| Qobuz Issues? I haven't had an issue. I always accept the updates. I've had a couple of them within the last week but no problem with the service. I had a monster listening session last night and another nice one tonight! | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Power cords can also make a huge difference... The best interconnects I've heard are authentic Cardas Clear. | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection I started back up from scratch almost five years ago. The first album I bought was Led Zeppelin II, then I bought Miles Davis Kind of Blue. I'm up to about 145 albums now, all of them VG+ or better and killer pressings. I've upgraded the Zep II to... | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. I put the HC Dragon power cable on my preamp and absolutely love it! I borrowed one for a month and took it off for several months. I realized the rig didn't sound as great without it so I bought one. I'm very satisfied. | |
| Review: Dynaco Mark IV Amplifier I'm currently using a pair of borrowed MK4's. The sonics are pleasing. I am grateful to have music during this period of uncertainty regarding my reference monos being repaired. The Dynaco MK4's have been doing an adequate job of powering my 4 ohm... | |
| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? NAD most definitely is mid as well as your speakers. Like others who’ve commented, HiFi requires spending 50k plus for a separates component type system. But who cares about the label? Why are you asking anyway? If you love your stereo and sonics ... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @soix, Yes, I’m going to learn Fool In The Rain! I dig all of the videos that can help! One artist I love to watch is Gina Knight. She’s really good and a total babe! I played in the adult pit orchestra last March for the HS production of Chitty ... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain Great topic! I'd like to lean to play the shuffle! Lately I worked on the groove from the catchy tune in the movie Whiplash. It's a lot of fun! | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero @cd318, Spot on comments by @mheinze! Magico speakers are so amazing if everything upstream is worthy of them. The problem may be that some people stretch to obtain Magico but find out that they may not match that well with their existing compon... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero High end audio can be tricky. I got in over my head when I bought Magico A3 speakers. I ended up going through a couple of amps: Yamaha A-S3000 and Prima Luna EVO400. I still wasn’t satisfied with the sonics and didn’t want to keep throwing darts ... | |
| Quadratic Diffusers I'm going to build a diffuser. I think it's going to be a space coupler. A skyline would look cool but my listening position is close to the back wall and I've heard that skyline diffusers need at least several feet between the wall and listening ... | |
| My first tube integrated: which one to get? I'd go with a PrimaLuna. They fit into your budget and have a lot of great features. | |
| Solid state to tube I too was a SS guy for decades. Then a buddy brought over a tube integrated for me to try. I knew in the first few seconds that the sonics killed my Yamaha A-S3000 integrated. I thought the Yamaha was the last amp I was ever going to buy. The amo... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's a case by case situation based on the vibe I'm getting from them at the time. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps I had SS for decades. Then a buddy brought over a tube amp for me to try in the rig. The difference was like night and day. Even my wife, who really doesn’t care that much, commented on how much better the tube amp sounded. The last couple of yea... |
