| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet I wouldn’t consider myself an experienced HiFi enthusiast, but I usually pass when I see sellers request PayPal Friends and Family only. When you do this as a buyer, you’re losing out on all of the purchaser protections that PayPal provides - I fe... | |
| ROON? Roon is definitely a pricey proposition versus utilizing native Connect methods that Tidal and Spotify use - if you have a compatible streamer. Quboz doesn’t offer a Connect feature that bypasses Bluetooth and allows you to stay in the app, and be... | |
| Roon Muse I don’t think it’s rebranding since it was never offered on Roon ARC to begin with. Up until now you weren’t able to equalize on Roon ARC (mobile); unlike Roon for the home environment. I tried doing while driving a stick (very difficult - swervin... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @ghasley So you are denouncing God ? A simple yes are no will suffice... Regardless of the answer it shouldn't matter in an audio forum of all places. Plus, who are you to even ask? The Internet is vast and I'm completely lost as to why you cho... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops I must apologize for I do agree this fine forum isn't the place to discuss politics or religion. Yet here you are discussing politics and religion… | |
| Virtual systems, finding my favorites Try going back to the Virtual Systems Page and then from here: - Click on the three lines in a box in top right corner - Click on your user profile (emerginsoul) - This will drop down and allow you to click on “View Profile” - Click on the “Fa... | |
| Spotify HiFi To those who care, news dropped this morning. Looking through some of the articles there were a few key points: - Internally named "Supremium." - Whether high-fidelity is beyond CD-quality is still a mystery (my bet is on CD-quality). - Most... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? When do we reach Hi-Fi status for speakers??? I think it may be easier to quantify “high-end” by price vs high-fidelity, which may be varied by subjective experiences. Experiencing a Decware Zen Triode mated with some single-driver Omegas ma... | |
| Streamer upgrade - best path forward Excellent choice, OP. I would be curious to know your experience. I almost forgot about the offering provided by SGC in lieu of recently purchasing their basic FMC bundle. Is my assumption correct that you’ll be using Roon - I know that wasn’t bin... | |
| Is it worth replacing a Lumin D2 with an Eversolo dmp-a6 Master Edition? Oof, that subreddit is pretty much an extension of AmR (aka ASR) and consists of a somewhat younger crowd of HiFi saviors. To each their own, but agree - there may be more to it than “bits are bits.” | |
| Streamer upgrade - best path forward OP, I’d be curious to know which direction you go with this since I’m in the same boat as you (NAD C658 + DIRAC full spectrum). My experiences and observations mirror yours in respect to the C658. My timeline to make the next jump is a little long... | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? Reference track suggestions: On by LA Priest from their Fase Luna album. It’s a little psychedelic which is reflective within the soundstage. Aht Uh Mi Hed by Rahill from Sun Songs. Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa from his Wandering album, but I think... | |
| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? Rural parts of Arizona for me. Sold a HSU subwoofer that barely fit in my old Jetta to an odd fellow who didn’t say more than two words. Sold a Sunfire Cinema Grand Architecture Series to a guy who said he was $300 short of the agreed upon price o... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. Zu Audio Dirty Weekend X I have no personal experience with the following suggestion, but was looking at these speakers for a similar situation as yours within our office. My thought was to put them sideways within on our bookcase. HSU CCB-8s | |
| Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine I doubt this will be your answer but I was dealing with some noise issues that seemed to be related to my cheap switch. Some of this was mitigated by wrapping my switch with the following tape: Faraday Fabric Tape 2inch x 50... https://www.amazon... |
