| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Many thanks to the OP and all the respondents. Threads like this are a great source of music recommendations. I will listen to them all eventually. Many I would never have stumbled on by myself. Best wishes. | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal What Harmon/Samsung bring to the table are financial and marketing resources, and that is precisely what the small, innovative companies lack. It's a tough slog for the small entrepreneur, with cash flow always threatening to end the dream. A ro... | |
| Most recent concert Saw Kraftwerk at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago on Saturday. What a disappointment. The volume was simply too loud. The bass was physically oppressive and muddy. The highs caused me to wince. It was not possible to discern details at any... | |
| Most recent concert Going to a Kraftwerk show tonight in Chicago. A year ago saw the Eagles fronted by Steely Dan. Awesome night! | |
| Surge protectors--how many $ make sense? Surge protection. I'd stay away from urge protection! | |
| Surge protectors--how many $ make sense? OP - Since you have the Shunyata on trial why not pick up a Furman 20i that can be returned and compare them? Might save yourself some significant change. +1 on the whole-house urge protection. It's a no-brainer at a few hundred dollars install... | |
| Streamer apps critical +1 on the importance of ui/software in a streamer. I went from a Node to a miniDSP SHD with Volumio. Hardware was fine but Volumio was a horrible experience. I even stopped listening to music. My wife actually encouraged me to buy a new stream... | |
| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi I will add my 2cents even though I know little about the inside of this industry. I am a successful entrepreneur and have experience in venture capital, though. I encourage you to follow your passion, but with some hard-stop cavea... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 I might add that Andrew did a phenomenal job packing up the pair of LS3/6 that I bought. Jeff Stake was a pleasure to do business with, too. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? OP - I, too, was prepared to climb the upgrade ladder on streamers but have creased, at least for the time being. I went from a Bluesound Node 2i using its DAC, to using the Node 2i as a streamer but a Cambridge CXA81 DAC, to a miniDSP SHD stream... | |
| Weak link +1 for Bacch4Mac, but Edgar (the inventor) will tell you that you absolutely need to treat the first reflection points. Best of luck. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @OP - You might want to give some thought to an alternative option, namely Theoretica's Bacch4Mac sound processing system. It is The Absolute Sound 's 2024 product of the year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xq48klNJ8i0 Here is Steve Guttenberg'... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move OP - I'd like to respectfully suggest that before you traded in your Klipsch speakers you consider another solution for your desired "scale in presentation." I have had the Theoretica Bacch4Mac application for spacial realism and the Bacch ORC fo... | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? At Axpona '23 and '24 the larger floor-standing Tannoy's were stand-outs. I could have listened to them all day. Best of luck. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp I had Ric Schultz mod my GaN1 and it sounds terrific, but if I had to sell it I wouldn't recover any of the $500 the mod cost. It's a risk. |
