| Dedicated Music server vs Mac mini on a Devialet via Ethernet (AIR) connection @dbphd I would expect the sound quality to be the same via the iMac or the Mac Mini if configured the same. | |
| Malcolm Young...... Malcolm came up with all their great riffs! It takes pure genius to boil things down to a simple but great riff. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Geoff,Please re-read the OP post that starts this thread. "vinyl to cassette" is quite explicitly the topic.You are ignorant as well as completely off topic. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Geoff,You are showing complete ignorance.Analog audio tape has for decades been one of the preferred methods of compression in rock and pop! The tape compression of peaks is what creates the punchy sound on AC/DC type stuff.When you transfer good ... | |
| Dedicated Music server vs Mac mini on a Devialet via Ethernet (AIR) connection The only way to substantially improve sound is to get a better DAC. Any upstream changes are just band aids because any noise or distortion or jitter or other issues are ALL coming from your DAC. If the DAC is well designed it will be well isolate... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? Rvpiano,I sympathize with your frustrating experience with Schiit. Thanks for sharing. I think the information you share will be valuable to other prospective buyers of their products. | |
| Non-subjective speaker test at home Sheffield Labs drum track. Turn it up to 110dB. Also rebuild or replace tweeters as the ferrofluid dries out after as little as two years. (ferrofluid drying out could be one of the reasons people report break-in of 600+ hours - common speaker des... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Those who like cassettes may like compression - a more punchy sound. Cassette will definitely compress good vinyl. Good vinyl can have as much as 70dB dynamic range on the outer edge. Cassettes never exceeded 50 dB.There is no need to feel ashamed... | |

| RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems No issue wuth Tidal at all in six months of use but I use a Mac Mini. I would avoid streaming devices as these will all have much more limitations on processor speed and smaller buffers than a PC. | |
| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? Inna,Are you OK? There are many transfers of what were originally analog recordings to digital that sound great. Tastes change with time and so do interpretations and performances as well as recording techniques. I am not surprised to see a prefer... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @kosst_amojan There is another world out there beyond even high end home audio and you might be right to call it totally crazy but explosive it ishttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M2X6jisRSk8This studio was built only a few years ago and is similar in... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @koost_amojan Your Focal 936 are excellent but 3 x 6.5 inch woofers with 1 inch voice coil and 4mm Vmax simply do not compare to a typical pro 15 inch woofer with 3 or 4 inch voice coil and 10 mm Vmax. In surface area alone, one 15 inch woofer is ... | |
| Opening a can of worms @nonoise You are very clever. Great rebuttal. I still haven't got an anwer why some folks prefer the sound of fuses and wires over the faithful reproduction of the source! | |
| Let's talk power cords @jl35 You may be right. I have never experienced a power issue or bad wiring. I have had a component that needed conditioning. Of course I got rid of the POS component as this is unacceptable cheap bad build quality. |
