Martin Logan Summit X vs Impression 11A
Thanks for the reply, sleepy.  I'm happy with the Summit Xs.  I just wondered if the room correction might make the not insignificant trouble of buying, selling and shipping a couple sets of MLs worthwhile.I would want to hear a big step up in sou...

If you buy the cd only it's called 1, not 1+, but you have to get the 2015 version for the remixes.

I agree with you cd318 that the original mix should be available and it will be as long as there are cd players around. But if Paul or Ringo (most likely Paul) say, you know, we could make those tunes sound better now, lets have a go at it and see...

The stereo tracks on the cd 1+, released in 2015, are remixed. The first 3 tracks are mono and not remixed.I don’t see the problem with remixing. If you want the original mixes they are available. If you want to hear a different mix, why not? The ...

" To the best of my knowledge Meridian have never published any of their work in a scientific journal."Correct, which makes their data equivalent to the study you referenced, not worth much.willemj, no one is making anyone listen to MQA.  The str... 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
To answer your question, electronics manufacturers partner with Wilson because they think Wilsons will present their electronics in a positive light to many listeners, not all of them. I’m sure Wilson is only one of a number of speakers the electr...

willemj, Since you are a scientific guy, I’m sure you know that double blind tests that have not been published in a peer reviewed journal have zero scientific credibility. I am not a scientist, but I can assure you that that study would not survi... 
Streaming vs traditional
willemj, Do you choose your audio gear and music by the results of double blind tests or by listening? 
Streaming vs traditional
willemj is one of the doubters and there are many of them, but there are also many who have heard MQA and say it is an improvement. Some who have heard it are very excited about it. High-end audio is a subjective pursuit and hard scientific proof ...

The Bluesound Node 2 is a good way to dip your toe into the streaming waters ($500), There’s an Auralic mini at the same price. My experience with the Node 2 is that I love streaming but would like better sound quality.Right now, Tidal streaming M... 
Hope for the blues..
OK tosta, make that the original black ELECTRIC blues masters. Keb Mo', Corey Harris, Chris Thomas King and Gary Clark, Jr.  are second rate bluesmen, and I use that term loosely, who couldn't keep the blues from oblivion if they got weekly TV s...
