| Help - is Krell dead? This is a prime example of the Audio Gods pleading with you to just move on. Best of luck. | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects Congrats! How did you order them as they don’t even appear on the Silversmith website? | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers It was more of a concern before streaming. Now I’ve got more well-recorded music — and much of it in hi res — at my fingertips across all genres than I could ever possibly listen to. If something’s not well recorded I just listen to it on my earbu... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Is this unusual for a manufacturer to standardly burn-in their units? What about units headed for reviewers? @lpretiring In my experience it’s not the norm for a manufacturer to pre burn in their products, but it’s sure nice when they do and g... | |
| Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono What are you using now, what specific improvements are you looking for, what’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 V3 Tweeter Swap What’s your budget, and are you open to buying used? Also, what’s in the rest of your system including cables? | |
| Creativity on artists I dislike Weird Al Yankadick — not that he’s even a real artist but can’t stand him nonetheless. | |
| Help - is Krell dead? There were reports of customers waiting months for repairs with very poor communication, and this was before Rhondi’s tragic death, so especially if you’re relocating you might want to take this into consideration. | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? As for the streaming service, I like convenience, so between Tidal and Qobuz, is one more convenient to use than the other? I used to be very anti Tidal due to their higher pricing and absurd MQA requirement for hi res, but both of those things... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? Honestly though, my views are in the mainstream. @mdalton If you think that your view that all streamers sound the same is in the mainstream you are seriously delusional. The vast, vast majority of people here clearly hear differences between ... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? some other dude - with whom i do have a history - piles on with ad hominem attacks on me, presumably for making logic-based points? @mdalton To be clear, you made a snide response to someone here who merely shared his actual listening experie... | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 V3 Tweeter Swap Just buy new speakers. Those Studio 20s don’t owe you anything at this point, and there are a ton of much better monitors out there today at very affordable prices. Plus, there’s a very good chance the new tweeter doesn’t work well in your speaker... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 Here’s a nice pair of AZ Hologram II cables at over 50% off list price. If they don’t work out you could almost certainly sell them at no loss or maybe even a small profit. Very well worth a try IMO. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisba72i-aco... | |
| Hi Fi Man Headphones comparisons and owner comments @freediver Big fan of the Hifiman house sound as well, but the HE400S that I was referring to is quite different from the 400i. I spent two hours comparing the 400S and the Sundara on the same equipment with my reference music and the differences... | |
| Gustard U18 with Gustard R26 dac? That would coincide with what several others said in that a better — and sometimes a much more expensive — HDMI cable made a slight improvement. I’m definitely gonna give one a try at some point, and if you get any clearer picture down the road I... |
