| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Does the USB cable work on a computer peripheral connect to a computer? Do you have a portable USB drive that you can use to transfer some files from a computer. The computer maybe more informative if an error occurs. I am interested in your take... | |
| Starting my showroom again @oberoniaomnia You are only an hour away from some of the best audio stores in the USA. | |
| Room is way too bright. Digital Room Calibration Services, Convolver, Headphone Filtersets This is done remotely. Your system will sound much better afterwards. This does not require physical acoustic room treatment, though you could use them if it already exists. The g... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 @incorrigable Congrats. I also finally bought the NS5000 and every time play music on it is a revelation. Those 3 drivers are something special. The fact that you bought it from Shelley's says a lot since they have it demoed in the worst possible... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC BTW - the Mola Mola Tambaqui was actually designed around 2005 by Bruno P. I would love to own one if it cost under $3k Bruno mentioned the history of the DAC in an interview on ASR. The Tambaqui DAC was originally the DAC module in the Makua prea... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC Yesterday, I just picked up my Schitt Yggi+ OG after it was sent to Colorado for a high-end audio fest. I wanted the people there to compare top end DACs against the Yggi+ and give me some feedback. This was posted on Head-fi. Another Head-Fi’e... | |
| two channel speaker/equipment consultant You do not need to make a considerable investment to get GREAT traditional speakers. I love my Livingroom box speaker it is one of the best ever made, but I recently heard an open baffle speaker, and I am thinking this is the future of speakers. ... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued "Becoming Led Zeppelin" is coming to IMAX in February 2025. No idea what it is but I want to see it. | |
| Doozy of an amp question Not a MAC fan and heard the Sim 761 the baby brother of the 861. I loved the 761 and found it similar sonically to the Benchmark AHB2 but not as sterile. I love the AHB2 but the 761 was definitely a better version of the AHB2. The 761 is very deta... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? @emergingsoul I listen to about 25% new and the rest oldies. I tend to go by genre or time period. I go on benders where I may listen to soul music from the early 70's or alternative from the 90's. Heavy Metal has also made a surprising comeback a... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) "Maybe I will keep the LA4 and switch back and forth." Great choice. Get another preamp for variety. If your power amp has a front facing switch to toggle between RCA and XLR inputs, then you can even have 2 preamps hooked up at the same time. ... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Congrats on the great purchase. Now you need to not read the forums so that you stay happy wilt your gear. BTW - I spoke with my friend who had my Yggi+ OG for the past month. This guy has incredible hearing, and I am buying his new speaker line... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? I listen M-F at least 15 hours a day so this is a tough one for me too. I use ROON so that helps. I also have an incredibly FM radio station out of Santa Monica, KCRW. I have 3 tuners to listen to them for short bursts since they are an NPR stati... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lalitk When I said work perfectly, I am talking about the sonics, the bit transfer is a given. My streaming is working in the fibre domain and everything before the Rendu does not matter from my experience with the other 2 OpticalRendu's I have. ... |
