| A deep dive into MQA, and its problems Such a simple solution, if you don’t like the format listen to something else. | |
| Carver M 1.5t Absolutely not. I had a pair of them back in the day. | |
| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? Wyred for Sound STI 500. | |
| system/room equalized flat from 20 to 20k cps--is yours? Why would you want to do that? | |
| Radio Paradise to Stream MQA to Blue OS I updated my my Bluesound components last night and gave RP a listen on the MQA platform. I liked the presentation. The sense of space, instrumental separation, and more dimensional images are what stood out for me. Big win for no additional $$... | |
| Adjustable Spring Bass Traps A: Wouldn’t it be easier to adapt a swarm subwoofer setup as others have done to even out the peaks and valleys? Perhaps utilizing in-wall subs if floor space is tight.B: IME, a crappy sounding room will never be a great sounding room no matter... | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons My VAC PA100 tube amp has dedicated 2 ohm taps. Can’t say how it would play on that tap as I’m not interested in that type of speaker. But if someone is interested in trying the aforementioned speaker, the VAC could theoretically be a solid match. | |
| Zu Soul Supreme with Leben CS300xs (or Harbeth XX.X?) I have not heard the CS300XS with the 0/93’s but have heard it with 0/96’s, a great combination. I preferred the Leben over the Shindo amp, possibly was the Montille but can’t say for sure. The Proac D20R was also an awesome match with the Leben... | |

| Straight out of the box doesn't work. There was a saying in the early days of high end audio, “If it works out of the box, it isn’t high end”. Nostalgia. | |
| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help https://www.bdiusa.com/living/entertainment-storage/modern-tv-stands-entertainment-centersI have the Ola 8137. It is well made, not inexpensive though. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Node 2i If you think the only thing that matters is the actual conversion chipset, you have a lot to learn. | |
| Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp So, I come to your house with $100,000 worth of cables, give you the spiel of how great they are, backed up by all the “white papers” all presented in exotic hardwood boxes, you are impressed. While I’m there, I’ll disparage all the cables you cu... | |
| Loose fitting Audio Quest Yukon XLR I auditioned the WEL XLR’s in my big system. The lack of the normal locks on the XLR’s bothered me. They fit reasonably secure but why delete the locking feature? Sound wise they didn’t do it in my system.Audioquest likely has a reason for desi... | |
| Adcom 555se on a smart strip? Fuzztone, Class D is 90% + efficient while playing. So if your consumption is only 29w when perceived as loud, the output to the speakers is probably around 25w. That’s a very friendly setup on your electric bill. |
