| Amp for Persona B Speakers What amp are you using now? | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Is a high-end digital cable in some cases able to make it a worthwhile investment in a setup which is not top hi-end? A good digital cable is critical and worth exploring and investing in, but how much to invest is very system/budget dependent.... | |
| Bluesound Given Bluesound’s less than stellar track record with updates I’d give it a solid 6 weeks before doing it. There’s no rush, so why risk the headache? | |
| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps In your system I’d first look at a better streamer from Innuos, Aurender, Grimm, etc. The Zenith is really good, but I think there’s a good bit more to potentially be had there. Just my $0.02 FWIW. | |
| Solo streamer The only downside to Aurender is that the dynamic range on some tracks is too good That’s an impressive high-quality problem to have. Sounds like the N200 is giving you some “good trouble.” | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Here are a couple very different versions of “Sound of Silence” — both interesting and compelling I think… https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4?si=Shwc_al5e_JyZLJm https://youtu.be/lyekSI_4Qlc?si=PL88OEBpD0GiMhOA And here’s a Polish female chorus doing ... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? One of the primary ways people learn is from the shared experiences of others. To close one’s mind to such learning opportunities is, well, sad. Amen. The damage the naysayers do here is that they may stop or delay others from even trying diffe... | |
| Solo streamer Mconnect is not available for my iPad. Are you sure? I have an older iPad and have mconnect HD on it. | |
| 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. |
