| Should I trust movers with my equipment? Thanks. I'll see if they do long distance moves. I appreciate the info. | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? Thanks again for the definitive answer. | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? It's odd how most of my eqpt. has done just fine with UPS/FedEx/DHL, but moving companies manage to damage things. I was hoping moving companies would be at least as good as the major brand name shippers.Why is this? Why should movers treat you wo... | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? That's scary. I have moved several times (even long distance cross-country, but not recently) and never had anything lost. But thanks. Maybe things have changed for the worse... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson So sad. What a great man. | |
| Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss Should I be switching to the latest 3.30 (June 2016) firmware for my XDS1-V2 (that I had upgraded from my V1)?(This vs. the older Feb. 2014 version 2.20?) [Is this latest firmware for the XDS1/V2 or is it for another product like the new DACs?]Tha... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? I’m reviving this thread just to say that I *always* mention that SACD is the cure for digital glare that can often be the downfall of regular CD, even Hi-Rez files. SACD magically avoids it while at the same time enhancing resolution, especially ... | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? Has anyone ever had a solid state drive fail? I've had about 10 over the past 7-8 years and never had a failure. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Has anyone tried the Ayre with headphones directly or through the analog outputs into a high-end headphone amp? Thanks. | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Actually, on some of my old Time/Life CDs, after I ripped them using Jriver to my solid state hard drives, strange things happened. Jriver said some files were unplayable, sometimes not at first, but after they were on my drives for a while. Some... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment I could be absolutely blind. Any glare that is in vocals from PCM that keeps me from turning it up is GONE. The bass is solid as a rock, much more solid than PCM. I have many things that are unlistenable in the first 5 seconds on PCM that are fin... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment SACD of things like the Stones, Doors, Carly Simon, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac and the like is so much better than redbook or even hi-res downloads it’s not funny. It’s awesome and I’m greatful whenever a new SACD is released, something far too ra... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? As for streaming, the problem is far-too-often a track is a non-original strange re-recording because of a copyright issue. Even worse, it’s often not even flagged as being non-original. This is extremely annoying and frustrating if you like popul... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? I have hundreds of CDs purchased new from 1986 to 1989 (I know because I made a big list in 1990) and with a rare exception they all play and sound just fine. I don’t know where the data or experiments on this idea that CDs wear out is coming from... | |
| Dac to remove Digital Glare/ edge Chord Hugo TT. A bit on the dark side but beautifully so.Beautifully dark is the best way to put it. Great for rock/pop/shrillness in vocals or upper mids in general, but still full of life and addictive. |
