| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST I find most rock recordings to be subpar, so if you’re happy with the sound with other genres it’s probably the recordings and making them sound more palatable may come at the price of making good recordings sound worse — not a good trade IMHO. T... | |
| Outlae RR 2160 please help! This is the Audio God's way of saying “time to upgrade.” | |
| Outlae RR 2160 please help! Sounds like some kind of protection mode. First thing I’d do is check the fuse(s), but after that I got nuthin’ other than call Outlaw. Best of luck with this! | |
| Focal Celestee If it meets your sonic preferences I think that’s a great choice. | |
| My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier Nice review — interesting and thanks for sharing. What were the main differences between the Draco and Ares ll? I’ve got the Pegasus and often wonder how it compares to the Pontus, which is why I’m interested in your impressions. From what I’ve... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Just thought I’d share this song I recently found (although it’s almost 30 years old!!!) by Sonia Dada called “Lester’s Methadone Clinic” cause it’s a pretty cool song that to me has that elusive SD vibe/feel/groove and even some Dan-like lyrics. ... | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? but what constitutes the "pre-amp"? Who cares??? If you have an amp that has a volume control it’s an integrated amp. It matters not if the preamp section is active or passive, it’s still an integrated amp. | |

| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? A preamplifier (passive or active) and amplifier in the same box. All the rest are just options. | |
| Solo streamer I am very comfortable with others having different views to mine. I do not have an insatiable need to fill some existential void in my soul @mdalton Nor do I, but I do enjoy greatly helping people avoid obvious potholes when they’re thrown in ... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton Hmmm. Sure seems like your link to expectation and confirmation bias was targeted at the OP, but whatever. I don’t pick fights, I just respond to the material being given. You have your opinion and I have mine, and thankfully the OP ha... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton So your contention is the OP is just fooling himself, is that it? It’s really sad that you’re unable to hear differences between streamers, but that you keep trying to tell others there’s no difference is tiresome and remains utterly poi... | |
| Solo streamer At last, all components are in perfect sync. Can’t imagine set sounding sweeter. Congrats! And Goodonya for sticking it out despite all the naysayers. Given all the back and forth that went on with @mdalton @mikhailark @lanx0003 and others ... | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation If you’re open to used here’s a pair of Wilson Duettes that were designed to work in compromised placement situations. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335460734652 | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? What I would like to achieve is a little greater 3-dimensionality, a little greater accuracy in those faint sounds (such as a gently struck triangle at the back of the orchestra, better definition of singers in a massed chorus (e.g., Carmina Bura... |
