| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette I have heard both models but in totally different systems, different rooms, different times. It's tough to draw solid conclusions from that type of listening, but I think you are generally right with your research about polite versus lively. I w... | |
| Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System? @sudnh The newish Marantz Cinema line is surprisingly good. I think it's a step up from their prior models and to my ears also better than any recent Denon models I've heard. I've been a big fan of Anthem for years but had two units die on me in t... | |
| I2S Recommendation I now have a good amount of hours on my Veritas Optimus 100 I2S cable. Using it between a Denafrips Gaia and a Denafrips Terminator 2 in a headphone rig that I am still building, so rotating out amps and headphones to figure out what I like most. ... | |
| Apple Music on iOS 26 @soix What has been your main issues with Apple Music? I mostly switch between Qobuz and Tidal but I do have Apple Music also, don't use it much but it didn't seem terrible to me. @4afsanakhan As far as I know you are correct, only Eversolo does... | |
| What are your thoughts on Raidho? Nice, those QLN speakers look great. And I like what you said about matching your room, your gear, and your listening habits. Those contribute so much to whether or not a speaker is a better fit for you. Probably more than just raw potential any s... | |
| Upgrade PSB Synchrony One B to Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus? Agree with everyone above. Those Sonus Fabers are really nice for certain genres, but probably not what you listen to. I'd skip them. So many other great choices in that price range to choose from. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I take "gambles" all the time on stuff I've never heard. A lot of it had good reviews already (Denafrips, Sonnet, Holo Audio) but just doesn't have a local physical dealer to demo in person. All of those purchases turned out to be enjoyable. Other... | |
| Who is Liable with Defective Unit I would say the seller is liable. Even if it worked fine when packed and shipped out, it apparently did not arrive in working condition. That means something likely went wrong during the trip, which no doubt subjected the device to more physical s... | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? Good choice with the Shanling ET3. That's a nice unit which should give many years of trouble free music enjoyment. I love classic disc spinners as much as the next audiophile but the reliability aspect is nowhere near that of a new device like yo... | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... I like the Eversolo A6. Some people around here seem to not care for Eversolo based on issues they have had. Some of them will likely chime in soon enough. My A6 and A8 have both been pretty much flawless so I’ve got no complaints. The A6 satisf... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found So far I've got maybe 50 hours on the Optimus 100 I2S cable (left it playing non stop since receiving it earlier in the week). Had a listen again today to see how it is shaping up, and it is sounding brilliant in my headphone rig. Seems like it co... | |
| Mid Fi streaming question. Another vote for power conditioner or similar device. Just make sure it's something substantial rather than the "fancy power strip" type which doesn't really do much. I've had good luck over the years with balanced power units such as EquiTech, ... | |
| Moon, Simaudio Service I used to own a 430HA, nice headphone amp. I always wondered if that little sliding piece could be a problem down the road. It is well built and I did like the way it covers the unused headphone jacks, but still. It's always nice to hear when a c... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @jackd Thank you. I am tempted even though I really should just be done with it. Comparing about 10 different I2S cables (maybe more) over a few months really isn't my idea of fun. Still tempted though so what does that say about me? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @jackd Thanks, now I am tempted to try a Ricable I2S as well. We'll see. Which one do you use specifically? Your setup sounds like mine though, Veritas stuff taking over everywhere. I still need to get the speaker cables at some point. @audiosti... |
