| I, Tonya Soundtrack agree on the soundtrack--thought the movie was great as well | |
| Marantz DV6400 vs...? good deal | |
| Spotify goes public. What will it mean for music lovers? i tend to agree with willemj---based on demand (and tidal's apparently very shaky status) i don't see they have much incentive to get into hirez. the larger question to me is whether spotify can ever make real money--subscribers are very cost-sens... | |
| Marantz DV6400 vs...? i believe on the marantz that sacd is only played thru the 5.1 connections, not the regular 2 ch output, so your player is probably playing just the regular cd layer of your sacds--try the 5.1 connection and see if it makes a difference. | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? i've only heard their airmotiv bookshelf model, which i believe has the same tweeter--they were bright and energetic but very detailed and very good value, if not as audiophile refined/neutral as pricier stuff. i do note that for whatever reason e... | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations for 70s stuff i'm partial to pioneer (sa9100, sa9800) and kenwood (krxx00, kaxx00). if you dip into the early 80s, i think tandberg (2055, 2075) and luxman (rx series) were more refined and sounded a little better, with particulaqrly good tuners a... | |
| Anyone streaming at 320kbps? If so... i use 320kb spotify after auditioning tidal--tidal sounds better, though the difference was not so huge as to trascend spotify's superior library, interface, etc. + lower price. in my home systems i'm streaming from my phone through a chromecast ... | |
| What Do You Think Of This? from long experience i agree with the take-your-lumps-and-move-on advice. if in fact your buyer is an unreasonable schmuck, he'll remain so notwithstanding your fretting and fuming about the injustice of it all, and all you'll do is get more agita... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i literally haven't listened to climax blues band in 30+ years, but was tweaked by the above to give 'em a listen--a few of their songs (rich man, couldn't get it right) are still insinuated in my brain, which i suppose is the sign of good music. | |
| What's your thought on that good deal--enjoy | |
| What's your thought on that if your tablet does wifi, get a google chromecast audio, which sounds significantly better than bluetooth, esp. if you use an external dac | |
| CD Player used as transport i was surprised to find much more audible difference between different transports than between different (mid-tier dacs). i will leave to the experts whether it's due to different circuitry, jitter or other technicalia, but the differences can be ... | |
| Nad M3 non repairable i've always called 'em Not Again, Damnit--their reputation for unreliability and bafflingly unresponsive customer service is richly deserved. Virtually every time I pick up a NAD piece it misfunctions, usually in some small but hugely annoying way... | |
| Most overrated bands roberjerman, i don't wholly disagree about the stones. although they still could crank out the odd great song thru the early 80s, some girls was their last essential album, and even some girls did not match their beggars banquet/sticky fingers/exi... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers i agree with the foregoing sentiments (which makes me re-think why i'm posting...). more watts, as opposed to higher-quality watts, won't really help. your yamaha seems like a good match for your speakers; you seem to enjoy it and i'd be inclined ... |
