| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I switched from Tidal to Qobuz and am much happier all around. I also think MQA is an overly intrusive sham and want no part of it. | |
| Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality Does the Oppo even output a digital SACD signal? The DAC is only one part of the larger equation, and the electronics all around the DAC will have a larger impact on the kind of sound you’ll end up hearing. If you want a more neutral, detailed s... | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative This is a dual use system, 2 channel and HT. So yes, I need room correction. I understand it’s a dual-use system. I’m just wondering what’s the point of using an external DAC if you’re using it with room correction? | |
| Need Preamp Recommendation what is your preference sonically to mate with (class A) SS?Who cares? The only thing that matters are your preferences. What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| New to Integrated stereo tube amps @joeyga — Nicely done. Not at all surprised you’re thrilled with the sound. Great stuff. Enjoy! | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Ah crap, I meant Silverline Minuets, not Preludes. Sorry. | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative So you don’t necessarily need room correction for 2-channel, right? | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! I hate this hobby. | |
| Problems with Amazon HD music streaming (HD / UHD icons not showing during playback) I love Qobuz. | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Since you haven’t shared what amp you’re using or a budget I’ll leave it to you to decide which of these would be a good fit. I think you should also consider speakers with concentric drivers as they also sound very coherent in the nearfield and c... | |
| Diminishing returns? I would imagine at some point, the limitations of the receiver will outweigh the benefits of purchasing higher-end speakers? Yeah, IMHO you’re already there as the AVR just doesn’t justify higher-end speakers and will be a significant bottleneck t... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? Absolutely add subs!!! Rather than the T7, for a little less you can have two SVS SB1000 Pro subs, and two subs are significantly better than one especially for music IMHO. And SVS offers a very generous truly risk-free trial period and great cu... | |
| "Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer? Do yourself a huge favor and dump Tidal and its absurdly intrusive and limiting MQA sham. Qobuz sounds as good or better and has a better user interface, and it’s cheaper. The Node is a great way to step into streaming, especially if you have a ... | |
| Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers For some reason REL only put a sleep mode on the 220V version, which explains why it’s not in your manual. Seems pretty lame to me. | |
| I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond! Does the picture on your large flat screen TV look worse because it has a cheap switching power supply? Of course not! SWPS's were perfected years ago! Only the neurotically obsessed claim that a linear PS is somehow sonically "better"! Don't fall... |
