| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? @whart , I played a couple of discs from the Art Pepper Live at the Vanguard and Shelly Manne Live at the Blackhawk and reveled in what I was hearing. Talking about Shelly Mane, at 2015 AXPONA Chad Kassme played "Sounds Unheard Of!" at one d... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? @prof, Feels awfully cruel to have gone all this way landed on my final dream system, and then I can’t appreciate it. Hopefully that situation will change at some point. While things are ok (for now) with me, I have been following researches... | |
| Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio? @hbarrel I am looking forward to host you and @2psyop later this week. It is always good to hear different systems, get the owner’s perspective, and then look for improvement opportunities in your own system. I like the "open layout" that you have... | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence I am going to be very blunt and hope to not appear as being rude: The very first thing I did was look at your profile. You are here since 2003 (at least that is what it shows me). That is 22 years. In all these years one would (I assume) have lea... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Regarding the T+A DAC200.. I don't think the preamp is defeatable @audiojan Actually it is. You can set the output to FIXED and use your amplifier to control the volume. Alternatively you can set the output to VARIABLE, if you want to use the... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? I third the recommendation for the T+A DAC 200. @audiojan you have 2 reasons for going with the T+A - HQ Player and Holo Red. That is an amazing setup for the T+A DAC where one gets to experience pure DSD streams. A used T+A should be within your... | |
| A warning about hd tracks Reviving an older thread because I am thinking of purchasing the "Amused To Death" DSD version from HD Tracks. What are you folk’s latest experiences - Music Quality or Transaction wise? | |
| Help in Sarasota Florida…Will Pay for help in setting up my room and equipment… I was thinking about Jim Smith at Get Better Sound Looks like he can visit and setup your system - RoomPlay. He is specific to stereo setups, and his books were advertised online and many magazines. | |
| Wolf Von Langa - Serendipity Speaker One person here owns these loudspeakers. Search in the SYSTEMS page. | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person @maprik , A couple of us are meeting at each other's place soon. The way we are going to do the sessions are - have 2 more chairs and switch the places with the center sweet spot. Reasoning: 365 Days = 100%, Listen together Days = 5 (just a num... | |
| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice Be aware that if you install HQPlayer NAA on the Red, it will be compatible only with HQPlayer, meaning that if you want to also use some other source that HQPlayer doesn't natively support (like Spotify), you will either need another streamer or... | |
| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice I am going to suggest a slightly different approach, since I see you might be considering the Holo Red. You can install HQ Player NAA (Network Audio Adapter) on the Holo Red. Then you can use a PC/Laptop to play PCM/DSD files on it and send it to... | |
| IsoAcoustics - A Class Act Twice—when lifting the turntable—I pulled the threaded inserts out of the bottom of the turntable frame. I had to reinsert them and re-glue the inserts. Their IsoPucks also do the same. The simplest solution is to have a small card paper bet... | |
| Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio? @hbarrel , I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations. Yours and @2psyop ’s experience eclipses mine. I am hoping to learn and improve my setup when we visit each other soon. | |
| How to find local audiophiles we have a redneck, a wasp, and one with “brown skin” That was so funny. It was great meeting the redneck and wasp 😄. Can’t believe we spent almost 3 hours chatting! Looking forward to getting together for the listening sessions. |
