| Location of compoments. It is preferable not to have racks between the speakers - mainly on account of diffraction. However provided the rack is even a little behind the plane of the speakers, it's not an absolute disaster. Sometimes, as in my own case, there is simply n... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Shunyata mains distributors - one Everest for the digital side and one Typhon T30 and Denali for the analogue side. It delivered major improvements in dynamics, spatial resolution and that elusive "it sounds real" quality. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000, large scale statistical tests of audio differences are extremely difficult to organise and audio manufacturers are not pharmaceutical companies whose budgets and regulatory environment require them. I'm not sure of you are drawing inf... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" A lot of the Messiah is eschatological. For example - "though the worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see god" (I know that my Redeemer liveth). The government shall be upon his shoulders makes sense in that context. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Thanks for the various comments. A couple more observations, if I may. As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to engineering, if it doesn't contradict the laws of physics, anything is possible. Secondly, when it comes to measurements, there are is... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Objectivists say - theory says it doesn't matter, so it can't matter. Empiricists say, observation tells me it does matter. Technically informed empiricists then attempt to find out why, at a theoretical level, it does matter. The latter is how th... | |
| IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST @Panzrwagn - that analysis is based on the frequency domain. The time domain is also important. | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? Forget about listening to megabuck system at shows. It's not representative of what those systems can achieve in a more controlled environment. | |

| Stack Audio Smooth Lan Issue @OP Is the Bryston throwing up any error messages? Have you connected the Smooth Lan according to the sequence indicated by Stack? Upnp issue - The BDP-3 can implement all 3 major functions common to the uPnP and DLNA standard. They are disabled... | |
| Analog invites you to turn up the volume @OP - very nice system. Differences in tonal balance between different sources may become greater at different listening levels. Perhaps the analogue source sounds smoother than the digital - that will be more apparent as the volume level goes up.... | |
| Faint buzz in speakers @giantsalami - loose connections of all kinds can be major culprits in buzzes and noises. That incudes the breaker box where vibration can loosen the connections. WARNING to all - do not go sticking screwdrivers into your breaker box - get an elec... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? About 16 bars is usually enough for me to know whether I want to listen further. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @OP Chet Baker, Paul Desmond. And though some people hate CTI recordings, a lot of Wes Montgomery's CTI recordings are very listenable. And speaking of Wes Montgomery, Lee Ritenour's Wes Bound is an outstanding recording - in the quality of its en... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? @OP GHD Prentice's post sums up the amplifiers very well. I would also add that if you like your Harbeths, then you will like the Pass. However, if you predominantly listen to rock music or large scale classical, and depending on your room size an... |
