| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? All audio magazines do this. Also, when have you seen a negative review of anything in an audio magazine. They are a joke. | |
| Sound quality of Roon The wadax server was in 1 of the worst sounding rooms at axpona this year by multiple reviewers. I didn’t believe any of the wadax server review in TAS either. I went from using iTunes over 15 years ago, then using Pure Music and Audirvana for ye... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? Who listens to asr? Measurements don’t tell you how it sounds. What is the sq difference of a dac with .005 distortion vs .0003? Good luck. Stereophile is the worst on producing bad measurements and reviewers love the sound. I never look at measur... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I would never use usb. I won’t use any tweaks to try to get better performance from usb. I use Ethernet and i2s to my dac, and my dac is fpga based. | |
| What the ship just happened? Unless you are going to keep this forever, send it back. It is damaged and you don’t have the oem packaging, 2 of the highest issues that buyers look at when buying. I hope you took a picture of the amp on your porch. I had a large piece of art t... | |
| Lumin U2 Mini If you think you need a server, check out the Auralic, when I bought 1 many years ago, it sounded better than any Aurender or Lumin I had demoed. Also, DS Lightning software from Auralic is much better than the software from Lumin or Aurender. I g... | |
| Your thoughts on selling That’s a terrible idea on how to sell vinyl. I sold all my vinyl and everything analog a couple years ago. It was very easy. I went out and looked on a couple websites for the range of prices people were asking for each piece. Then, I would only s... | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Neither! I prefer tidal because of the SQ and what's available. | |
| E-bay and its sellers now why would any seller out of the blue refuse to sell something to a buyer, especially a buyer that has recently purchased from the seller? I don't think we are getting the whole story. This is like a buyer on agon wanting to buy an amp from a s... | |
| DAC diminishing returns If you can’t hear a difference then save your money. I can tell you that there are many dacs that would be an huge upgrade for you but they will cost more, and the better 1’s will require you to upgrade your system to get the best out of the dac. ... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit Noske- that is just my opinion. Looking at the video, the reviewer didn’t like what Danny was telling him regarding how measurements are taken. I think this upset the reviewer. Plus, a while back, Danny called out reviewers for not doing appropria... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit We are talking about a $300 speaker, right? Not sure if ASR is up for reviewing speakers but if you look at the latest TAS issue that has the Stenhiem $72,000 speakers that he thought were the cats meow, and they had square edges, as well as many ... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit ASR's comment about square edges on the cabinet. Look at the latest review in TAS, the Stenhiem $72,000 speaker has square edges, along with Harbeth and many others which I think are some of the ugliest speakers out there, and I don't like the sou... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon Dave and Troy- I’m guessing those 2 servers that you found to be the best, you probably sell those too, correct? “Roon has a dedicated Linux program you can use”. Roon provides software for many different OS’s. 99% of computer users don’t know l... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Phantom-av, sure magazines need to make money to stay in business but the audio magazine groups do it the worst way possible compared to other high budget hobby magazines: like car magazines. You can take any 6 of car magazines and they do a much ... |
