| More expensive = better? Ah I understand | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Metallica-Tidal MQA | |
| More expensive = better? @mahgister stunned by general ignorance? | |
| More expensive = better? What's your definition of "jaw dropping"? Let's be honest - humans are emotional beings. In general items cost more only if folks are willing to pay the higher price. Are there $5k integrated amplifies that sound better than an $8k integrated a... | |
| New to hifi... question about Lumin T2 and Roon Congrats! Roon technology is very user friendly I agree with @tuberist And regarding bass there's a few things to consider. Roon has equalization capabilities - check to see if they were unknowingly applied Speaker placement can dramatic... | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! I can't speak for anyone on this forum except myself. Do I have problems? Yes I do. And I also have a system where I can play Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and feel a little bit better because of music. And I can play many other songs since I have a s... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room I think you are in a sweet spot for many excellent options. Do you want to use a sub? (or two)? I like Sonus faber - I'm on my third pair and suggest you listen to Sonetto Vs. Also there are some excellent speakers like DeVore and som many othe... | |
| How much gear do you own? @tablejockey I love your sentiment! You can't take it with you - but you can make sure it is directed to a good home! | |
| New streamer or dac? @bikeboy52 What’s your budget? I built an analog system then tried digital and enjoy the convenience. I started with the Node 2i And when I upgraded I looked at streamer/dac versus separates and I’ve seen significant improvement from the Node 2... | |
| How much gear do you own? Not really, I have lots of cables - digital optical, digital coaxial, balanced, HDMI and I don't have my tape deck hooked up. I generally get rid of things I don't use - my exception has been music media (LPs and cassettes, thought I burned the C... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond I readily admit - I enjoy the listening versus the upgrading of the system and the pieces and that isn't conducive to finding the best option available :) Enjoy the journey - I attended a virtual meeting with VPI this fall and can defin... | |
| TT Recommendation Find a place to audition the turntables. I have a Rega P8 with the Ania cartridge and I am very pleased with the sound. Easy to set up too. There's a lot of good options and be realistic with how much you like or dislike setting up and tweaking... | |
| MCINTOSH MC601 VERSUS PASS LABS X350.8 My question is can you audition? And then if so, how does it sound to you? I had a C2600 and MC302 pre/amp section and my initial plan was to buy the MC462 to get more power. Over the last few years, I’ve heard impressive amps from Audio Researc... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? @Op I applied this approach initially with the Node 2i and I do not notice any obvious difference between music on my PLEX Server- WD PR2100 - versus IDAL on my streamer DAC. My server with PLEX installed is connected into my router via ethernet... | |
| Comparing Speaker Cables I'm a bit fan of testing speaker cables. I tested Canare 4S11 vs Rocket 33s vs Kimber 12TCs. I liked the Canare 4S11 - there was mudiness in comparison with the Rocket 33s and there was harshness in treble at times for the 12TCs. Ultimately, I ... |
