| Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost? I keep trying Audirvana but going back to BitPerfect. Cheap and effective. | |
| Converting ALAC to .wav Thank you, Erik. I have always appreciated your comments and advice. And Steve’s as well. Since I have an Apple-centric house I could replace the MacMini since it is starting to hiccup or go PC. I do have Apple TVs, iPads, iPhones. Steve has propo... | |
| Converting ALAC to .wav Thanks! I was hoping Steve would chime in. Do I transfer all the music over to the new drives first and then convert? Is there a preferred hard drive? My DAC is the OPPO Sonica. Is there a preferred method to use Ethernet to go into this DAC wh... | |
| Free SPL Meter App - From a US Government Agency Thanks for the link! I’ll compare it to my trusty Radio Shack. | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? It might be worthwhile to toe in or toe out the speakers depending on its on and off axis high frequency dispersion, in addition to taking reflections. And, it costs nothing. To achieve tone controls with cables is unicorn hunting. | |
| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright I had the same experience with Dan. Excellent service on my pre-amp. Accessible and a joy to work with. | |
| NAD C658 DAC vs TEAC NT 505 I have the TEAC 503 DAC in one system. I like the sound. I have a Sonica DAC in a different system and like the sound. Completely different. The ESS is very precise and analytical. Very very detailed. The AKM is sweet and tube like. So it depends ... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I think Emotiva equipment is excellent. If you don’t have $20K+ speakers you can’t tell the difference. Maybe not even then. Don’t get me started on ABX experiments. Sources and speakers far outweight any amp. Buy them. Try them. Send them back if... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I really appreciate the original thread and the responses. To me flat means I didn’t change the signal to suit my ears. When I perceive the tonal balance is off, I assume the studio engineer wanted something different than what I prefer. Conversel... | |
| Felt diffraction reduction advise I have a question. If the creator of the speaker thought it needed felt, wouldn’t he or she have included it? It’s cheap and easy to apply. Or would it be added to change the highs in a unique situation? | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? The Doors. Stolen. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers Von Schweikert VR-1 | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Pure i20 dock. I have two but they are starting to fail. My entire library is backed up to ipod classics. | |
| Suggestions for Class D amplifiers with Marantz AV7704 and B&W cdm9nt combo for HT. I still love my Wyred4sound SX-500 monos feeding Von Schweikert Speakers. Detailed with natural voices and solid bass, at least in my room. | |
| Radio Paradise in FLAC I’m a big fan. Listen almost every day while working at home. |
