| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Here are a couple of posts from the Steve Hoffman forums. I can’t vouch for their accuracy:1. it appears the CD is a DR average of [8]and the Blu-ray is DR average of [13].The 5.1 is a surround mix, and that in of itself is reason enough for inclu... | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A Second the idea that you need the best electronics you can get with Martin Logans. They are very transparent and you will hear any money spent or not spent upstream. They like power too. | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but on the Steve Hoffman forums and Amazon the early word is that the cd is pretty badly compressed. The 24/96 blu-ray is not. So if you can't play blu-ray you may want to hold off on this one. | |
| drag me into the digital age!! Get the instructions out and follow them step by step and you should be able to get it working. You will probably need to download an app to your phone or tablet to control the Auralic (select your source, Tidal, internet radio, etc. and what you ... | |
| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? I own an Esoteric K-05 and it does not sound analytical to me, it sounds great on cds and SACDs. I understand that you will get more detail with their better players (I haven’t heard them), so that might be what you consider analytical? I’d includ... | |
| Ethics are sliding by members! pigboat, We don’t talk politics here. stevecham was a rare instance of poor judgement. Remain calm, be polite and if someone brings up politics, don’t reply, just report it to the moderators and you’ll be fine here. | |
| Ethics are sliding by members! stevecham, wake up! This is an audio forum. If you want to ruin it, introduce politics. | |
| Do you have a favorite vacuum tube? I have some Amperex 7316s in my preamp now. I had been away for a while and I had forgotten they were in there until this thread made me go check, but I have been thinking that my system is sounding good, so I have to agree with thecarpathian abo... | |
| MFSL CDs: Dumb Questions The MFSL cds are limited edition remasters. The dynamic range was probably not compressed as is done with many regular cd remasters these days. This does not ensure that they will sound better than another release of these cds though. Some MFSL go... | |
| At what point ( min or max value ) does av/preamp output voltage not make a difference? Hi lightfighter,I am not an electronics person at all, but from what I read, the 2 important specs for preamps are output impedance, lower is better and usually only an issue with tube preamps, and gain. A high gain preamp, 20db and up, may caus... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days regarding counting magazine subscriptions, how many doctors offices are in those numbers? Stereophile? I’d guess 0. If they were being found in doctor offices, that would indicate that there is interest among the general public in audiophile gea... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days There used to be a ’Statement of Ownership’ printed in the back of magazines in the November issue that gave circulation numbers for that year. There isn’t one in this year’s Stereophile or TAS so maybe that regulation has been discontinued. Howev... | |
| Problems with Martin Logan ESL speakers accepting a banana plug? I’ve never had a problem using bananas with MLs, but I do own their higher priced line. Don’t try to force connectors if they won’t go with a firm push.If your speaker cables have spade connectors, I’d use those. Most audiophiles feel that you get... | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? The vinyl revival is real but growth in sales year over year is steadily slowing. You will be able to buy new and used vinyl for as long as we are around. Enjoy! | |
| Spotify,Tidal,Qobuz ??? Since an app is used for control, I don't think it would output information to your tv unless your Oppo came Tidal or Spotify ready. Don't bother contacting Tidal for answers they'll just tell you to contact Oppo. |
