| 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... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters @pprocter Im re-posting an interesting link from @invalid that addresses your question… https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/bunking-cable-lifters/ | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using I heard Joseph Audio Pulsars powered by Hegel at an audio show and the sound was mesmerizing. Either used Pulsars or their Prism monitors would be great choices given what you’re looking for. At their $1299 intro price the new LSA Signature 80 w... | |
| Anthem MRX 720 Question @dawgbyte Please don’t go by this guy — he’s a YouTube hack who doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing. Look where he has his KEF towers positioned against the wall and in the corners, and he uses tone controls on the Arcam, both of which are just si... | |
| Why not? With the power cord all we have some testimony that someone believes it works. So we know that “they think it works”… in their place… with their gear. But that does not tell us if it work on our gear, with our place in the power grid. @holmz He... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters @invalid Interesting. Thanks for posting the link. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricevs I wouldn’t be surprised if @atmasphere agrees with some of your suggestions (or some variation thereof), but in retail world they’d also likely up the price by hundreds if not thousands of $$$. Gotta draw the line somewhere to reach a pric... | |
| Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers I love AP speakers. Sounds like you may be talking about the original Virgos? If so, here’s what JA had to say about them in the “Measurements” section in that review… The Audio Physic Virgo is a reasonably hard load for an amplifier to drive,... |
