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).  
New Tidal Plans and Changes
I received an email stating that I was upgraded to Tidal HiFi Plus at no extra cost. Has anyone else received this?   
Cable Management Tips and Tricks
@bh123 good question that’s never crossed my mind, but interested in the answer as well!I’ve found the practice of cable management to be very zen-like at times.  
Apple Lossless? Do I need Tidal now. Is it better with my Node 2i?
I think tvad is correct in his last post. Listening quality is completely subjective. Recently, some people have been saying that they believe Spotify is more musical than Tidal even though the resolution is lower in Spotify. Other people have sai... 
kingko KA 101 advice for sub
Quick correction, your Kingko actually does have a preout. 
How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11?
Have you thought about iPhone 11 > Apple Lightning to USB > AQ Dragonfly? Dragonfly will be able to decode MQA. I personally utilized this combo when walking - dongle and Dragonfly add a bit to the phone, but not too distracting if you bend ... 
Spotify HiFi
Surprised as well that this hasn’t been implemented yet. Looking at this with a glass-half-full-approach in that they are refining out the quirks for a solid rollout. Somewhat like the Apple approach - not necessarily the first to release a new fe... 
When someone listens to your system for the first time.
Similar experience to pennpencil with my wife not being impressed. As an experiment I placed an Amazon Echo (1st gen) between the speakers and on top of my credenza. Switched between the two channel system and the Echo for roughly half an hour. Sh...
