| Speakers or room I have the LS50 not the LS50W so my take may not be correct. My LS50’s are in my small treated (with GIK panels) room, 12x11x9 and it sounds great, but without good bass. It is easy to see why the former editor of Stereophile uses them as his refe... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying @grahamsphillips Your 20 year old Bryston will sound a little more bright than the latest cubed series from Bryston. @rossb Thanks for the post. I was wondering how the Chord stacks up against the Lumin. That Fiber optic input is enticing.I want t... | |
| Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD @martin-anderson Read some of the comments by @mitchco and read some of his articles posted on the site. I just bought his book on setting up DSP via convolution files. I hope to get back into reading it once my job stuff is under control. He also... | |
| Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD I am looking into Convolution files inserted into my ROON server to do DSP. You measure the room and then use some software to fit a few established performance curves. One curve for each file. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/bits-and-bytes/a-new... | |

| What are your top three live concerts of all time? @edcyn The Bob Marley at the Roxy disc is one that I have to listen to once a month. Just a fantastic show. I can only imagine how you must have felt to actually see that show live.1. Rush In Toronto 2. Pearl Jam in San Francisco3. Santana in Toronto | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? If you are not using something soft further downstream from a Benchmark DAC1 then you may find it a little fatiguing. I have owned DAC1, DAC2, and DAC3. I would suggest a used DAC2. If you do not need a volume control in your DAC then Benchmark ha... | |
| Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables. but then again a long run of preamp to amp cables would be pretty pricy as well. Not true. I am going to run long interconnects (maybe 20-30 feet) and I do not expect to spend too much, somewhere from $100 - $500. I also do not expect to suffer i... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs The TAD ME1 monitor maybe better on the mids and highs than the Salon. I owned Salon1 for a long time and I actually prefer my KEF LS50s over the mids and highs on the Salon1. I understand the Salon2 has the BE driver but I am not a huge fan of th... | |

| Dynaudio Contour 30 vs. Focal Kanta No. 2 speaker Kanta 2 are supposed to be OK even in a room as small as 11x13. https://www.tonepublications.com/review/focals-kanta-no-2-speakers/ | |
| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 I had Benchmark DAC2 and DAC3. I should not have upgraded to the DAC3. There was no audible difference in my modest setup. |
