| What say you? @boomerbillone +1 Thank you for a thoughtful and factual post. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Just answering the title of the thread.....The Trim & Cover. Only Magnepan for me, so there aren't a lot of choices beyond the size of the room. 😆 The real choice is designing a room to build around a set of 20.7 | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Be Like Water......Sean Hayes The Long Game.....Jonathan Rice | |
| What say you? I think Mr. Singer knows what he is talking about and is candid to admit the dealer will make his margin in one area or the other. His suggestion to get the best structure first makes obvious sense. Having watched the video, it reaffirms my be... | |
| Bully pulpits The allegorical significance of the Melon GIF is perfect for this thread. Well played..... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi @bigtex22 Labels always do injustice to truth. Categorizing, stereotyping and dividing. Some strange posts in this thread. Since the only measure that matters is ones own ears, I would submit that when you hear music so well presented you are ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Nina Simone & Her Friends....BMG 2021 24/48 Qobuz Lovely. | |

| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @essrand Thank you for your work and your post. I'm currently using Audirvana and found the same when I did a trial of Roon. However, I have not investigated ROCK and this looks like the direction to go for me in 2022. Having over 9TB stored... | |
| In the beginning Because they were happy or wanted to get laid and thought they could impress a female? Still holds true today. :) Cheers. | |
| Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc. @cshadow I think a lot of us tried the DAC to amp experiment so do not feel alone. I used to discount the importance of the preamp and thought it was a place to save money. My current preamp costs as much if not a little more than my amplifier s... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Ear Yoshino 868 Preamp. Wonderful pairing with the Bryston 4B3 and was the only change in 2021. Zero buyers remorse. | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? I will buck the trend. For me, around 10 am is always the best, everyone has gone to work and the neighborhood & house are quiet. But most importantly, I have had a cup of coffee and my brain is not fatigued. I am as alert as I will ever be ar... |
