| 2024 Audio System Wish List Currently on the waitlist for a Decware ZRock3 which will be placed between DAC and integrated- hoping for arrival by April/May. I’m also really interested in the Fibbre USB Optical digital cable between my streamer and DAC - still trying to do my... | |
| Virtual Systems I’ll try: Audiogon main page > three hashtags top right corner > click on your user name or picture (if you have one) > drops down and click My Virtual Systems > next to your system click on the Actions which will allow you to click o... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Anything but popular songs... Guess why ? Not always, though. I really appreciate the following mainstream songs that sound pretty darn good: Your Power by Billie Eilish Billie Bossa Nova by Billie Eilish Exile by Taylor Swift & Bon I... | |
| Look at these beauties I’ve been doing my research on these cables and they look legit. I’m actually not too worried that the listing includes no actual picture - if they have a few scratches no one will notice. Regardless, I made an offer of $7,499.27. Guess we’ll see ... | |
| Can’t find my product in blue book value listing HiFi Shark is such a wonderful website. Not only is it helpful for a buyer, but also for a seller in determining an amount to list their component. I also appreciate how you can be notified of new listings for components you’re interested in as a ... | |
| Anyone with Aric Audio experience? In respect to the Transcend Push Pull amp, as well as Jazbobobs recent review, and all the other previous comments about Aric Audio. I must say, the Push Pull amp is something else when using EL34s in triode mode with no feedback. This amp can def... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz That’s what I’m doing while having the Roon lifetime subscription: Tidal HiFi (regular) CD Quality at $10.99 for their 100 million tracks. Qoboz Studio (Hi-Res) at $10.82 for their 424,000 Hi-Res tracks. vs Tidal Hi-Fi Plus at $19.99 for their ... | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz Was it Soundiiz? | |
| ROON Radio I think you are correct from this little experiment. I did a little digging and from my understanding Roon Radio is source (album) dependent - not user hx dependent. Roon Daily Mixes seems to be more complex and data driven from your usage hx. R... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @blisshifi very informative. Thank you for sharing! | |
| ROON Radio I’ve had similar questions about Roon Radio as well. Earlier this morning I played the same album (skipped a few songs). Roon Radio essentially gave me the same recommendations but not in the same order - there were two artists that it had recomme... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @blisshifi I have experimented with this countless times, and I have found only a few DACs under $15K with a built-in preamp stage or volume control that sound better without a quality preamp in the chain. If my memory is correct you’ve menti... | |
| Dirac vertical mic placement I don’t have any experience with that Arcam, but I do have previous experience with a NAD that used DIRAC. I actually found decent results with the DIRAC mic (and later UMIK) taped and used/slotted (UMIK) to a mic stand. The mic stand provided bet... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @jacobsdad2000 thank you for that. Totally agree/understand - and soon users of Aurender may be able to use Roon as well. And I think that was the theme I was trying to communicate - Roon and its users’ playlists, album tags, and history being ab... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @jacobsdad2000 I haven’t experienced the Innuos Sense UI, but I hear it rivals Roon which says quite a lot IMO. The stickler for me is that you’re somewhat “trapped” in that ecosystem as the UI and playlists can’t naturally be transferred to anot... |
