| 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. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? GAN is the 1 eared clown who has suddenly become the king of special olympics deaf clowns (Class lousy D). For anyone with 2 ears/normal hearing, King GAN is still very much a 1 eared clown. Dogma run amok. Anyone who values and respects the o... | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G I highly recommend Rythmik servo subwoofers, which can probably control the expected low-bass reverberation problems in your small room. They include superior adjustable EQ, which works better than phone-controlled stuff. Your small room does not... | |
| New Speaker advice I always recommend focusing on the weakest link in the audio chain. Your Vandersteen’s are definitely not your weakest link. @nordicnorm Although I agree with your basic strategy I have to disagree in this specific situation. While the older 3... | |
| Not sure if I have enough oomph. Okay, I’m tired of reading responses here that these amps don’t have the juice to sufficiently power these speakers and who are clearly not familiar with this amp’s capabilities. Here are some facts… Each amplifier is capable of delivering: 160 ... | |
| Ayre C-5xe to Kii 3 speakers using AES I switched from a budget but we’ll-regarded digital cable (Apogee Wyde Eye) that I was happy with and actually preferred to the Stereovox XV2 that was the descendant of the acclaimed Kimber D60 as they both came from the wonderful mind of Chris So... |
