| Mike's Barn. Recently saw youtube video where guy had something like seven systems throughout his mansion, expensive equipment in every one, and it appeared he kept all powered up 24/7, the electric bill alone! | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? Meant to say NO singular path. | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? There is truth in all of the above posts. There is singular path on this journey, there will likely be regressive, lateral and hopefully progressive moves, I've certainly experienced this. For me its been a long slow journey, I began by listening ... | |
| Sarah Vaughan's Birthday! As I gotten older I've migrated over to the jazz and popular music of the 50's and 60's dominating my listening sessions, Sarah is one the all time greats along with so many others. | |
| Did I Expect too much? Some manufacturers and individuals believe parts is parts, go to diy audio forums and you'll find vast majority believe measurements tell the whole story. Techies, designers, EE mostly concerned about circuits meeting certain design criteria, most... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited On the wifi thing, neglected to mention rfi issue on receiving end. You have receiver and antenna creating noise and the wifi converter itself clearly inferior to a quality hard wire receiver/converter such as my JCAT NetCard XE. If streamer is re... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Power lines buried in my neighborhood as well, still, I presume strikes on power lines somewhere else on my grid could have effect. | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Switchboard Susan is a real rocker. Speaking of pub rock been doing some listening to Dr Feelgood lately, another band that could really rock. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited I should also add every single one of my streaming components powered by lps which is in turn plugged into my power conditioner fed by 20 amp 10 guage dedicated circuit. Switching power supplies contaminate your entire household AC, neighbors SMPS... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Wifi grossly contaminates your router with RFI, noise is the enemy of maximizing streaming potential. Obviously its isolated, this not the issue. The issue is every link in the streaming chain needs to be optimized. Noise in streaming components ... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover Call me a skeptic on the active/dsp option, I'd have to hear it in direct comparison to the passive. I have both HQPlayer and Roon dsp to play with prefer no dsp with my considerably modified Klipschorns. I do like the direction Klipsch Herita... | |
| Mike's Barn. Found it completely unwatchable, may be worst camera work ever. Camera jerking all over the place, can't focus on the equipment as he describes the setup! | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... The room and the system are what they are, recording quality easily the greatest variable. Now, one can manipulate and change audio components and room treatments, same doesn't hold true for any particular recording. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Somewhat surprised someone hasn't entered discussion claiming all this nonsense. So for any novice or disbeliever, streaming chain tweaks and the ability to discern them first requires a highly resolving audio system. Second prerequisite is both s... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @debrajray Looks very nice, presume you'll be using LPS with this. Let us know your results. |
