| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? Are you looking for acoustic treatment advice, cabling advice including power conditioner and pc, or component/source advice? | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? I’m guessing that you have dealers where you can audition speakers. Likely, you are looking for the hidden gems, great value finds not usually found locally. I went the dealer route and bought the Sabrina X, which Wilson claims that it has a well ... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? @tubeguy76 Why did you choose this wire? | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers Great review, impressive speakers and a beautiful room. You have an incredible assembly of components. Thanks Juan.. | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems I don’t know the answer, but the first thing I thought of when reading your post was the album Friday Night in San Francisco. Now, that isn’t responsive to your question, but the reason that I thought of this album was that when I first heard this... | |
| Anyone Using Apple Music Classical? I’m able to stream “lossless” to my Anthem 70, but Atmos programs seem to revert to two channel and I can also use Airplay to stream to my Aurender N20. Will have to find some time to compare to Quboz, but I suspect internally integrated service w... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? Perhaps AXPONA would be worth the time/expense. | |
| Speaker Cable Recomendations Maybe the first question is with regards to allocation of funds. How much for power vs analog interconnects vs digital interconnects vs speaker cable. I put the most money into power and the least into speaker cables. My approach was simple, Shun... | |
| Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality Assuming that Apple Music is setup properly and volume equalized, the only conclusion that I can make is the obvious, Apple doesn’t always deliver the claimed bitrate and/or storage/stream integrity. | |
| Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality Since Apple Music is a paid service, I would start a support ticket. I only use Apple Music with Bluetooth EarPods and no lossless via Bluetooth. It seems that my Sony/Google TV suggest Fart Music app, but doesn’t allow Apple Music. | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? @drlou77 I think that my suggestion was a bit obscure and definitely costly. You haven’t posted your system under your profile, so this post might be unnecessary. I’m suggesting that you use a very high quality streamer like an Aurender N-20 a... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? @drlou77 Why not make sure that SQ is the same, or better with ripped and streamed music? This and your raid + cloud backup should make physical media redundant, except for SACD albums that aren’t available as high resolution files. | |
| OMG Moment @audphile1 Nice listening room & equipment. I’ve yet to do so, but I’m guessing that lowering the rear spikes will help to positively modify the sound in my room. I went back to look at some Sabrina X reviews and came upon this one: Part-... | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ I use Qobuz for home streaming, but recently started an Apple Music trial. I don’t believe that Aurender’s Conductor will stream Apple Music. I’ve been using Apple in the car, while working out and walking the dog. I don’t drive much, but other us... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? I don’t listen “deep into music”, I just listen to music. Some recordings have a three dimensional presentation that seems to fill the room in all directions. Look to your room acoustics to help with this and then just relax and enjoy the music.... |
