| Speaker recommendations welcomed You didn’t mention how big your room is, and whether you can pull speakers 3 feet to 5 feet out into it while listening to music or how far you will be from them in your listening position. You didn’t mention whether you listen loud, medium, or at... | |
| just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof! My friend did this with his old ESS Heil Air Motion Transformer AMT-1A speakers in the late 1970s (which we thought were "high end"). He made some nice wooden frames to hold the chicken wire and back in those days he had to spray paint it black. H... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please Buying the music is great if the expense isn’t going to hurt your wallet too much, and hey, I'm sure it supports the artists far more, but as @ghdprentice noted, there are several third-party apps that can download your playlist as a .csv (Excel t... | |
| They should charge more for it… @dayglow "In transportation is a new Ferrari a better value proposition than a new Cirrus SR20?" At least when the Ferrari stalls it doesn’t need a parachute. (Just kidding). Seriously, I’m a boring aerospace engineer working as a mechanical en... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? If you have the room and much of the proper equipment to do a good job of building the cabinet, then go for it with one of the established companies’ great kits. But economically, if you don’t already have all that fairly expensive equipment and k... | |
| Apple Music on iOS 26 I believe the general consensus is that, at least until now, Apple made it too difficult to get an actual CD quality or higher resolution audio into our stereo systems. The software would always resample everything to 48KHz and spit it out. Apple ... | |
| DeVore O/96 Unboxing Beautiful! Hope you enjoy them greatly. If your wife wouldn't accept these, threaten to buy some Tekton Moabs in orange. | |
| New In 2025 Not audiophile, but interesting musically, is the forthcoming reissue (finally!) on September 19th of Buckingham \ Nicks from 1973. The prices for 1st run vinyl of this album were stupid crazy on Discogs. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @mylogic We are a long ways from the 1970s. Take a look at this and the capabilities of current A.I. in making derivative music based on nearly every piece of music created by humans. And it will only get better and better. Don’t misunderstand m... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? They just need to be sure to teach it Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"... Or have a good "off" switch available. | |
| Buying used from Canada @cleeds, nope it is not "fiction". Look it up. I hope you know how to use Google. Lumber, furniture, dairy, and poultry. | |
| Buying used from Canada Canada has had sky high tariffs on American goods for decades, some as high as 250%. Trump is trying to level the playing field. Canada currently has an imbalance of trade with us of about $50 billion. Trump would like them to get that down to aro... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 ah, that Singxer SU-6 looks a lot better...Thanks. Just wonder what numbers the OP would end up with going directly from his Volumio Rivo Plus to the LAIV Harmony DAC via I2S? Would they be helped by the Singxer SU-6? Thanks for the in... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? Your Gustard U18 mitigates jitter to as low as 38fs according to the specs. Have you seen anything in the other DAC or source that says they beat that? | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! Happy Independance Day! Listen to something good! |
