| Analog invites you to turn up the volume I detect much greater variability with recording quality vs my vinyl/streaming setups. Based on my own and other's experiences streaming sound quality has converged with vinyl, both should be entirely satisfying. My preferred volume levels stay ve... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling That's too bad, I exclusively use his recipes implementing various configurations and wire in my AC cables. Luckily I can replicate what I've done in the past. | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? The most expensive systems I've heard were audio show ballrooms, the small rooms never worked for me. Would have been nice to hear those systems after hours without all the environmental noise, gotta be 60, 70 or more db background noise levels at... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Having rare and/or cd recordings not available on streaming services is not a valid reason for failure to stream. One can rip that music to storage and/or continue to maintain a cd transport while at the same time streaming. One doesn't have t... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @car123 I see you're already aware of burn in issues. So my experience with burn in has been at least 400 hours on 006 although it will sound good right out of the box. I found micro dynamics the last thing to settle in, 005 bettered 006 until aro... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @brbrock I've not heard the Mojo. @car123 Good for you, I purchased my Gaia from @audioman58, great price and fast delivery. Paul also gave me the heads up on the Tubulus I2S cable. I'll be interested in hearing your take on 006 with Gaia afte... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Joey Defrancesco multi instrumentalist, if you like Hammond organ he's the guy. Jimmy Smith another great one. Bill Evans great arranger, great bands. | |
| Cardas Customer Service is Amazing! Cardas is one of my favorite brands/company in audio. Over a period of many years I auditioned a multitude of cables through borrowing from lending library at Cable Company, this included speaker, IC, power, digital cables. Some of the cables trie... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? Streaming software can be a steep learning curve, probably why some won't embrace streaming. I went diy route with the hardware, custom nearly everything, loved the challenge. Plug n play route also available on hardware side, can't avoid the soft... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Last night's listening session with this thread in mind. So I did the usual and let Roon shuffle auto play my library, so this means all manner of musical genres and recording quality played back to back. Deficient recording sound recordings f... | |

| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? I run Roon core on custom server using Euphony operating system. Euphony has the ability to run HQPlayer inside Roon in both 30 minute free trials or purchased full version. In my setup I prefer running Roon sans HQPlayer in 'bridged' mode, where ... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? +1 mapman. I have a large library of both Qobuz, Tidal steams, and at least 3k cd rips, Roon shuffle/random play either within genres or total collection. More than enough music here for a lifetime. For new additions, mostly get this from ... | |
| Tom Evans Phono Preamp Repair I watched the video prior to all the hubbub. I've done a lot of modding over 30 years, those internals are ridiculously poor, guy got exposed. I wouldn't even care about sound quality with these units, lack of reliability inevitable here. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? More detail being retrieved is due to lower noise floor, my position is this is an inherently good thing. My take is why would one want to obscure music with higher noise floor, noise floors are comprised of electronic artifacts, resonances in eq... |
