| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. I don’t know about that, erik. We’ve got two new MQA threads today. | |
| Tidal class-action We get that you don't like MQA, @audioisnobiggie , but why get so excited about who is going to sue whom? None of us will ever see any money from any lawsuit. Calm down a little. | |
| Big orchestral sound in pop, rock etc. The Tedeschi Trucks Band - Especially one they did a couple of years ago - Layla Revisited - Live at Lockn’. Start there and then explore other’s they’ve done. I think you’ll like them. They are the keepers of the flame for the big rock band. | |
| Problem with Roon No, unfortunately. I experience quirks like that from time to time, but I don’t have any advice other than to check the roon forums. | |
| 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 ... |
