| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon I can think of one area where your computer would have advantage over most dedicated server, in that you have powerful processor, great if one is using dsp such as HQPlayer. In just about every other way, GS computer inferior. Noise is the culpri... | |
| Old CDs and records I did say vast majority of artists always get screwed. I can't help we live in society/culture that doesn't value artists more highly. If we did, artists as a whole would have the power to alter supply/demand structure to favor themselves. As thin... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? Many different takes on switches continues. I agree, lps on present switch is good way to go. In my case, not convinced of using any switch, Netgear router with lps better than audiophile switch, or any switch for me. I recently went FMC route... | |
| Old CDs and records Sorry, but the vast majority of artists have always been screwed. Up until recent years, relatively few musicians could even enter recording studios, not to mention get signed by any label, get distribution deal, etc. Today, we have home recording... | |
| Old CDs and records I don't think streamers are amongst those who've trashed cd sound quality, most have long incorporated digital in their systems. Its just once we discovered streaming and cd rips sound quality could equal or surpass playing cd's over transport th... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up I have no problem with audiotroy, no misrepresentation, totally transparent which product they're representing and advocating for. I observe far more hidden agendas from some here. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Making generalizations about usb cables, as you mentioned is system specific. I experimented with usb cables prior to 005, the one generalization I could make is, the more silver content the better for me. All my ethernet cables silver clad copper... | |
| Old CDs and records I don't believe rvpiano is making claim cd's and lp's worthless in general, rather worthless to him. I'm in pretty much same boat, well over 7k cd's and vinyl, trying to determine fair value entails so much work, daunting task. Yeah, I could sell ... | |
| Best driving music. Just off the top of my head, Driver's Seat, Sniff N' the Tears. | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? I'd agree with other posters, point of diminishing returns with streaming setups in general is pretty high dollar. The potential is likely higher than most assume. | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. Very interesting! My reference for best audio reproduction has always been extremely top tier vinyl setups, based on my aural memory of them. In my case talking like $100K+ total system value, in some systems this much on vinyl alone. @mikela... | |
| Keeping your components Dust Free I use feather duster and/or soft vacuum cleaner attachment for regular cleaning. Like the idea of make up brush for getting into nooks and crannies. Dust getting inside components can be problematic. Just the other day, going through one of my reg... | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet I should add in referencing OP, ethernet cables remain of great importance even with FMC. | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet Hate to say this, but not all fiber created equally, quality of FMC and what feeds it important. I've tried generic with stock switching power supplies straight into wall,no power conditioning, same feeding lithium ion battery pack, linear power s... | |
| Politics and Music @moonwatcher Your agenda clear, always inculcated belief system based on indoctrination for liberals, truth for conservatives, inevitable zero sum game. And talk about repugnant, forcing victims of rape and incest to carry child to term. |
