| Ended my Qobuz subscription I agree with those who find Tidal’s jazz catalog more extensive. I also agree with those who find Qobuz’s classical catalog better. I listen to both classical and jazz and have chosen Qobuz. They have far more high definition classical recordings ... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @thyname, step one of relocating the speakers involved moving them further into the room to get more air around them. This noticeably improved the imaging and clarity, but narrowed the sound stage a bit, which surprised me, as they are the same ... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @keithtexas It's the room, not the speakers. If you saw the photos I sent to Hansen you would understand. Goal is to pull the speakers further forward into the room and away from a wall that intrudes 30" into the room at its center. This wall f... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? To those who have been kind enough to respond to my post, I want to provide an update. I have followed the suggestion of @millercarbon and contacted Synergistic Research regarding their room treatments and other products. They put me in touch with... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @geoffkait yes I realize some posts are by those hawking products they sell. It's their right. Rest easy, I never purchase anything without demoing in my home. And I tend to shy away from the more esoteric items. It is interesting to me how few... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @audiotroy thanks for the input. You are the second source to mention the Wireworld cables. Will consider borrowing from The Cable Company to check them out. Also, I am not surprised you recommended KEF Reference speakers. I like the "British"... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @audiotroy the Luxman was a bit brighter sounding than my gear at lower listening levels, but not necessarily better. Its bass response was inferior. Overall resolution may have been a bit better on the high frequencies. It was not tiring or el... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? david_ten - Many thanks. | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? millercarbon - Same question on the Blue Quantum fuses - independent source that explains why product actually does improve sound Before I go through the process of reading manuals to identify proper fuse types, ordering the necessary fuses and... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? miller carbon - Can you direct me to a web site that explains how CFTs and HFTs work? I read a little on the Synergistic Research web site. Their web site provides very little explanation. Since they sell the products, I'd prefer some input from... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? jond and sfseay - Is the power supply and internal circuitry of a NAS any "cleaner" than that of a MacMini? I've considered a NAS My local Lumin dealer uses one, which suggests he may see little benefit to a dedicated music server, even though h... | |
| Help with picking new integrated for under 3k sammyshaps, if you like the sound of your Rotel, why not their RA-1592 integrated? It has lots of power (200w/ch) and that same neutral sound. And its built-in DAC will put your Apple TV to shame. The advantage of Rotel is that they have been a... | |
| Ordered my new amp today... been a long road! Cap, if audiomaze is unfortunately correct I have an inexpensive amp alternative. I have Aerial Acoustics 8b’s, which are power hungry like the 10t. If the Parasound doesn’t work out suggest you look for an old Proceed HPA 2, 500w/ch at 4 ohms, ba... | |
| Best mid priced Amp-Preamp You may want to consider the Rotel integrated amps, the RA-1572 (around $1,699 new) or the newer more powerful RA-1592 (around $2,499 new). The former is 120w/ch, the latter 200w/ch and each comes with a very nice DAC chip. I own an older Rotel ... | |
| Lumin T2 impressions? I demo’d a T2, but purchased a U1 Mini to use with my current Ayre QSB-9DSD DAC. To answer your questions1. It is a ROON endpoint and will do complete MQA unfold. (My U1 Mini does only the first MQA unfold. See MQA website for difference and full... |
