| EXPEREINCE WITH AYON @carlsbad Beautiful amp. Too bad it sounds like they’re pursuing the “going outta business” strategy at least in the US. | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice I’d add using 2.1 audio — a decent sub (or preferably 2 subs) well set up can really do wonders listening in stereo. Well worth a try I’d think. Just a thought. Enjoy!!! | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening I’m gonna be sorry I replied to this, but @kenjit what speakers do you actually like? If you’ve never seen an ATC midrange driver out of the box then you’ve no idea what makes them special, and since your ears appear to be failing you maybe you sh... | |
| Fritz Carrera or other possibilities! Two Rhythmic subs and GIK bass traps? You’re my hero man! I see absolutely no way going wrong with Fritz speakers. I’ll just throw out used Joseph Audio Pulsars or new Usher Mini-X Diamonds (yeah, a diamond tweeter in speakers under $4k — unrea... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist @ghdprentice You got me there. I’ve absolutely no idea what makes people like him tick. I enjoy and learn a lot from your posts though, so thank you for being the opposite of ebm. You are the thoughtful and experienced kind of person that makes... | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ If you find Qobuz fatiguing I’d suggest the problem is somewhere else in the chain. | |
| What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC? Probably do well to upgrade to a better Ethernet cable. In streaming, everything matters and makes a big difference. +1 on upgrading to ENO or the like. | |
| Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound I use my old phones for remotes, as God intended. Experimenting is good. Happy holidays. Maybe starting elsewhere than Apple might yield better results. Unless your thing is polished turds. @fuzztone Heh heh. Good one. | |
| Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound Well, I followed a similar progression, and what I ended up learning was that in streaming EVERYTHING matters, and matters A LOT. First, the Apple Camera Adapter is absolute crap. Upgrade to this and you’ll hear much better sound quality. https... | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ Neither. Go with Qobuz. MQA is a total farce, and Qobuz has a lot more real hi-res content not altered by some mystical algorithm. | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist @ghdprentice ebm just spouts off totally useless comments that rarely contain more than five words. I’m pretty sure he’s never even heard of much less heard Mad Scientist cables, so take it for what it’s worth. Nothing. He’s not worth your time. | |
| What am I missing? Some of the songs are really awful, but that's ok. It's part of the charm. I'd rather hear something new and fun, than songs I've already heard a million times. @mirolab Heh heh, and totally agree the ability to hear worlds of new music has b... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? @sns Big +1!!! It’s amazing what you can hear when you just trust your own ears rather than having to be “told” what “must” sound good on the basis of measurements. Sad. Just sad. | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz @tgilb Steve Stone did a comparison of several streaming services I think on The Absolute Sound a couple years ago and found Amazon to be sub par compared to Qobuz and others. I prefer the AMZN interface, but as sound quality is my priority I sti... | |
| What am I missing? Don't mean to drag this out, but I think maybe you don't understand what remastering is. It has nothing to do with bitrate. @mirolab You may well be right, but I’m willing to learn and would love to hear your thoughts. It’s hard for me to ima... |
