Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
Thank you all for the clarification about Atmos. I will stick with 2-channel, I guess.  
Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
I currently use a USB cable from Wireworld to feed a re-clocker from Acousence which then feeds my MSB Platinum Signature DAC through AES/EBU. The MSB does not have a Atmos decoder. So, if I understand you correctly, I would have to purchase a ded... 
Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality
My next listening was "Howlin' Wolf", the London Sessions, a favorite recording of mine. The same thing here with the Red Rooster track: while the Apple Lossless version is superb, the YouTube recording brings home the bacon: Clapton and Steve Win... 
Supratek Owners Thread
Mick just sent me this link to his latest blog post, featuring the Grange with a picture of mine on top (Reimar's White Grange): enjoy the read from the pen of the man himself!

This is the reply I got from Mick today about my balance inquiry: >>> Reimar Theres nothing wrong with the balance, as I said previously, its not a conventional balance control, it only has a very small amount of “shift” compared to a ... 
Supratek Owners Thread
Question to the forum participants. Is your balance knob working? And if so: do you hear a dramatic difference between all-the-way-right and ...-left?

I am a Mac user: Macs do not assign URLs to private images. There must be another way. On FB, I just drag the image into the message window, but here this does not work.    
Supratek Owners Thread
OK, can anyone help me with posting an image of my new GRANGE? I seem to be too dumb (if I click on the image icon, a dialog window opens asking for an URL).        
Supratek Owners Thread
Well it finally came to pass, and I would like to share it with you, who contributed to this thread: my custom White Grange arrived in the first week of November, exactly a year after I had placed the order with Mick: good things will come to the ... 
The revolution has begun!
Talking in the context of an amplifier about a woman who claims to be brought back to life by god holding her hands tells me everything I need to know about this infomercial. Totally weird!    
When were the best tube amps made?
There seems to be a consensus here: Today is the era of best tube amplification. And: some of he best stuff comes from artisan electronic designers. I just took delivery of a Supratek Grange phono-/pre-amp. I have not yet hooked it up because I am... 
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
to mceljo: we actually do just that - or at least trying to - with loudspeaker frequency response curves, for example. They do actually give one a pretty good idea what the speakers may sound like (in an an-echoic chamber at least) by just looking... 
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
For holmz: check this website for cotton-insulated wires: https://www.vhaudio.com/unicrystal-occ-silver-wire.html BTW: the way I understand it, the electromagnetic field around the conductor arises the moment it gets connected. What we call the '... 
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
I honestly do not know, @holmz: I never did the comparison in a blind A/B setting, let alone did I perform any measurements. I just re-iterated what I had read in various blogs and articles written by specialists (I, on the other hand, am an organ... 
Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
This is a fine discussion and - so far - unencumbered by righteous zealots. I was a cable skeptic until I visited a NordOst demo at the 2008 RMAF (together with my unbiased - because uninterested - wife: we are both scientists and know everything ...
