| Qobuz vs Tidal Folks,Question - what is the best option control Qobuz or Tidal running on a desktop using a phone/tablet. I use Foobar2000 to play FLAC/DSD files on the laptop and use the Oppo 205 as DAC. The Qobuz app on the laptop cannot be controlled by the t... | |
| to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong! Digital will sound correct when you remove that bias out of your mind. | |
| IsoAcoustic Gaia III with Focal Sopra 2 @ozzy has this combination. PM him and find out what he thinks. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? From a SQ perspective there wasn't much of any change to my ears. @rareace,You posted earlier that the unit was everything that the users on this forum had mentioned before. Wondering what happened now? The polarity on my unit is correct and I he... | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace,Good to know that you are getting a replacement. Do let us know how it all went through. Good luck.@hm1,Yes, this conditioner is something special. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace,I am wondering - why would you open such an expensive unit (at least for my pay grade) when Bob offered to have the unit checked and pay shipping both ways? I would NEVER do that - especially when you had it for just a month. Hope you bot... | |
| Goldenear Triton One R vs. PSB T3. vs. Spendor D7... This is my preference:1. Spendor (musical and captivating in an expensive MBL rig)2. PSB (super neutral, heard in mutiple systems dealers/audio shows)3. No experience with GE. Heard one in 2014 at a Texas dealer and was not impressed) | |
| Preamplifier, in need of input @earthtones,The Psvane 12AU7 are something special. Which other tunes did you compare them to? Any NOS? | |
| Preamplifier, in need of input I would also add a Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3, since it ticks all the boxes. But not sure if they have a dealer in your location. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace,You are welcome. Absolutely no intentions of upgrading anything at the moment. Last week I upgraded my Clear Day XLRs (2 pairs) to Inakustik NF-2404s. If I upgrade anything more, my wife will upgrade me as well :-) Took me more than 2 we... | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace,I checked the outlet that I use to power the conditioner as well as an outlet on the conditioner. They are showed correct polarity. I also use the upgraded 2502 cable, and based in the US.You should let Bob know about the issue and let us... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Id10t type of question by OP. Probably forgot to take his meds :-) | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? @mikelavigne ,I don't own a single LP and really not interested. But that was THE BEST explanation you provided on how turntables work and how the sound is produced using the coil. Thanks much 🙏 | |
| Help regarding SACD/CD players @anton99,I agree with jazzman7 that you should get a DAC with DSD capabilities. While the D.BOB is a option for extracting DSD files, I think the better way to do is to snag a cheap Sony player from the ebay and rip all your SACDs into DSD files. ... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ You need to go out and listen to the speakers yourself. This discussion will only make it more clear that loudspeaker choice is personal. I have listened to the D7 and similar Harbeths when I was searching for loudspeakers about couple of years ag... |
