| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz What sound characteristics are important to you and what’s your budget? | |
| AVR Took A Dirt Nap - Looking To Upgrade With your speakers I’d definitely go Anthem all the way. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz The Zen Mini may also not sound all that much better than the Zen Stream unless you also spring for the linear power supply that according to reviews (Darko, etc.) significantly improves performance and adds to the cost. Of course it’s also a ser... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @blisshifi Crimes may be up this year, but let’s keep it in perspective — it’s still nowhere near where it was 22 years ago and much less than in the 70s and 80s where hookers and crime ruled the 42nd street area. Now it’s like a outdoor shopping... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @cerrot That some major crimes are up over the past year doesn’t change the fact that they’re still significantly below where they were 22 years ago. The fact is that of the 8+ million people who live in NYC plus who knows how many more millions ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @bkeske Thanks yet again! | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Here’s a hint — if you just ignore @kuribo he’ll go away. You’ll never change his mind, and no opinion matters to him except his own and he honestly doesn’t think he can learn anything from anyone else so there’s no point engaging him on any leve... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @cerrot I lived in NYC in the late 80s - early 90s and it’s much cleaner and safer now than it was then. I don’t mean to pollute your brain with facts and you’re probably more in the “I see what I believe” camp anyway, but from 2000 to 2021 major... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @bkeske Thanks for your input on running wired into the ZS. Most helpful! | |
| Best qobuz records to compare dac upgrades I wouldn’t use headphones to assess a DAC’s overall performance as they’re not capable of fully presenting things like 3D imaging and the size of the soundstage. Patricia Barber’s Companion is a good recording to suss out fine details between DAC... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I spent the $6 on mconnect HD and it was great until the app stopped recognizing the Zen Stream over Wi-Fi. I’m switching to a wired connection through a TP-Link extender that will likely avoid the issue (and probably sound better), and until the... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @cerrot You live in a sad, paranoid world and I truly feel sorry for you. I went to the show yesterday, met some great people and heard some great music. Also ate a delicious meal outside with some friends and enjoyed taking in the sights and so... | |
| Power cable Totally depends on what sound characteristics or improvements you’re looking for. | |
| Anthem MRX 720 Question That said, I’ve never been a fan of Yamaha gear. I’ve always found their receivers place a veil over the music. @dawgbyte Not sure how long it’s been since you’ve heard a Yammy AVR, but I’d highly suggest giving them another listen as that’s th... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? There isn’t a studio in the world making records today that is worrying about the power cables feeding the racks of processors used to make a record. @mirolab Can you share the recording studios you’ve had this conversation with? Not that it m... |
