| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs What a great thread, making notes and planning to pick up several recommended lps. A couple not much talked about records I love: The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier. I bought the reissue on Amazon a few years ago when I got back into vinyl. G... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @fredrik222 I apologize for taking sides - but I would like to encourage you to start your own thread(s) in digital audio (i.e. “Debunking fanatical and fantastical claims in audio”) and fight it out with people who care about what you have... | |
| What was your first record? @roxy54 LOL. Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman is one of my most listened to albums of all time. It was part of the fabric growing up. If you're ashamed of that album, I guess I need to kill myself for my first purchase. | |

| Picking an Open Baffle speaker for 2w SET amp - plus bonus question !?! @mrotino Wow, those speakers, powered woofers. Next level (or next life) for me. Will be very interesting to hear what the little Decware will do for you. I hope you'll post your experience, would love to know how it fared compared to your 30 watt... | |
| Picking an Open Baffle speaker for 2w SET amp - plus bonus question !?! @ricwa I will def make sure to investigate further before making any miniDSP purchase - but if correct, the DDRC-24 would be a very attractive price proposition to add room correction, cross-over and eq capabilities to my set-up. Great tip, thank ... | |
| Picking an Open Baffle speaker for 2w SET amp - plus bonus question !?! @ricwa awesome, thank you. Just reading about all the different miniDSP products. If all I want to do is follow your advice, adding room correction (Dirac) and setting crossover for sub integration, could I do that with the DDRC-24, "a USB DAC+DSP... | |
