| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections There are simple exceptions from the rule "the more expensive, the better". Some time ago I bough a Chinese clone of a very expensive Swiss amp. The clone is claimed to perform 99% as the original one and it costed about 15 times less than the ... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections I understand your point of view. But in my experience, the price does not necessarily determine the SQ, and they are not necessarily proportional (and not only is audio stuff). Jay's Audio CD transport is known to be one of the best, hence I don't... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections ghdprentice , Your experience with digital audio and LP reproduction is valuable. It did not come to my mind to compare streaming with LP reproduction, partly, because my turntable is not so good. Besides, I have not so many LPs of the quality I l... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Today is a remarkable day in my audio hobby realm - I received a new pair of Atmosphere Class D monoblocks, sent with a care. I plugged in them a few hours before I started to audition them. During the first few minutes of auditioning, my initial... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections Thanks all for your input. I think I need more of that. @carlsbad2 , did you mean 92% instead of 2? Just an elementary calculus. I I compared of course CD reproduction with streaming with Tidal. I hear a bit cleaner and little bit of more space ... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Good news! It looks like that we both will be reporting our impressions on the amplifier almost simultaneously. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions If you will decide to try Atma-Sphere class D amp, you may start to control it with the volume control of your DAC of course. Then you will see if you like the result and then think of a preamp (I have been using a passive preamp with class D). I ... | |
| Burn in vs perception Good threat. There are (mechanical ) things that need break in. But perhaps most break-in in electronics/audio happens in our minds which are highly adaptive, and our desire to be satisfied of what we have (except that it is virtually impossible t... | |
| Pioneer CT-F1250 Cassette Deck - Please help Thanks for the advice. It is worth to try. This Deck sounds and also records surprisingly good (when it works properly). To me, the sound is often more pleasing than CD and even LP equivalent. | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! It looks like that all meaningful topics are exhausted 😭 | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? You may look for a used Cherry amp. Tommy used their amps with magnepan speakers and he liked how they sounded. | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? Better ask to my wife, she will convince you that all you need is a 1 watts amp | |
| Has anyone heard FM Acoustics Anybody knows how good or bad the Chinese copies are compared to FM originals? | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @drbond , no i didn't. The cartridge in fact was defective, the stylus was not in the symmetric position which was the main issue. The stylus could not been dirty or something since I used it too little. I think that it's better to avoid any clea... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? @audphile1 , Time has passed since the last communication. Just a small question. You sad that you replaced the original carbon cartridge on Rega 2 with Goldring E3. I got some new LPs and thought that it may make sense to try a better cartridge. ... |
