| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Lot's of great songs mentioned here. I think I want to make a play list! Many of the songs mentioned are ground breaking but pretty old. IMO pop began in the '50s and has been evolving since then. I think to get to the greatest pop song one ha... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Manual transmission vs. Dual clutch auto vs. No tranny EV. They all get you there but are a different experience, There is something for everyone but some require more skill and maintenance. . | |
| Focal Aria 948 I'm a Focal owner, Sopra no2, her is my quick take on the Focals. They like being powered with an amp that has a high damping factor They are very sensitive to room placement They are front ported so they can be placed closer to the front wall ... | |
| RIP Jimmy Buffett I miss Jimmy already, he was so much more than just a man on a stage. Possibly the warmest and largest personality out there. His last live performance was in San Diego 5/6/23. I've already made a playlist from his setlist and I titled it: Jim... | |
| RIP Jimmy Buffett +1 @garebear well said | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? @fuzztone "No Tidal or Qobuz? What’s it stream, AM radio?" LMAO I don't get why this was released without Tidal or Spotify connect. Guess I can forget about XM Radio which I play for background music quite a bit. | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! Pink Floyd is like a gourmet meal, thoughtfully prepared, well balanced and properly presented. Roger Waters is like being force fed an all you can eat buffet, coarsely prepared, unbalanced, ultimately unsatisfying. | |
| Are Sales Down One would think the summer is a seasonally weak time for demand & the holidays are prime time. Remember the old stock market adage, "There is a price for every trade." | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers You have a very nice system. If you diffuse the front wall between the speakers they will image even better which is really saying something. The idea of diffusion is to scatter the signal so the reflected sound doesn't return to the listener as... | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Might want to check this....but if you're using the Node as a Pre then the output is an analogue signal. Not sure how you work an external DAC into this configuration. | |
| I Hate Moving Don't forget to label your cables before taking down the system. | |
| Distance from wall for KEF Reference 1s Every room is different so you will have to spend some time trying different positions to see what your ears like. What you "hear" is the only thing that matters. I have KEF ref floorstanders in my TV room but that is for an Atmos setup so recom... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? My short answer: I have two SVSs in my HT room and a single JL Audio Fathom 112v2 in my two channel room and they are both excellent in their application. I'm very pleased with the results of the JL room correction. The JL sounds very fast, smoo... | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier My young daughter just moved into an apt too. She went with an "open box" Powernode ($750 with factory warranty) to drive her KEF LS50s. She's VERY happy with her setup. Since it's for a girl, go with an all in one solution, smaller footprint... | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? YouTube vid to show off SQ....what a joke and waste of time. |
