| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? I just got a used 1993 CD. Listening to it now. There is definitely more clarity. Bass is a little more defined. I'd say a little less ear fatigue as well. Overall not a huge difference but still definitely worth the $6.00 for the CD. I'll rip it ... | |
| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? I looked the album up on the dynamic range database. The DR on the 1993 CD is okay but not great. The DR on the 1993 vinyl is very good. The DR on the 2011 remaster is slightly worse than the 1993 CD. It looks like all the tested streaming versi... | |
| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? Thanks. I suspect what I'm hearing is because of the remastered version. Dynamic range probably compressed all to heck. I'm not into vinyl but I will look up the dynamic range of available CDs and see what I can find. However, several versions ... | |
| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? Thanks guys. @yyzsantabarbara I've listened to Aghori Mhori Mei. It sounded okay to me but I haven't given it a sit down serious listen yet. My renewed interest in Smashing Pumpkins started with Rick Beato's interview of Billy Corgan, Chamberlin... | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. @mahler123 That does not sound encouraging about the Bluesound updates. That is one of the primary issues with Sonos! I do plan on getting a separate amp with the Node if I go with Bluesound. Would love to know if Bluesound is any better than So... | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. @zlone I don't plan on sticking with Sonos. Too many problems for too many years. This current issue has been going on for two months and Sonos has made no commitment to fix it. That kind of disregard for their customers is the last straw. My pla... | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. After doing a little research I do not think the Powernode is an option for me. It very well may be a better amp than the Sonos Amp for the types of speakers the Powernode is intended to drive. However, Bluesound have not (and apparently will ... | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. Thanks. One of the purposes that the Sonos Amp serves is that it is incredibly discrete. One unit. Easy to hide. This is important because those are the terms set by my wife to put the speakers in our fairly formal living room. So I would prefer ... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. Update: Continued to have problems with the old Sonos Connect. Got a Wiim for my main system and everything works perfectly. Also, today several speakers dropped out of my Sonos system. When I went to connect the Sonos iPhone app forced an updat... | |
| Just discovering i/o. Hmmmm. Just looked up the dynamic range measurements on the CD and they are dismal. Among the lowest I've ever seen. They are a little better on the hi-res download but not much. The DR is excellent on the Blu-Ray Atmos TrueHD recording but I hav... | |
| London Grammar? Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'm still sorting out what I think about this band. For the record I don't mind 'mood' type music. I don't even mind some techno and electronic music. I don't go as far as 'ambient' type music though. I like bands l... | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Question: When I use Qobuz within the Wiim app is it still using AirPlay with its limit of 16/44? | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I consider myself fortunate in that I hear no difference whatsoever between CD quality and hi-res so that won't be an issue for me. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Got the Wiim Mini about 30 minutes ago. Easy set up. Works great. So far no glitches or dropouts. Time will tell. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I have ordered the WiiM Mini. We'll see. In the mean time I should probably try running this old Sonos Connect with the S1 app but I'm just too lazy to fool with it anymore. |
