| Law Of Diminishing Returns? Over the years, I have replaced gear with more expensive gear a number of times and have always gotten a rewarding improvement in sound quality. I always keep the gear being replaced until I'm sure the new gear is a worthwhile upgrade. I'd bet I ... | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. Sounds great. I hope it works out for the guy. It will be interesting to hear how they sound and see what they cost. | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? I’ve never seen that option on preamp tubes! Have you? From Backert Labs, who make only preamps: Our Rhythm, Rhumba Extreme, and Rhumba Xphono preamps automatically and continuously adjust the bias that is applied to your tubes, ensuring corre... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? The easiest way to discern depth if you’re listening to rock or jazz, IMHO, is to listen to the drums and the vocalist or lead instrument. They are often both located in the center of the soundstage and with a little practice you can hear that the... | |
| Ten Years After “Space in Time” 50th Anniversary Re-Mix Oh Yeah, big improvement. I just compared a couple of tracks from the new mix to my old Chrysalis CD. The old Cd sounds dead and two dimensional in comparison. I don't know how the new mix would compare to more recent remasters, but it kicks th... | |
| Ten Years After “Space in Time” 50th Anniversary Re-Mix Great to hear. Thanks for the tip. i've always liked TYA and this album. I can't believe it slipped out with so little fanfare. | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Sorry to hear about your problem with the Node, tee dee. I don’t think I can be much help, though. I had a Node but it set up very easily. Have you downloaded the Bluesound app? Can you run an ethernet cable into the Node? Start a new thread and... | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? Layla Revisited - Live at Lockn' Tedeschi Trucks Band Delivers on the potential of the original Layla. Recorded live, the music and sound are first rate. I Am the Moon Tedeschi Trucks Band Tedeschi Trucks own take on the story of Layl... | |
| Roon Room Correction- Who Has used it? Opinions please! Roon equalization will allow you to adjust frequency ranges up or down, but it has no way of telling you which frequencies to adjust. I don't know of any way to plug a microphone into the Roon software. | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? hickamore, Why not just listen to FM and vinyl if that's what you like? it's unlikely that someone on a forum will come up with the DAC that's going to give you the exact sound you want in your system given all the variables. You'll get a lot of... | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? Something always made me believe that a decent tube preamp could "mellow" or "naturalize" the sound of digital sources. Dgital sources can sound natural and even mellow, if that’s what you want. I prefer just natural and there are many choices ... | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? So, just to further my understanding: assuming price no object, does there exist any DAC, or DAC/Pre combo, capable of making my streamer (or the best streamer in existence, for that matter) sound indistinguishable from an FM radio signal, That... | |
| Downloading question pertaining to HDTracks I haven't downloaded from HDTracks, so take this for what it's worth. They probably let you queue 3 songs so that you can walk away from your computer and keep it busy until you return. | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL Thanks @arafiq for the very helpful information. That's not always easy to get. | |
| Passion, or ..... Precision? Ozzy, Rainbow, Lizzy and my beloved Status Quo etc. Their early material just doesn’t ’cut it’ on a high end system (IMO) and I find it more fatiguing to listen to. Modern technology and attention to detail in the recording studio has really date... |
