| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? A blind analog/digital test recently came to light which caused a great deal of consternation among the analog contingent of our hobby and brought doubt.to some of their claims of what they can hear. It was recently discovered that MoFi Labs had ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Get real. Climate change is everyone's problem. @hilde45 You're going to have to get rid of those tube amps if you want to start preaching climate change. Class A amps are way too small in number to have any impact on climate. +1 jerryg123 | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Yeah, but how are tubes going to work in your powered speakers? | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound Though again, it wasn’t doing that say, 3-4 months ago or thereabouts, so I’m still convinced that Qobuz did do something to enable the capability @hankeson, You know computers have a mind of their own at times. It’s hard to explain why they do... | |
| The Audio Critic A few years ago, Michael Fremer agreed to a cable challenge as long as the test would be done in his listening room, which sounds like a reasonable condition to me. The cable manufacturer backed down that time. | |
| What is this Beatles UHQR Collection? The pictures you gave the links for look like some kind of bootlegs. Analogue Productions call their premium albums UHQR, I think. If you want to find out about every Beatles album that was ever released or reissued, google Steve Hoffman Music F... | |
| A heartfelt thank you to AudiogoN and members.... Glad to hear we're helping your state of mind, @jusam. The world can get a little crazy and we all need a break from it. Hope this site stays as peaceful as it's been lately. | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound But beginning a couple/few months ago, even the lowest end recordings appear to be playing at 44.1 x 4 (176.4 kHz). @hankeson, Does your DAC have upsampling capabilities? If yes, see if it was set to upsample to 176.4 somehow. I stream Qobuz ... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System My guess is with the poor room/setup camp. I'm sure these components can sound superb in the right place/setup. Your experience does reinforce the idea that paying more doesn't guarantee better sound. | |
| Has new music gone down the tubes? I think music is spoonfed more now than ever. Everyone listens to music on their phones and everyone can be alerted instantly when there is a new hit on tik-tok or wherever. Another difference between now and when the boomers were young is that ... | |
| Has new music gone down the tubes? Remember there was a period of stagnation in pop music between the initial burst of rock n roll and the Beatles, so all is not lost. When the Beatles and the 60s in general hit, the people running the record labels had no idea what to think, so th... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? Do you stream Qobuz or Tidal? The problem with recommending jazz is the variety, even if we’re talking about a single musician’s work. I use roon with Qobuz to explore music. It provides a lot of recommendations based on what I’ve listened to. If... | |
| Advice on a tube tester If you want something more modern that doesn’t use 1950s technology and was probably made in the 50s, check out these people: www.maximatcher.com You’ll need separate testers for power and preamp tubes, which may give you more accurate ... | |
| The character of analog and digital Hi @brianaus, It seems that you are full of generalizations today, and while generalizations may have truth in them, they’re usually not very useful. You like vinyl. Great. I have no problem with people who prefer vinyl or listen to vinyl exclusi... | |
