| HD Radio vs Analog FM It also depends on the resolution of the music. A local station here has a vastly superior sound on HD compared to the same station in analog. However other HD radio stations here have only slightly better sound. | |
| Ideas for budget audiophiles There are great used deals out there. It is futile to chase the latest craze. It's always just out of reach. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Schubert,I really respect your opinions. I must state that very little music is recorded as live music. My gauge is also live acoustical instruments. But, the vast majority of music is studio recorded with the engineer's idea of what it should sou... | |
| USB A to B Cable to MDC DAC from PC I have to question such a long USB CABLE. The transmission loss could be significant. Most reputable manufacturers are reticent to guarantee perfect transmission beyond 2 meters. Make sure your cable is robust enough. | |
| Computer based system. Need advice on DAC. I would agree with Zd. However it may be more expensive to buy a DAC with a good volume control which is analog. Another idea is to use a simple device from shiit audio that is simply a passive volume control. That would give you the option of a s... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for jazz and rock I also have the REL Q105E and it is amazing. You don't even know it's there until you turn it off. | |
| Need a subwoofer reccomendation..... I think Hsu and SVS have the best value for all around subs for music and movies. REL wins for just music because it is sealed and not ported, fast response to transients, accurate bass for orchestra and acoustic bass, and is virtually silent in t... | |
| Suggestions on DVD/CD player with great sound.... I have an Oppo 103 which is great. The 105 is overkill unless you need the best audio out for two channel and balance out or will upgrade your system soon. The Darbee processing is said to be great but best appreciated on a big screen with very hi... | |
| Receiver I'm still using my Onkyo 805. Bulletproof. Handles every codec except the newest like Atmos. When I upgrade if ever I'm sticking with Onkyo. Make sure you can drive at least 100 W/ch all channels driven. Check out audioholics for recent reviews. I... | |

| Removing components from between the speakers Maybe the OP can simply keep the rack where must be due to cost and wires and simply move the speakers to accommodate it. When Sumiko demonstrated gear at audio shows they were stuck with horrible hotel rooms. The Master Set method of speaker plac... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 with proper solid stands. | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? I'm a big fan of BJC and have many pairs. I have long runs of ICs for the subwoofers, phono and surround. Money well spent. I have a preference for Signal Cable ICs though and have many pairs as well with Eichman RCA terminations. Also a bargain. ... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers I prefer to not have the electronics or rack between the speakers. I hear a wider deeper and taller soundstage. I prefer long ICs and short speaker cables. I believe in what Mr. Smith says. The exception is I use the Sumiko Master Set Method for s... | |
| how to wire up speakers ...?? Thanks for the Vandersteen link. Very helpful. Well stated and very logical. |
