| The character of analog and digital I read many years ago and agree and still think it’s true…. “To like digital you have to stop listening to analogue vinyl.” I find the best analogue vinyl sounds much better than digital. the sound is relaxed and has air and ambience. also, m... | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. I’m sure the Best Buy guy also added that the volume control goes to higher number (volume goes to 11 reference😀). Sad that this “information” just propagates and shuts off peoples minds that there is something better. | |
| Looking for wider soundstage A sure way to increase your soundstage in an untreated room is to hang a soft blanket or even a sheet on the wall behind your speakers. Give this a try. If you hear a difference (you will) you can try the side walls at around the 90 deg angle betw... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy My recommendation is as follows: 1) old Mac mini or MacBook Pro with optical out 2) project dac box s2+ 3) ifi elite power supply 4) wire world (or other equal) optical cable I much prefer optical because of low noise (vs usb) but it does l... | |
| Why Do You Post? Idiots trolling and offering no intellectual value is why most people have become dumber. Who knew access to all of the world’s knowledge would make people dumber because people have no idea what knowledge is and are instead amused and give creden... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Cable burn in and electronics burn in is very real if one has decent audio system and actually spends time listening for nuances. it can take several days worth of playing music to achieve the first level of noticeable break in. Things will conti... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade You don’t give much info. new electronics can take several weeks worth of continuous music playing to break in. Until break in completes sound can be thin compressed and lacking in warmth and bass. if you have passed the point of break it ... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? The project dac s2 plus is a really good dac at its price. I own it and added the ifi elite power supply and that was a further huge improvement and lowered the noise floor and removed glare (edgy sound) and added clarity. I recently compared ... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? Back to tweeters…. Best I’ve heard so far are the ribbons on the Quad z-2. As described in Stereophile … as it goes in the wrriteup goes for the smaller lower quad speakers Have heard the quad S-2 that have a smaller version … “were incandes... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? The “objectivists” use is a misnomer here. It suggests these “folks” have “all the facts”. They don’t. There are countless “measurements” missing that we don’t even know about. The joke forums like ASR are full of morons. I have challenged the few... | |
| Analogue from Digital I also see no point now in buying any new vinyl. It’s almost all digitized now and notice the vagueness where most new pressings now never say it’s all analogue. This is because I have found out that the cutting lathes are driven digitally. So eve... | |

| "Power Cords-More Recent" ”We could look at it scientifically. All the power cable needs to do is supply a constant voltage at a single frequency.”this is the engineering view to assume that this is all that is involved (per the memorized formulas). The scientific view wou... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? Most contentious posts involve people with no knowledge or experience posting what they think they know. Best joke these days is who thought access to all the world’s knowledge on the internet would make people stupider. Legit posters here own hig... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable I would recommend spade connectors over banana plugs if your amp and speakers can handle spades. Most banana plugs allow for spin which means there is not a solid connection. But you mention you aren’t able to hear differences in cables so I wonde... |
