| Tidal Masters post possibly hundreds of Universal Music Group titles Not sure I buy the MQA logic (is it really worth dropping bit depth to get higher sample rate than 48KHz) but my hats off to Tidal because the Masters selection does have some well mastered stuff!I now use Roon to control Tidal and my own music co... | |
| 14 Year Old Female Drummer @asvjerry @inna While I agree there are many talented youngsters out there it does not diminish the fact that this talent requires 1000’s of hours of work. As a musician myself I would never be disrespectful of ANY of these youngsters. If anything... | |
| 14 Year Old Female Drummer Wow. Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic musician - I did not realize that this was a trackless drum track until some of the fills halfway through. Brilliant.However, I don't regard a fantastic talented MUSICIAN, whose name is Sina, as a "chick". T... | |
| Always spend whats nessercery on high end cables they can make ahuge difference With all due respect I beg to differ on the investment necessary in cables for equipment to sound correctly. 10K spent on cables in a 40K system is extreme overkill on cabling, IMHO.I would suggest that there are likely issues with the choice of e... | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies @almarg CT are varying the gauge of the wire presumably so the resistance of a longer cable matches that of a shorter cable. Low Resistance is probably the most important factor in a speaker cable (given signals at near light speed). It is kind of... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @david_ten My bad. I indeed meant to say clarity increases and distortion drops as you go to larger models but the overall sound remains totally consistent. The super version (stronger drive motor) of their 3 inch dome mid range combined with... | |
| Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo Subscribe to Tidal and Roon - both have a free trial so nothing to lose. Roon can be used to control everything (files on your PC as well as a Tidal) with Roon’s Amazing interface (use an android or iOS device to control and browse music) and with... | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! I found somewhere you have B&W Matrix 802 which should be absolutely fine unless you have a very undamped room or the speaker has developed a problem - is the tweeter Ferrofluid dried out or could a driver be damaged and distorting? | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! What is your setup?70's and 80's are the golden years of great pop/rock sound... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Without knowing the crossover frequency and if all tweeters are driven equally and in phase it is hard to comment on phase of the end result.The tweeters appear arranged in the space that a 9 inch cone would occupy. So in theory it will radiate ap... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @david_ten I have used extensively since ’95 ATC speakers. SCM 20, SCM 20SL, SCM100A and their C6 subwoofer and even their largest active centre channel. They all sound very similar even active vs passive.As you go larger and go active the clarity... | |
| What are you listening to right now? +1Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson Songs from the Wood - love the Tidal Masters!!! | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs Tim Isaacs is a respected name in the U.K. with regard to amplifier designs in the 70's and 80's. He designed a MOSFET output stage amp that played like Class A at lower power but slid into AB Mode at highest power - best of both worlds - high pow... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ?? One word - jitter. Most of the benefit of a good modern DAC will be the high quality asynchronous clock and jitter rejection. Perhaps the DAC in the LS50 is not as capable as an outboard DAC - however performing A to D and then D to A on the same ... | |
| power @wolf_garcia Soundstage readily admits that many speakers deviate from linearity at 90 dB and most will deviate significantly at 95 dB. Few if any audiophile speakers that Soundstage have tested can handle 100 dB.Take a $5000 audiophile speaker li... |
