| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra (this is not a joke, if you don't know!) Capitol Sessions album - "It Never Entered My Mind." Till Bronner's flugelhorn for tonality. Pat Metheny "Secret Story" cut on album of same name for piano, ... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Bella Maria de Mi Alma (Beautiful Maria of My Soul) by Antonio Banderas. The video might be a little smarmy, and for plot line purposes Armand Asante is shown singing, though it was sung by Antonio Banderas. But one need not speak a word of S... | |
| Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 display for sampling frequency Seasoned, I have a Pre-Box S2 Digital; haven't had that issue. It displays both bit depth and sampling frequency correctly, and the MQA light/colors work too. In fact, it's been about perfect. Actually one of the most unflappable pieces of gear... | |
| WAF -- ... All I ever hear is"You're done" Fuzztone, what are you doing hanging around my wife?!? Don't forget that other gem of brevity and decisiveness, "No more," LOL | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science djones,Great observation, and yes I did see the same - measurements were opposite of expectations or claims. Maybe early product sample not sorted out yet? Got their wires, or software, or labeling crossed? QA problem at the factory? Who knows... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science Erik, I own and enjoy a DAC/headphone amp by Pro-Ject Audio that has taken a unique approach to the "science vs. art," or "measurements vs. sound" conundrum. Unlike the great designers/teams you mentioned, they chose not to decide, sort of. Cue ... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? Devilboy, good for you, and happy listening. I will add, without hesitation, never get a $%^ing cat! | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? Room and WAF dominant factors. Cat plays a roll too. Room 17x12x9. Speakers ~ 14.5 ft from ears, 2 ft from side walls, 1.5 ft from front wall, 7 ft apart. Room is partially open on side walls, eliminating much of 1st reflection point to the s... | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! 5:59pmThe naked look is certainly fine, but, to me, speakers always look better with the girls on.Better yet, combine the two. | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! I just removed the grill from my Cheese Sandwich Model 100 speakers. They are less tonally dark, and softer. | |
| Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i? Another option in your budget is Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra, $850. Very good reviews from HB and Darko.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CX-pZRhbtI https://darko.audio/2019/03/have-your-pi-eat-it-pro-jects-stream-box-s2-ultra/ | |
| Non-rear ported Speakers https://www.ebay.com/itm/Paradigm-Studio-10-v5-pair-in-cherry-w-original-box-nice-used-condition/283...Not this pair, and certainly not on eBay but in your price range. They're small, so convenient for near field, and IMHO possess a detailed soun... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation A different thought, perhaps, with a zero baffle speaker. Many report Spatial M4 Holgram speakers work well in small rooms as they interact less with the room. As low as $2k new with 60 day return policy. I don't own, and haven't heard, but I'... |
