move and Not looking back! Yea, tried the other music streamers/databases and then decided on Roon. One of the main reasons I didn't go for an Auralic streamer. I've simply found it to be by far the best way of cataloging my music discovering information behind the albums a... |
