| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? With Omega, their Instagram page is the most up to date in terms of custom speakers or one-offs that are ready to ship. I usually send an email message and Louis will typically respond with timelines and prices. If I remember, he was pretty busy d... | |
| Tidal Adopting Hi-Res FLAC +1 @romanesq completely agree. I’ve always liked Tidal for their UI, music Discovery, and Connect feature. Win/win for me IMO in respect to this necessary pivot from Tidal. | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? I do streaming with a 5.2 system in an open-concept living room. I was debating the same as well when we had purchased our current residence, especially since I knew I would be putting a two-channel system in another room. We went with on-wall fro... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? +1 @thecarpathian | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @curiousjim Cigarettes After Sex is so incredibly underrated, but has a loyal following. I listen to at least one of their songs on a weekly basis. If I owned a cafe it’d be my go-to cafe music after 6:00 PM. | |
| VINCENT AUDIO Jay Iyagi on YouTube had a nice little rundown on a Vincent integrated hybrid that you may find interesting which you can find here. | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? The BMC Ultradac looks stunning IMO. My excitement is usually drowned out because of irrational anxiety that the purchase is damaged during shipment or DOA. This all began many years ago after receiving a speaker that was literally broken in half ... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? @ozzy I'd be curious to hear what GIK says. That's a great service they provide - it was somewhat of an education to me in terms of the information they provided (and why). | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! @erik_squires yes! Thank you for correcting. If I remember, HSU also has Q Control. | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! I’m sure more knowledgeable people can explain or correct me, but the way I’ve interpreted it via the way it’s employed by a Rythmik sub - high dampening (tightest/cleanest sound), mid, as well as low (looser - perhaps more room filling). With my ... | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! The feedback they receive from new buyers is that the very lowest frequency experience has been diminished with the newer subwoofers because they’re too tight. Some subwoofers on the market allow you to alter the dampening factor - Rythmik’s ... | |
| Spotify HiFi @kiwiscott completely agree with everything you said. The Connect feature utilizing the network and bypassing Bluetooth (for example) while still allowing you to stay in your platform’s app (Tidal/Spotify) is handy and convenient. I also echo your... | |
| Spotify HiFi @rocray @loomisjohnson agree that Spotify has the best UI and library in comparison to all the other streaming services. These two variables (library and UI) are important to my listening habits, which lean more towards music discovery than critic... | |
| Spotify HiFi In case anyone is interested The Verge released the following article a few hours ago, which is interesting and can be found here. Small excerpt: The Verge has recently learned that Spotify HiFi has been ready to go for more than a year. The tech... | |
| Low level listening In my pursuit of low level listening I found Omega Speaker Systems to be a gem. Single driver, no crossover, perhaps paired with a SET. |
