| Qobuz still messed up It takes around 1 to 2 seconds to press play from Roon to play a Qobuz selection or to skip to the next track. | |
| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? Why would you want any audio magazine reviewer evaluate your system? You do know, they NEVER have anything bad to say about any gear they are reviewing. Plus, I’ve been to the same CES rooms/RMAF rooms/Tampa audio show rooms where they claimed X s... | |
| New speakers or new car? " Take Magico. Their production is highly specialized, involving in-house CNC machining of aluminum enclosures, which limits output to a relatively small number of units, focusing on precision over high-volume manufacturing. The company is locat... | |
| Focal, Naim Acquired Why would anybody buy these 2 companies, they must not have heard their terrible sounding divas or their new mezza speakers! Or maybe they have and they want to reengineer them for better sound. Yes yes I’ve heard both, and yes, if they cost $10k,... | |
| The muddy waters of Analogue vs. digital today This post makes no sense. How can somebody buy inexpensive/low fi equipment and think this is the best sounding format? When I had a vintage l setup, my cables cost more than this OP total vinyl rig. Who listens with cd players? I sold my top of t... | |
| Magazine Ethics - TAS I'm glad Jay called these reviewers/audio magazines out on his multiple YT videos. I've subscribed to all of these for decades and they have been useless for almost as long. Bottomline, all they are are are an extension of the manufacturer to prom... | |
| Dang it… cables do matter (at least in my system) On another site: ANA, these clowns are mostly cable naysayers even when they haven’t listened to the cable, if it costs more than $25, you wasted your money and you listened to snake oil. Quite a few of these naysayers thought the blue jeans cable... | |
| Speaker Cable Length If it was me, place the amp between your speakers in the middle on an amp stand. Your 8’ cables should work then. If you are moving the rest of your equipment off to the side, you can run a longer pair of balanced interconnects to the amp. The ru... | |
| recommendation You should find out what caused this because you hook another pair of speakers, it could damage these too. Usually points to an amp issue or you played them too loud and you started clipping. Also, nobody can give you advice on what to get until ... | |
| Insurance In 1978 when I bought my 1st house, several insurance companies would not insure me because my audio system cost/value was over a certain % of the house cost, no riders either. | |
| 8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC $50k for something is nothing in the scheme of things. I have a new car that far surpasses $50k and it’s worth every cent. I also have what I want in an audio system that cost a lot. A decent car these days will cost you a lot more than $50k. A n... | |
| REL Price Increase Some of you don’t know economics or supply and demand. We were in a recession in 2022 when everything skyrocketed by double digit %, your stock portfolio was probably Dow 35-40%, but I don’t see anybody saying this was bad. Gas was over $5 a gallo... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life This is pretty basic stuff. The OP wants to convince everybody that you can buy a $500 amp but put a $10 worth of isolation feet on it, it will perform like the $60,000 amp. You know this isn’t possible. Most of the experience audio people know th... | |
| What exactly is ROON? hgeifman - a couple things. Your description can also be said about Roon and Pure Music which I’ve used for many years. Audirvana gui sucks to put it bluntly. Audirvana might sound a little bit bit better today but Roon might make a change and it... | |
| Focal Diva Utopia active speakers less than impressive. Wswright20- I agree with you. In my 2nd/3rd system, I have an integrated amp that has all the streaming options that anybody would want that cost $4000, plus analog in, and is Roon ready. I have $1000 in cables and $5000 in speakers that blow away... |
