| Looking for a portable player-decent but not crazy $$ A used Pono would be the ticket - I use one primarily in the car but was on a plane awhile back listening to the Pono and the battery died(you'll need an Anker USB charger) so I switched to running my phone(FLAC files on the Onkyo HF player) with ... | |
| Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000 The new KEF R3's seem to really like Yamaha amplification - the bottom end is respectable but they are still bookshelves though. Definitely worth having a listen and a big step up from the LS50. | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I can't think of a worse place to start to find good music.Some good suggestions here for sure - Gillian Welch, Sarah Jarosz, Wood Brothers, Barr Brothers(more Canadiana maybe?), Jason Isbell, Kasy and Clayton, I'm With Her etc If you like the gen... | |
| Percentage of mp3 vs FLAC on Tidal? The source that I'm using is a Squeezebox Touch - I did find some information stating that when Ickstream was being used the app would indicate that a file was an MP3 incorrectly when it was really FLAC coming through - I'm using the newer Tidal a... | |
| Percentage of mp3 vs FLAC on Tidal? Hmmm - not sure what is happening here - I'm 100% on Tidal HiFi. There is a streaming quality setting in the squeezebox server that says either "MP3 or FLAC or MP3" but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason as to why I'm getting one forma... | |
| Percentage of mp3 vs FLAC on Tidal? Definitely premium I'm paying $20 Canadian a month - try The National - Cherry Tree let me know what it reads for you... | |
| Bruce Cockburn - dancing in the dragons claws great listen! There is a half speed mastered version of this CBS I believe probably the best sounding record I own - sound quality and music are both amazing... | |
| Parasound Halo JC 3 vs Whest PS .30R for the Lyra Delos I am running a Delos into a JC3 on my Rega RP10 and it's incredibly clean and quiet sounding no hiss or hum at all.This combo running into my LFD NCSE pretty well has me off the merry go round I've been happily just enjoying the music for quite a ... | |
| Tidal now on Squeezebox, no need for Ickstream Thanks- tried it this morning and it worked great, this evening no luck- will try and delete and start over I guess... | |
| Which BNC-BNC coaxial The Black Cat Silverstar 75 would be an excellent choice and has bnc on both ends. | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Yes definitely depends on your speaker choice, room etc but the LFD NCSE is worthy of consideration in this price range. It's a sweet piece and one I have not considered changing since I received it. | |
| Phono Preamp price range $2000-$4000 My JC3 is uber quiet FWIW, lots of other excellent suggestions in here but I wouldn't rule the JC3 out based on noise. | |
| TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO... Soundscapes on College is a great CD shop.Sonic Boom on Bathurst is great as well, haven't been to their new location but the old one was impressive.Rotate This on Queen West is great for records.Both Soundscapes and Rotate this sell tickets to sh... | |
| Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard Shahinians are made in NY state I believe, they don't come up used much but they are still being made as far as I know.They definitely have a following in Europe, I would love to hear a pair at some point. | |
| Metrum Octave and 192khz? I was sure mine did as I downloaded a sample and it played (sounded warbled but there was sound), then I grabbed some music and it also sounded warbled and was clearly not what I downoaded so no, apparently mine does not.I did read somewhere that ... |
