| Streaming vs traditional Like others I can hear no difference between identical files either from a CD or server or streaming. Provided you have good gear it should reliably play an identical file with the same quality whether it was from a CD, a sever or over the Interne... | |
| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system https://www.stereophile.com/content/zu-essence-loudspeaker-measurementsWho said Zu are supremely good speakers.This is a niche product that measures terribly but will sound better (louder and dynamic) than most other designs with a flea powered tu... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @fsmithjack You really need to listen. It depends on your taste. Do you like 1 a totally neutral accurate sound or 2 some bass emphasis or resonance.IMHO two cents YMMVBlade and TAD are camp 1 (driven by a British and Japanese preference for music... | |
| Comparison between the Bryston 7BSST² and the Bryston 7B³ Bryston SST2 is already slightly smoother than the older versions. I have not heard the difference on a 7B but it was there on the popular 4B. I think you will be fine with either model - so cost may be the deciding factor.Why do you need so much ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait Glad you are happy and had a good laugh. Life is too short to get worked up over things like this and we can all use a good laugh 😆I can disagree with people as much as much as anyone but I still respect everyone and their right to hold... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Cool. I hope you can meet up and above all keep things friendly. Kudos to wgutz for being willing to try. I know my setup isn’t affected audibly by cables or even an audio bridge but I believe others have encountered this phenomenon. So I believe ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Well Soundlabs U-2 are super revealing speakers and with 100K+ of other gear let's hope wgutz is willing to step up, as with the quality of his gear there would be absolutely no reason for any differences not to be easily audible. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @wgutz Clearly you can hear differences in all manner of cables in various systems and cannot remember not actually hearing a difference when changing any cable.So when is the session with Jinjuku to be held to prove your point?Or when pressed d... | |

| Audyssey MultEQ on Marantz av7005 You can usually edit the settings after the calibration is complete (my Onkyo allows this at the final setup step). The cut off is actually measured during the calibration. So in theory yes! | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku All you will ever get here is evasiveness. It is exactly the same that Randi found. When challenged hucksters are full of bravado and then they get even louder and louder about how confident they are. Ask for a demonstration and they ... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I love this guy. Distinctive style. Rock steady and plays with such force but totally relaxed and lightening quick. This video shows he is extremely talented. Extremely precise playing. Everything is very clean.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VeduwZ... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Wow, Hiromi is like Eddie Van Halen style but on the piano! What incredible talent. I would tend to classify this outside of Rock Drumming genre as is that insane demo from the genius Dave Weckl. |
