What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
@danager, In a perfect world yes but in reality that’s not true. The voltages that are represented by ones and zeros have residual values that distorts the signal. And what effect exactly does that have? How much distortion? Does that effect ...

@erik_squires yes, well I am certainly on board and can attest to it working better, I thought it might be from breaking up the bass energies. But on this I am still discovering what to do, well, at least I'm reading and muddling through it. @fle...

@oregon +1 Yes, The complete guide to high-end audio, it’s a great book. Chapter 4: How to get the best sound from your room.

@r29y8u92 -  as a PHD scientist how on earth did you come up with a name that looks like a random generated password as a your Agon name? Welcome to Agon. Why does time change when moving closer or further away from a large body (such as the Eart...

@lemonhaze such a pity you haven't posted a system page. Like millercarbon, the best sorted listening room I've sat in and heard music played on a system would be Mike Levine's. In your opinion what percentage of system budget would you expect fo... 
Guess How Big My Speakers Are
@erik_squires what do you account the two large dips at 150 and lesser at 250 Hz in your room? I'm guessing you used a white noise sweep as your source tone? The kit looks pretty good mate.

Listening first is a winner. When I bought our home (because my wife liked it), I tested out the lounge room and it was just terrible acoustically. The master bedroom 24x15 was immensely better, the echo was considerably less of an issue. We had a... 
RIP oregonpapa
Frank was kind and generous with his time and knowledge. Clever bloke with a broad knowledge and intellect, covering everything from hifi to history and we had some great conversations. When I play the master recordings he sent me, I'll remember h... 
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
Discovering which measurements are important, and in which order is a bit like getting a Rubik's Cube solved, it's no mistake when it's correct and can be repeated. One of the main reasons I like reading many opinions of people who also enjoy our... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
A solid +1 for Puritan PSM156 power conditioner in my system. A pair of Quadratic diffusers, that's my big improvement this year. Room treatments that Agoners have been stating make a significant difference, they are correct, and I first hand kno...

Quadratic Diffusers

How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
For many years I have attended and listened to all sorts of events where live music has played. I regularly listened and danced to live Latin music. Last night I attended a live un-miked event with live orchestra and voice. My wife asked me why t... 
Sonus Faber surprise
I must say, I do like the house sound of Sonus Faber. Congrats on your find. Happy Thanksgiving Americans.
