| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? This is purely my own experience and it may drastically differ from yours. In my experience power cables do have a burn-in period, it is real, it lasts several hundreds of hours, sometimes much less, but they don’t change dramatically, the changes... | |

| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Really? What streaming service do you think offers better SQ?Why? Aren't the two files identical?1. I don't think there is a service with much better sound quality, that's why I am using Qobuz as well. Some say Tidal SQ is marginally better. I can... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC First and foremost, Qobuz stream SQ is just adequate, no more than that. I guess you have already bought some Qobuz music. If not, download a good hi res file from them. It should sound way better compared to the streamed one. If you don’t hear a ... | |

| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? It isn't that simple. That's because many commercial CDs and digital files have been substantially compressed as part of the Loudness Wars, while an LP may be given kinder treatment and have a wider dynamic range. Digital often doesn't take advant... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? In my experience, a $700 turntable, if well sorted, or well set up, will equal or out perform, the best that digital can do or has done so far. So I gather you have the experience of listening to the best digital DACs in your home setup... Wow. I... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?

And by analogue vinyl I mean albums that were recorded and produced ... | |
