| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? Just a follow up on the iFi iDSD pro. Sounded great for a few seconds then shut down and wouldn't come back up. Back it goes.So frustrating. | |
| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? The Lumin series are a contender. I'm also trying out the iFi Pro iDSD in my home. | |
| Lumin and roon Lumin is made to use with Minimserver, according to their site. Do you like classical music? Minimserver is hands-down the best way to organize a large classical collection, although you have to invest the time to tag your files. Once tagged, it ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series 1. MusicThe music I brought was part high-res and part Redbook CD rips (to FLAC), all things that I think sound good on all my own systems. More importantly, I know how they sound on other systems that I own or am auditioning. Finally, it’s all my... | |
| Lumin vs Auralic I don't really know both brands, but Lumin's system is optimized to work with Minimserver, which is far and away the best music server system for classical music (and is donation-ware!). So if you have a large classical collection on a server, li... | |
| Paradigm Persona series (this is part of a larger post from another thread, but relevant to Paradigm 3F)I found the resolution and soundstage of the Paradigms to be extraordinary. You can hear the wood of the solo viola, and the movement of cymbals when struck, the voi... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers (I posted this same comment in an older, Paradigm-related thread)I want to thank Dave from Audio Doctor ("Audiotroy") for letting me listen to KEFs (3R) and Paradigms (Persona 3f) last night, mostly with the Naim Uniti Nova DAC/amp. There are... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II (This constitutes an update in my search for replacements for my beloved Thiels CS3.6)I want to thank Dave from Audio Doctor ("Audiotroy") for letting me listen to KEFs (3R) and Paradigms (Persona 3f) last night, mostly with the Naim Uniti Nova DA... | |
| adcom 5802 Ancient question, but I'm relatively new here. This is precisely the combination I've been listening to since 1994, and I've enjoyed a lot of different music with it. It's certainly a neutral presentation, but I always find myself getting more a... | |
| The Science of Cables A quick meta-study of all those blind tests in the link above suggests the following:1. It seems like a marginally dispositive group of people could distinguish and prefer lamp wire (and jumper cables!) from purpose-built audio cable.2. in A/B tes... | |

| The Science of Cables I suspect this has been linked here before, but blind tests have rarely supported the idea that people can hear the difference. | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers I listened to the Wilson Sabrinas this weekend with the higher end Naim Uniti integrated (courtesy of Innovative Audio in NYC). This time I spent a very happy and involved hour going through my demo tracks and then a bunch of stuff on Tidal. It w... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers I'm in touch with a NYC shop called anologique that seems to have been around for a while. A few nightmare reviews on Yelp, but some good ones too. Open to suggestions. I'm getting an estimate to move my speakers down there next week #NYCapartm... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers I'm not very technical, but here's ATC's claim: " Active filters allow independent control of level and phase(time). This is not possible with passive crossovers. With a passive crossover any changes you make to the circuit affect both level ... |
