| Is there a way to improve the sound? I use Tidal too. | |
| Is there a way to improve the sound? You can get good sound from digital if you use uncompressed file formats. The problem with WAV files is there is no Metadata (track name etc.). FLAC is uncompressed and maintains the Metadata so I would recommend FLAC. Use Dbpoweramp or Exact Audi... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? PSAnother idea. You need to play music that your guest likes. I've found with my children that the starting place is their music (even if I don't like it), but I have to have a way to get uncompressed files of their music (or the session is useles... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I think you have to gauge the situation and the people. Don't forget that there are lots of folks who simply can't hear what you hear and so they can't be immersed in listening. Even if you sat them down, told them to be quiet and listen they won'... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? hm1Yep totally out of my mind. Sometimes I think I'm a vegetable and I'm just looking to waste my green on all things stupid. It's apparent that I'm not nearly as smart as you are and I certainly don't have your experience. Or, it may be that I'm ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Thanks Ctsooner. I will go up there and take a look. I got two monoblocks from them awhile ago (sight and sound unseen and unheard) - of course I don't think I can afford new Vandersteens I'd want (i.e. Model VII - $62,000 list) and, if I can, I'd... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? The room is crucial. Fortunately I have a really good room (once I resolve an issue with the floor joists - I have to run a beam in order to cut the span in half and stiffen the floor). So I really suppose the question then is independent of room ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? "Tooks" let's try "took" a great hit. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Man! Thanks for all the input! I'm planning on listening to several of the speakers mentioned (Wilson, Vandersteen) and I've had several of the others. It's interesting how upstream components and the room have incredible effects on speakers etc. ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? A broken ankle and a ruptured Achilles tendon have slowed this project to a crawl (no pun intended). So it may be awhile. I do know that I have to go to a few conventions and certain stores in Atlanta. We will see what develops out of this. Thank ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Here's to PS:OK, I've been planning to respond to a bunch of the responses before this one (with mostly "thanks" and noting the good advice), but his/her last post is mildly offensive on many levels. So "thanks" to the thoughtful recommendations y... | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? For the price the Oppo is a fantastic player. I own one (actually two) and some other players/DAC (higher-end stuff). When I do A/B tests I am always pleasantly surprised at the performance of the Oppo. The price-performance ratio is great. It wil... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Audiotomb, my amps are SS 600 watt mono blocks. Suffice to say they are matched well to my current speakers and are of sufficient power to drive anything. My pre-amp is a tube. I don't want to mention a brand lest the brand critics muster themselv... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Al, this is what Cardas has to say about the golden cuboid (yes I left the word "golden" off earlier - saving time):"The Golden Cuboid listening room is 10β x 16β x 26β (Read 10.000 x 16.18033989... x 26.18033989...Itβs dimensions differ in a Gold... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Tubegroover, you've got it right. I can handle banter, but it's the Jerry Springer shout downs that chill the environment: I'm right!!!! And you can't be!!!! On both sides. Although I do think the McIntosh advocates are somewhat demure in their de... |
