| 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. | |
| Female vocalist recommendations I’m an early listener as well. The Breath and their Acoustic album is pretty nice. | |
| Are Cardas Parsec cables Overkill for Zen Stream? I had the Parsec SPDIF and currently have the RCAs. Agree with the majority that's been said on this thread. I can't remember which thread or website that the following was posted, but more or less, the founder (George Cardas) had communicated to ... | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? Corner bass traps had a dramatic effect on the lower end for my environment. Unsure about the look, but sold on the performance they revealed for my system. | |
| Spikes on tower speakers I have thought about using granite or marble. But will the spikes resting on that provide enough stability? I think you could probably use something like this between the spikes and granite: | |
| 2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp? John - correct on the above if I’m reading it correctly. Node > sub out > y-connector (male to two female) > separate RCA runs to each subs’ LFE. Node > RCA R & L output > Amp R & L input Master volume through Node’s var... | |
| 2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp? People can correct me if I’m wrong here, but couldn’t you do a y-connector out from the Node’s subwoofer output with one signal going out to each sub’s LFE in? I know you can select the type of options for the Rythmik sub, and if I remember, the H... | |
| 2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp? I think James was stating that you’d likely want to have left channel information sent to the sub closest to the left speaker and right channel information sent to the right sub. Will you be running a preamp? Streamer direct to amp? Or both? Wha... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson PV-9 Tube preamp Definitely an old thread - nothing wrong with that! I’ve been contemplating going back to cj for a while. You really don’t hear much about cj as of late. I was cruising their website and it looks like they are now selling direct. | |
| Question about Shipping When I talked to Fedex today, they stated that if a product goes missing or damaged, they try to find the same product for sale or something similar and what ever price they come across, that is what they reimburse. This is really interesting... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey I think OP did an excellent job in articulating his journey. Like many have said, multiple paths up the mountain to nirvana. I’m still learning about this hobby, and to some extent, still consider myself a newbie. At an even more basic level, I... | |
| chatGPT identifies concentric driver designs like Ohm Walsh.... ChatGPT is both scary and absolutely fascinating. Its application seems boundless. Lots of discussion within academia in respect to its role and whether it’s considered plagiarism if used by students for their papers - the results stunning; the co... |
