| anyone else getting phishing popups ? I have been seeing advertisements "drop-down" from the top or "creep-up" from the bottom. And sometimes there is a box in the middle of the screen with a X button to close it Yeah, I find these types of ads intrusive and very annoying. Just do ... | |
| Advice on using a dac with my avr Does it make sense to place a dac between my preouts and my amp and use pure or pure direct mode for music? We’ve been through this already on your previous post but you seem to just not get it. You’ve got a $2700 amp and $5200 speakers and you... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Ha. Shocked you already have them! I’d be very interested in your thoughts on how they work with your speakers. Honestly, the cynical part of me thinks springs kinda work the same way (differing tensions notwithstanding) and that these should c... | |
| A-Pod for Magico A5 Yeah, they seem expensive at $1700 for your speakers. By comparison you could get highly-rated Townshend Isolation Pods for $1000 but looks like even their Platform or Speaker Bars would be around $1200 and their flagship Podiums would be around t... | |
| USB Cable Ah yet another flat earther rears his head. Wonderful. | |
| new to streaming- help! I really don't think switching to Qobuz will solve anything. She doesn’t have to deal with Tidal anymore, so it at least solves that. | |
| new to streaming- help! I have an ASUS gaming laptop hooked up to my DAC with a USB cable (I’m using Qobuz). I have compared several CDs to their streamed counterparts through the same DAC and found that there is no detectable difference in their sound. It turns out tha... | |
| new to streaming- help! @motown-l My deepest apologies — I misread your post. The WiiM Pro gets decent reviews for sound and is pretty small (5.5” square x 1.6”h). FWIW. | |
| new to streaming- help! I know most of the people posting here indicate that streaming from a PC is bad for audio quality. Mostly due to space constraints @motown-l No, it has almost nothing to do with space constraints and everything to do with sound quality. Comput... | |
| new to streaming- help! I agree with above post to dump Tidal and get Qobuz. Also, if possible just avoid Wi-Fi completely and go hardwired, and in addition to working better it’ll sound better as well. If it’s inconvenient to run a cable from the router to your Node you... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I like Townshend isolation products too as the reviews are universally stellar in the improvements they bring, but they’re pricey as you’re aware. That got me looking into other spring-based products that may provide similar benefits at a more af... | |
| How important are spikes? I’d have to imagine rubber feet produce a different sound than spikes and each has their uses, and then there’s always personal taste. I always thought these Gliders from Herbie’s were a neat alternative to spikes as they allow for easy movement a... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Congrats, and glad to hear all your efforts were finally rewarded! Always great to hear about someone here achieving a happy ending, even if it is just audio. Ehem. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I’ve seen that list of quotes before. They got debunked due to their age. A lot of those quotes you listed are from nearly 20 years ago. Steeeerike one! Your comment about GaNFETs seems a bit uninformed to me. Steeeerike two! As a result... | |
| new to streaming- help! Do whatever you need to get the computer outta the system. It’ll be worth the effort. Best of luck in getting that sorted, and if you provide more detailed info of what the problem is as mentioned above you may well find your solution right here. |
