| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording Also as a drummer, what’s more determinative of cymbals than specific brands is weight. I’ve got a heavy vintage Zidjian ride, two medium-weight Sabina crashes, a fairly light Zildfian hi hats so I get that nice “chick” sound that cuts through. If... | |
| MConnect Player issue I’d say spend the $5.99 for MConnect HD. I did and have no issue playing any of my playlists. | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? @8th-note I’d just stop here if I was you as it will not end well. You’re simply outgunned here. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @j_andrews Give Qobuz a try. I left Tidal 2 years ago and will never go back. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms Nothing says lack of character like a battery-powered car. Think, golf cart. Sorry, I know it’s the future but nothing from a battery will replace the thrill of hearing a Ferrari 8-cylinder or a Porsche 6 singing behind my ears. Or even a Ford or ... | |
| First Streamer... More important than a streamer is a DAC. Although I completely agree a DAC is crucial to getting the most out of streaming, I disagree that it’s more important than a streamer. With streaming, IME everything is important and additive so if yo... | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? I have to disagree with atmasphere on the issue of low impedance Wilsons doing fine with tube amps. Yeah, good luck with that. If I can point something else out: Just because your amplifier can drive to 2 Ohms and is able to double power a... | |
| Best In-ear monitors under $350? Yes, definitely go by measurements. Can’t possibly go wrong there. At 50 bucks they must be the best bargain in all of audio. Ehem. I’ll recommend the Timeless 7Hertz as a great all-around IEM. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms I do think I would be much more likely to spend money on a DAC (up to a point) than the streamer. If you listen to people who’ve built streaming systems it’s pretty clear that everything matters, and matters a lot. Cheap out on the streamer i... | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? I defer to Ralph for, well, everything but thought I’d dumb it down for the rest of us. To me, a big honkin’ transformer (sorry Ralph) and the ability to double down to 4 Ohms and maybe double again down to 2 Ohms is a good indication an amp has ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @jackd You are correct. My cable has one USB A and one USB B connector on each end so I’m sure they can make it that way if desired. | |
| Most Expensive Headphones In The World Not a bad deal if they come with the girl. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms Even if true, as with all things in audio implementation has a huge impact on the ultimate results. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Just to clarify, the LavriCable has just one connector at both ends. | |
| Looking for Recommendations: Best Wireless, Hi-Res, Closed Back, Over-the-ear Headphone Not sure if this would be your cuppa, but the Hifiman HE-R9 is another option… https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/he-r9.html |
