Amazon HD Lower Price
What Apple is doing is readily available and has been used by people mixing with headphones for quite a long time. Some of it is really quite good too. Amazon already announced support for Atmos and other spatial audio formats. 
Clocker value on a network player?
This is audiophile land. Assume misinformation is rife in almost all cases.You don't need a precision clock in audio. You need a clock with low jitter over a period of time about about 2-5 times the lowest frequency, or out 0.1 - 0.25 seconds.Why ... 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
Today it's estimated to be doubling at around 18 months or less. ****************This is what happens when people take information out of context and equate it with general knowledge. Did you know that this was also said, "According to IBM, the bu... 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
hilde45,Did you run your mains full range or with a cut-off?  Are you running room correction?   If so, the mains may have been driven less hard with the subs reducing distortion. 
Where are the young audiophiles?
daledeee1, that is true to a point, but a lot of that is because the supply chains are broken. 
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
You can listen to someone like who can't provide any justification for a statement like "use low capacitance cables for high efficiency speakers", be taken in, lose your money, or you can accept some basic realities. The efficiency of a speaker ha...

Look at all that chest puffing, but not an argument among the four of you. That is rather telling. 
So done with audiophile fuses
You continue to amaze, astonish, and sadden me with your willingness to argue about a critical safety issue with which you have no knowledge. While in the US, an NRTL test is not technically required, in much of the world, an equivalent is require... 
Biggest audio hoaxes
This is a good time to use common sense. IF you believe your concrete floor is resonating, do you really think that the transference of those vibrations to the speaker is going to create more sound than what is already in the room?Your speaker is ... 
Biggest audio hoaxes
The speaker is going to move on its own due to mechanical force of the drivers if not opposed dual mounting. Locking into the concrete will reduce that movement. Thanks for posting another hoax. 
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
There is no reason for low capacitance for high efficiency speakers. Low capacitance only matters for speaker cables if your amp has stability issues and possibly high damping factor. Most low capacitance cables are high inductance and can roll of... 
So done with audiophile fuses
Jhills, safety requirements for most equipment includes a fuse or equivalent unless there in innate current limiting. We are talking things like UL. That fuse is to protect the cord from overheating. The equipment if safety approved or at least de... 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?
How do you know?You spend $50-100 on a microphone and spend an hour learning to use REW. Anything else is just guessing. Best part is it will help you to optimize what you have and if you get subs, it will help with that too. Anyone tuning by ear ... 
Biggest audio hoaxes
+2 djones51.   There is definitely a concerted effort to spread false information. It is similar to other industries which have been repeatedly debunked, but they still continue, many whose sales far exceed this little corner of the debunked world... 
So done with audiophile fuses
The job of a safety fuse in a component is to protect the cord that is connected to that unit in case there is a serious short in the unit.  Additional fuses may be added to protect the component itself.  Where safety items are being discussed, it...
