| Why is an iPhone such a good streamer? Because actually iPhone CPU is way, way more powerful than those puny ARM chippies in streamers. And remember - iPhone does not have AC power supply, it is battery powered and does not need any 'linear' power supplies. | |
| Soundsmith cartridges on Rega tables ?? I use SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC cartridge on Rega P6. You will need to raise tonearm via shim AND purchase different counterbalance. SoundSmith is too heavy for Rega standard weight and too tall for Rega tonearm. My phono stage is Pass XP-12. | |

| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? @rbstehno what is wrong with USB? Is external hard drive losing bits? | |
| Borresen X3 measurements So would anyone buy a car that measures badly. Like does not brake well (speaker ringing) or sometimes does not accelerate (11 dB dips). For a 'character'? | |
| Borresen X3 measurements IF speaker measures badly, but compensates the amp, combination may be fine. Say, marry bright speakers with rolling off highs of tube amp and get the neutral sounding system. | |

| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? So what? They like it and it is all that matters. 90% of people have audio systems in untreated living rooms, should we suggest them put bass traps around? Do they listen to the same music as we do? | |
