Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
@kosst_amojan     Good point. It is hard to totally generalize. Wilson has its share of lousy designs as well as designs that are legendary like the Watt Puppy.I would say to my ears the best sounding Wilsons are with pulp and paper woofers/mids a... 
Streaming vs traditional
@willemj Firstly, peer review is terrible these days as is the awfully poor quality of scientific "research". Secondly, If you believe lower resolution audio files will help save our planet against catastrophic global warming then you have really ...

Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers
+ 1 Rob Hirst and Steve FerroneDave "Smokey" Smelko of Rastas - you have to listen - this guy is totally unknown but could give David Garibaldi a run for his money.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H_E0uKMnKH8 
Streaming vs traditional
@willemj CD is good enough - especially if upsampled and gentle filters are used. However 24 96KHz is usually a bit better quality and the modern DACs are approaching 21 bit resolution on the analog out which suggests you can benefit from 24 bits.... 
Logitech Transporter out of sync with EMM Labs DAC6e SE word clock
Sorry but passing clocks around is an 80's solution that never worked very well. Jitter is a inherent issue with clocks and signals, The best approach is an asynchronous DAC that simply rejects jitter - however do lots of research because many DAC... 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
Yes you do have to spend much more. Basically mid to entry level tower speakers can be pretty good and you are soon reach diminishing returns. I could never be happy with GET 7 but since it works for you for 3 years I don't think you will find muc... 
Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson?
Blade or Wilson gets my vote. Sound wise - do you like British or American? Wilson have big bold warm bass hump or resonance whereas Blade will be tight precise and flat in the bass. Both have good mid range which is the first thing I would consid... 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
Wilson make excellent speakers with extremely high quality build and finishes. They are widely available. A sort of Rolex of audio. They sound excellent and although they may not be of great value they are solid well built and keep their resale va... 
what speakers to buy
+1 Inna. Don't hesitate - those Focals are a great place to start and would hold their value. 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
@knownothing Absolutely agree with you that there are many possible sources of contamination of the audio signal. Designers need to worry about and test for a variety of configurations to ensure noise or any form of contamination/distortion never ... 
RIP John Bonham
@lowrider57 Bonham heard Carmen Appice Vanilla Fudge (radio and records) and copied his rock style using the kick. Bonham did not know that Carmen played double kick.Amazing.Carmen published a book called Realistic Rock for drummers which is extre... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
@jaybe I meant no offence. Just making an observation. Have a good day. 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
@knownothing Yes of course any differences with digital ethernet cables might be related to a failure of the audio component to screen out interference. It doesn’t really matter how the exact source of contamination or corruption of the audio sign... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
@jaybe I saw electrical ties used to anchor large caps and a lot of heavy parts soldered together on their legs rather than mounted neatly on boards and anchored with clips. I would think this build would be fragile and not easily to be entrusted ...
