| Any ECM fans here? Just last Friday ECM released 11 of Pat Metheny’s albums remastered in 24/96 hi-res for download or streaming. They are on Qobuz and Tidal. I have streamed several of them on Qobuz and they sound great. I think these are from the same remastering ... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? I think that what Ralph is saying is that doubling power into 4 ohms is only necessary if you drive the amp to its full output. If your amp puts out 150 watts into 8 ohms and 200 into 4 ohms, it will drive your speakers just fine if you only need... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? No politics! You know that won't end well.Unfortunately autospec, honesty has been going out of style for a while. I haven't had as many bad experiences as you, but enough to make me cautious. Don't let those people change you, though. You can... | |
| How do I buy tubes? The guy who wanted his money back probably didn’t like the tubes in his system and used the label as an excuse to return them. I suppose it should be obvious from the pictures, but you could add to the description Made by Siemens, labelled Valvo o... | |
| PS Audio BHK owners In the PS Audio Forums Paul McGowan has stated: Paul CEO PS Audio Sep ’16The BHK preamp has 10dB of gain.If that is the case, that’s a good thing. You want to be able to have the volume turned up some. 40 (out of 100) is a very reasonable level to... | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine Even if you went to see Diana or Sophie live there would most likely be some processing done to their vocals to adjust for the acoustics of the venue. If there's electricity and speakers involved in the sound, it'll be different than what you'd h... | |
| I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell I just can’t believe how some people would flagrantly lie and rig the system. Believe it. There are lots of these people out there and they will do all kinds of things to cheat you out of money and/or goods. The advice above about getting your pl... | |
| Speaker wire isolators - Do they improve SQ? Let us know what you learn. | |
| o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master? so I can't comment on why it's impossible that they would sound better. @tweaknkeep, read my post above. Different source, different mastering. | |
| o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master? Also, every different release does not have a different mastering. So many different releases, even from different countries, can have the same mastering. | |
| o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master? If you talk to people who compare the sound of every different release of various CDs trying to find the best (you’ll find them on the Steve Hoffman Music Forums), what matters is the the tape or the file used and the mastering. CD releases from d... | |

| System- so many questions Is there a way to implement ROON into my system at reasonable cost and complexity that doesn’t introduce more noise pollution? Yes there is, but I don’t know what it is. The answer may be in one of the recent Roon or streaming threads. If not, ju... | |
| System- so many questions While searching through posts on streaming it seems that Chord, Benchmark, Mytek ,RME and others were well represented. I had kind of more or less talked myself into keeping to an R2R DAC Some people swear by R2R DACS other people like sigma delta... | |
| Newbie to the awesome audiophile world Welcome, retsameht01. Different speakers place different demands on an amp, so I would select a pair of speakers first and then decide on an amp that works well with them. I’m not familiar with either of those speakers, so I can’t be much help t... |
