| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I think it's more about the quality control of the product rather than the fact it's made in China. I own a Holo Audio May and Serene KTE and the build quality and quality of parts is amazing. Smart companies having products made in China supervis... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? I listen to Tidal with only initial unfolding and it sounds fine to me. I also had Qobuz for a few months and compared them both and finally decided on Tidal. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the two. Honestly, I think much of the hate... | |
| Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires I have 3 of TWL Power cables and they are very nicely made and would recommend them. Haven't tried any of their other cables yet. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I do too but with that being said I find the majority of audiophiles very intolerant and annoying, myself included. | |
| Open Baffle Experience @jayctoy I also heard their speakers at AXPONA 2022 and they also sounded off to me. They were using LTA electronics so I'm unsure of what the problem was. Another speaker company I was interested in was Pure Audio Project. Has anyone heard these? | |
| Streamer Recommendation. Definitely auralic. | |
| AXPONA 2023 I stayed at the Hyatt this year when I went and even used award points and it was fine. They even had the shuttle buses that take you to the event. I'm with you and usually like to stay at the show's Host hotel but these prices are just crazy! | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? Why don't you renew at discount mags? So much cheaper than the prices directly from Stereophile. I've been doing it for years. Wait for their sales and you can get a 2-year renewal for almost nothing! | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Let me ask you a question. Under what circumstances have you tried streaming from your PC? What DAC and how did you do it? Please be specific. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I also subscribe to Stereophile and have not seen a review on the Audio GD R-7HE. Also, an R2R DAC cannot do DSD by itself. My Audio Holo May R2R DAC has a Separate built in DAC just for DSD processing. | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Excellent sounding streaming can be achieved with your PC in the right circumstances. If using USB, make sure your DAC has a good USB implementation and has Galvanic isolation. I’m streaming through Roon and Tidal/Qobuz and upsampling PCM as High ... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. I actually like Ron from NRD and have been watching him for a long time. I have yet to find ANY Audio Reviewer that I really like, and arrogance seems to be a COMMON TRAIT amongst all audiophiles, even in these forums. | |
| Triode Wire Labs Own 3 of their current model power cables. Good company! | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon by itself does nothing for sound quality versus streaming direct to say Qobuz or Tidal. If you have lots of music to organize it could be helpful. I use it to stream directly to HqPlayer so I can upsample everything to DSD. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I subscribe to Stereophile, I prefer them over TAS by far. |
