| MQA is for chumps Wow. MQA always seemed like a scam to me, so it’s interesting to see some objective measurements that would seem to confirm it. I was happier with Qobuz after dumping Tidal, and now I’m even more so. I hope this message gets more traction so MQ... | |
| New power cable for streamer. Not surprised. IME, if you have a fairly resolving system everything makes a difference and everything matters. It’s both the blessing and the curse of this wretched hobby. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp First, I’d recommend dumping Tidal and getting Qobuz — it’s cheaper, sounds just as good (and some say better), better user interface, and no need to worry about MQA and all its silly unfolding BS. I dumped Tidal and am much happier with Qobuz. An... | |
| Processor question Here is what I am looking for.....a good sounding (at all audible frequencies) home theater processorAh, that narrows it down. I’ve heard both at different dealerships but with the same stereo and HT demo tracks and they’re both good sounding at a... | |
| Processor question Your last question was pre answered.No, it wasn’t. I specifically asked if 2-channel music was important, and especially because as this is the HT forum it’s possible you listen to music in multichannel. My suggestion was for someone who values st... | |
| Processor question Also, do you have a preference of one or the other in a system used for both music and movies?Rather than ask what someone else prefers, which may or may not have anything to do with what you like, why not share what sonic characteristics you’re l... | |

| preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp can someone recommend a preamp for a set ampThat’s silly. Lots of pres will work with a SET amp. What sound characteristics and improvements are you looking to achieve? That’s the bottom line here. | |
| Integrate for Totem Sky Take a look at Unison Research hybrid integrateds that have tube pre section but SS amp. Best of luck. | |
| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives If you can’t get past the looks of the Celeste another potential option would be the LSA-20 that may be more palatable. The other option would be to keep your speakers and try a hybrid integrated like Unison Research with a tube input and robust ... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In? If you have some placement flexibility they’d probably sound much better on the short wall pulled out into the room more. Or, if you can arrange them so they straddle a corner that’d likely yield a big improvement as well — that’s the way Jeff ar... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Wow, that’s a great deal. Enjoy! | |
| drop down ceiling in basement...?? Read Earl Geddes’ “Premium Home Theater.” It’ll help you decide the best methods and materials for ceilings, walls, insulation, resilient channels, etc. | |
| My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today @whitestix - which McCormack amp do you have and what if any mods? Should be a very interesting comparo. | |
| Can anyone tell me about VERITY AUDIO PARSIFAL Totally depends on your tastes/system. When I heard them at a show I thought they excelled at imaging, soundstage, natural sound, disappearing act. Bonus is that they’re tube friendly. Probably not the best choice if you’re looking for hyper-de... |
