| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? Kind of a bogus question. My music is different than yours so you can’t say music is only un-amplified. My music is all amplified and I have spent decades playing music in different bands, so I know what certain instruments should sound like. 99%... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? +1 for Zu and the older Klipsch. According to stereophile, the Tekton speakers they measured were almost 7db less efficient than the manufacturers specs, so the zu and Klipsch are more efficient and sound more refined than the Tekton. -10 for Te... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Check out the ps audio sprout 100 | |
| Cat 5 - 6 -7 or 8 It's not the speed or length, the terminations and shielding are much better with the newer cables. I use a AQ cat7 Ethernet cable | |
| Replacement for current speakers suggestions Bogiedr1- you have good equipment. If you want more warmth, have you thought about adding a subwoofer or 2? As for your comment about MC, nobody takes his posts and advice seriously. In this post, MC recommended x number of springs, then after so... | |
| I did the right thing after all. Noromance-you can say that, but you can also say they don’t sell that many.IMO, The problem with MC is his overhype of everything Tekton, with or without ever hearing the speaker. I have never ever seen anybody that owns Wilson, Totem, GoldenEar, ... | |
| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? Nonoise - you use a mediocre system for your streaming test (speakers with a built in dac and using usb probably using iTunes too) and you think this is a good representation of a good streaming system? I’ll take streaming/playing ripped songs ove... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Go back in time and read how MC evaluated speakers: he used YouTube!! I suggest we take up a collection so MC can attend an audio show to actually hear what a good system sounds like. | |
| DAC connection: which type gives highest fidelity? I2s and Ethernet. USB is the worst | |
| Why is NASCAR suddenly topping the charts? Jerryg123- joe Biden bought all of hunter’s art because he wants to meet the president | |
| Recommended streamers/servers? When I tried a streamer server years ago, the Auralic sounded better than the Aurender and others. I decided to stop using USB because it just never sounded good, so I bought a very good dac with i2s and Ethernet and went with Roon and sounds bett... | |
| Advice on dedicated room Fix your room before adding subs. It’s not all about bass. 1st reflection points have nothing to do about bass. Talk to experts from GIK/ASC/Acoustic Fields to get your room right with diffusion and absorption, then start adding whatever you think... | |
| Ethernet and USB cables Kind of odd that the OP claims he has good cables between his other components but is asking if good cables matter to a server. Any good quality component can benefit from better cables, especially a source component | |
| Best Way to Upgrade Digital Replace the benchmark with a neutral sounding dac, the benchmark was known to be far too cool sounding (shrill), I would walk into a music room at a show and I could tell they were using a benchmark and walked right out | |
| APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE Autospec- I’m going to call bs on your threads about apple being rude and no help. You have to be working for the 2nd or 3rd rate vendor. I’ve had apple many decades since the apple II and never once had apple been rude/no help on any product. I h... |
