| Qobuz on Bluesound in the U.S.? Thanks, Bob. How is it sounding? | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment I can only assume that neither onhwy614 nor rodman99999 read the Stereophile piece that prompted me to start this thread and ask the questions I did. (link included above.) An excerpt: "I didn't get much sleep that night, owing to the lingering st... | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment Thanks for your responses, all -- Al, especially. As of now, I'll be keeping everything turned off until shortly before it's time to listen. Peace of mind is worth a lot. | |
| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 Back when I was on the equipment merry-go-round and was switching stuff in and out regularly, I found that I quite enjoyed the sound of a Wyred 4 Sound StP-SE preamp when paired with McCormack amplification. In fact, I sometimes think about return... | |
| Darko talks with Shiit Audio FUNNY FUNNY stuff. Very funny, indeed. Thanks for posting the link. And for your previous answer, too.-- Howard | |
| Darko talks with Shiit Audio FUNNY FUNNY stuff. I look forward to checking this out when I get a bit of time. First, though, a question: Do they mention plans to bring a transport to market? Here's hoping.-- Howard | |
| Quboz, any firm US launch date posted anywhere ? I read somewhere -- on these fora, perhaps? -- that someone out at RMAF had been told that the U.S. rollout would be coming in November. Tried to find this using the search function, but couldn't find anything. Thus, I'd suggest taking my post wit... | |

| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! If the prices in the linked article are correct, Qobuz is going to cost less than what had been previously reported. It would be just $5 more per month than Tidal, or just $10 more for a full year if one pays upfront. Color me interested. Betcha l... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? Oopsie -- forgot to include the link to the Stereophile review I referenced above. It's here:https://www.stereophile.com/content/holoaudio-spring-kitsuné-tuned-edition-level-3-da-processor | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? You may (or may not) find this recent piece from Stereophile's Herb Reichart of interest. (On Page 2, there's a bit about Mytek and Schiit DACs.)-- Howard | |
| Grammatical Errors in Recorded Music... There's a difference, I'd suggest, between plain old bad writing -- like the bit by The Doors I cited above -- and something done for effect. No one hearing Dylan sing "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more" would be led to believe by the do... | |
| Grammatical Errors in Recorded Music... From "L.A. Woman" by The Doors, there's this howler:"If they say I never loved youYou know they are a liar"Even when I was a kid this one made me shake my head-- Howard. | |
| Using an LG V30 smartphone as a source component Isn't it funny that we're having this discussion about an LG phone rather than an iPhone? We're having it, of course, because Apple has been standing still while others work to push forward.Here was Steve Jobs, quoted in Walter Isaacson's biograph... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn vs manhattan There's a dealer that advertises on Audiogon offering a 45-day trial period (and free shipping) on Mytek products. Here's a link to one such ad:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8i867-new-mytek-brooklyn-dac-mqa-dac-head-amp-preamp-phono-free...... |
