| VTV D300 Digital amp "Heavy, custom designed aluminum case" — with a Purifi badge 😆 Except for their own input buffers, VTV merely assembles amps from pre-made OEM modules. I wonder who makes the modules for this amp?  | |
| Search for Linn Record albums but none are displayed We found the record label search option on the QoBuz "web player", but it is not available on the QoBuz mobile app (I could not find it). The Qobuz mobile app has a feature that isn't adequate for a search, but might be useful for some small la... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz However, don't I give up being able to reproduce hi-res up to 24/192? Â I believe Qobuz does not need to fold the music files 7 times like Tidal. Â Perhaps as a result Qobuz is able to unfold faster and image better. Tidal encodes hi-res into MQA... | |
| CDs: FLAC v ALAC (v Digital Download) What is your goal? A CD rip to FLAC or ALAC would be equivalent (both bit perfect). You can convert files between FLAC and ALAC format with no loss in quality. Do you still have the CDs? From Qobuz you would have to purchase the download files. | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention The AT is a bargain compared to the new Nagra cartridge ($18,500 USD) | |
| Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers If you want to get the most out of balanced operation, with whatever preamp you look at, ask if it supports AES48, the balanced line standard. Most high end audio preamps don't. What if the OP's power amp doesn't support AES48? Would it make a ... | |

| Amp Internal Wire Fun fact: polyethylene easily rivals or surpasses Teflon at certain frequencies. Ralph, I didn't understand that statement. Are you talking about frequency of mechanical vibration, and what aspect is the comparison about? | |
| Hint: Â Change your Wi-Fi frequency to avoid interference with neighbors router There are free WiFi analyzer apps on iOS and Android that scan and show nearby WiFi networks, their signal strength, and which channel they are using. With that information, you can choose a less congested WiFi channel for your location and set it... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES The short answer is no, Roon does not have a preference setting for search results There are multiple threads on Roon's community forum and it has been a requested feature for years. https://community.roonlabs.com/t/prefer-qobuz-over-tidal-or-l... | |
| Trenner & Friedl Sun I was lucky because the Trenner & Friedl dealer in my area works out of his home and brings gear to the customer's location for audition. As I suggested before, contact the distributor and ask about options for auditioning. | |
| Trenner & Friedl Sun Funny that you would mention Harbeth P3's, because they were what I ended up choosing. I listen mostly to classical music, and Harbeth is excellent at realistic reproduction of unamplified acoustic instruments and voice. I listen 4 feet away from... | |
| Trenner & Friedl Sun I had the Trenner & Friedl Suns on home audition when I was setting up my nearfield system a few years ago. I felt that the volume needed to be turned up to a moderate level before they came to life, notably the bass. Nearfield is close range ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados John Adams' recent "Must The Devil Have All the Good Tunes" with Wang, Dudamel and the LAPO is worth hearing. Indeed, I heard it performed last week at the San Francisco Symphony and enjoyed it very much. The pianist was VÃkingur Ólafsson (one ... | |

Some of the most popular threads on ASR are when he reviews highly rated expensive audiophile gear and it doesn't measure well, and everybody gloats a... |
