| Library disappointment? I’ve had the same experience attempting to transfer my ambient/electronic genre-heavy playlists from Spotify to Qobuz. Between 60-70% would transfer using Soundiiz. Tidal has a greater hit rate between 85%-95% depending on the artists and how deep... | |
| Preserving Deezer Hi-Fi Quality with Node Unsure where the lag stems from - whether from BluOS, Deezer app, or AirPlay. What I can say, is that this issue was experienced within my similar configuration approximately 1.5 years ago regardless of the multiple BluOS updates and hardware (Nod... | |
| Preserving Deezer Hi-Fi Quality with Node I also experienced the lag with the Deezer app via Airplay to both Node and later NAD C658 which both use BluOS. Going through BluOS, it was much more responsive with no lag. The problem is that I liked the Deezer app so much more than the BluOS a... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) To help mitigate the feelings of being overwhelmed, I think the first priority would be to find out which kind of speaker you enjoy the most - horn, concentric, ribbon, dipole, single full range driver. I wish someone would have communicated this ... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates @brylandgoodman you had commented that "Line Magnetic I find fascinating but I worry they aren’t a great amp to run for as many hours as I’d be using them. I could be wrong though." I've had some interest in Line Magnetic for a while, but never h... | |
| A different world @edcyn I was at a Tower Records in Oahu near Waikiki. Looking back on it, my time at Tower was one of the better jobs I've had. I learned a lot, especially from the older staff that helped me explore genres I would have never thought I'd enjoy. To... | |
| A different world I'm a sucker as well. And totally agree with the comment that I/you/us could have never predicted this as a possibility ten years ago, especially when I was working at Tower Records in college. I've always been music first, equipment second, with ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Informative thread. Two weeks ago I stopped at Arizona Hi-Fi. They had a pair of the Devore O/96s set aside in their listening room. They were definitely something to be seen, and the first speaker my wife actually had questions about. Didn't have... | |
| Spotify HiFi Still waiting for Spotify, but saw the following from Reddit. Whether this is true, who knows, but I'll continue to be hopeful... Important to note that changing the quality of the music at any price point changes their deals with international p... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers The price and the reviews outside of AG for the RSL Speedwoofer have always intrigued me. For HT I’d definitely try, but I haven’t seen too many reviews for them being musical. Regardless, I’d love to hear a review from someone who uses them in st... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? I can't speak to analog since I'm strictly streaming, but I'm familiar with DSP (DIRAC) within my 2-channel system. I can't remember where I read it recently, but it was something along the lines of room "correction" should actually be called room... | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Spent the past 10 minutes trying to figure out how to be notified of a member’s post, but no dice. Tubebuffer would be at the top of the list. Best thing on Audiogon since sliced bread. | |
| The Decware Pill - Any Experiences? You guys swayed me so much that I went ahead and purchased six of them - two of which I’ll give to Goodwill as a holiday gesture. | |
| Canare 4s11 how good are they ? I've had Canare 4S11 through BJC for more than, gosh, 8 years maybe? They've been in and out of the system depending on preference or just to change things up. On my system, they present a little thicker in the midrange, but have just as smooth hi... | |
| New Tidal Plans and Changes @lg1 I'd have concern as well - it's a little fishy. No login required (just checked my email from Tidal). |
