| Anyone Running Pro Speakers in your "High-End" System? ATC is another one that migrates well from pro to home audio. That dome midrange is the clearest and most dynamic I’ve ever heard and is really something special. They do need some juice to get their best though. | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal Also the search leaves a lot to be desired. @arnold_h Amen brother. I’ve got the same complaints, and I emailed Qobuz a year or so ago about it but obviously nothing has happened. With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too ha... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @wester17 Congrats and look forward to your thoughts after break in. | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I switched from Tidal to Qobuz years ago because Tidal was more expensive and I had no desire to mess with their MQA crap. I believe Tidal has since ditched MQA and I think they may have recently reduced their prices but not sure about that. The... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Didn’t realize it was that old. It really was extraordinary support all around. Hope she lasts you many more years. | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Glad to hear, but this really doesn’t speak well of Pathos’ quality control although it’s just a sample of one. Enjoy! | |
| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh Out of morbid curiosity I watched a video, and in a five minute span he said Bryston amps were more for home theater and that Joseph Audio speakers are overly bright and extremely hard to set up. You gotta be friggin’ kidding me. Bye bye. | |
| This One has Me Stumped I called Pass. They told me to send it in. Since I live about 30 min away from the factory, I will hand deliver it tomorrow. Ooh you lucky baastard (from Monty Python’s Holy Grail). Good for you! Let us know what the issue was if you could. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. Changed them one at a time to the AQ Dragons to hear the difference. That’s exactly the path I took — one Acoustic Zen cable at a time and ended up with a full loom as the benefits were additive every step of the way. The key is finding that... | |
| Ethernet cables I’d always thought rejecting noise was a key aspect of better Ethernet cables among other things, but as I was looking into capacitance in speaker cables came across this that maintains it’s also a critical factor in digital data transmission. I h... | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good +1 @glennewdick You may just be very used to the old, more detailed sound. My guess is the Cambridge, while maybe initially not sounding as detailed, is actually more refined (what you call “relaxed”) and the frequencies are actually more balance... | |
| This One has Me Stumped I’d go right to the source and try calling Pass. They have a good reputation for customer service so worth a try I’d think. | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements I think you might drive yourself nuts getting too deep in the weeds on individual product details, but if you enjoy that by all means have at it. I always start by identifying what sound characteristics I’m looking for, and then once I have some p... | |
| Ethernet cables Don’t waste money (if you’re not elon musk). Just buy on amazon for less than $10. You won’t find any audible difference at all. Those cable sellers buy them on amazon/ebay just like us and decorate them with fancy jacket or some other snake oil ... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment Looks a lot better than a bare wall that’s fer sure. Any improvements in sound so far? Don’t make any conclusions until the rug has at least 100 hours on it, ehem. |
