| 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... | |
| LSA 20 Statement Speakers @mijostyn —the LSA 20s are nicely made and that is about it. The engineering is very basic. Even you could probably master it. They are nothing special. This design has been drilled into the ground. Really? And what design is that? Dynamic drivers... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? People who really care about sound — whatever that % is — won’t fall for the placebo effect because they use their ears to judge sound, not their eyes. As for the rest, it’s the same as everything else — a fool and his money...I’ve got around 7/8 ... |
