| I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it. Hats off to Alessandro who patiently worked with me and found a workaround to the initial sign on issues I was having. Took a few days and a few emails but in the end I’m on and it works! I’m enjoying my first Playlist on Qobuz. Thanks Alessandro!... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis I choose my cables based on color. | |
| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? I don't turn off any of my SS equipment unless there's a lightening storm or if I'm away from home for a few days. | |

| Break In Question? @mahler123 There are quite a few components that my brain never adjusted to after break-in. I got rid of them. | |
| 2 channel vs headphones I do very much enjoy the fidelity of my portable headphone rig and while its not super high end, its highly detailed and involving. But the sound of headphones can’t replace the 2 channel system in involvement. When my sub pressurizes the room and... | |
| To DDC or not to DDC. That is the question. @audphile1 I have to say thank you for reminding me I have a CD Player!! I’ve been listening to and rediscovering my CDs over the past couple weeks and the Merason DAC1 has given them a new life. And I have well over 1000 of them collecting dust!! | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? So now I gotta buy a Mac and run all my music through it??? | |
| Favorite Pink Floyd Album ANIMALS. 2u/2u | |
| AC power cables that are not rigid? One comment on the Shunyata Taipan Alpha cables. While amazingly light and flexible they are only flexible in certain directions. Something about their coverings allows twisting in one direction but not so much in all directions.... | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? @audio-b-dog You and me both brother!!! Fortunately, I have a few audiophile buddies that my wife likes so at least my madness is supported!! All she can do is roll her eyes because my hobby allowance is sacred and indisputable!!! | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? Excellent point. Can I enjoy my Streamer and CD Player? Absolutely!! And to Audphile1's point. A poor quality pressing on vinyl may NOT sound as good as what is available on streaming. | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? Yeah, see I will never be able to afford a BAT Rex 3. I need that level of SQ to be available at around $2K LOL. | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? Agreed, there are no absolutes. Digital CAN sound incredible but as good as vinyl is going to be a very subjective call. I have yet to hear it but I accept that I haven't heard ultra $$$$ systems. I guess I'm talking about being able to get "analo... | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? @ghdprentice Oh I know the choicest vinyl pressings are never going to be dirt cheap. They just keep going up. Finding them for "less" is part of the enjoyment for me. I was referring to waiting for digital tech to catch up to analog and for it t... |
