| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I have a set of Ohm 1000s and love 'em. No problem with bass or volume in my setting. | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC Why don't you pick one of the above suggestions from a seller with a good return policy and check if YOU can spot a difference that's worth it between your current setup and this one? | |
| Can you build a digital music streamer around a Raspberry Pi 4 with an external DAC? PiCorePlayer software is designed specifically for the RPi. It can run as a just a player (Squeezelite), or just a music server (running Logitech Media Server aka LMS), or both. The player can be run as just a headless player, or has an option, wi... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Looks like a classic internet troll post to me. Drives up, dumps off a load of fertilizer, drives off and disappears from the discussion, then watches from afar as people stomp around in the stink. ;-) | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company You need to remember that "lifetime guarantees" are only good if the company is still in business -- it involves their "lifetime" as much as yours. And, sometimes a company finds they have so many issues on their hands that they intentionally go o... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I, too, had a set of Ohm Fs that I purchased in 1975 or so. I've never heard anything since that came close to throwing a magical, ethereal, 3-D sonic image that just floated in space. I regretted selling them almost immediately. That said, I real... | |
| Higher sample rate than 16 bit redbook @fuzztone - what do you mean, what, where? | |
| Higher sample rate than 16 bit redbook If you are willing to stream your music, Qobuz has some 24/44.1KHz music as well as some 24/96K and 24/192K material. What's available all depends on what the record company releases.However, as noted, anything released as Redbook CD will be 16/44... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I had a set of Maggie 1.6qrs that I really enjoyed, but they do take up a lot of room and have to be out from the walls. This really complicates their use in a smaller or multi-purpose room. When I moved a number of years ago, I had to sell those.... | |
| Impressions: $1k-$2k integrated amps I've had the Bel Canto C5i in my system for a couple of years now. I've been very pleased with it. Very clean sound, but not harsh, and much more powerful sounding than it's 60 watts/ch at 8 ohms would suggest. (It has a very good power supply -- ... | |
| Replacing everything - Speaker Recommendation Request - Under $3,000. With music.... I've had a set of Ohm 1000s for a couple of years now. I really enjoy them. | |
| Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power? In thinking about it, the choice of the underlying PC for a branded music server probably has more to do with marketing than anything else. If you have a maker of audiophile equipment that is going to get a couple of grand for the product, you mig... | |
| What integrated would you recommend for summer amp? I’ve been very pleased with my Bel Canto C5i. It’s class D so puts out very little heat. They list new for $2K but I bought mine as a dealer demo for $1,200 a few years back. They should be less than that if you find one used. BTW, it was a replac... | |
| Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power? I've never had a problem with using lower power computers as music servers. The only reason I know that you might want a more powerful computer is if you are doing room correction or equalization, or if you are actually editing digital music files... | |
| Is it possible to transfer analog tone and soundstage of vintage reel to reel to digital. I had a number of direct open reel copies of studio masters as well as some open reels I personally taped of live performances. I transferred all of those to digital some years back and was very pleased with the results -- I couldn't tell the diff... |
