    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    Well, sort of. A long time ago there was a reviewer at TAS named Enid Lumley. One of her things was that for the best sound the listener needed to be naked.

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    From following along with your previous posts I’m not sure why you’re invoking the pharmaceutical industry in support of your views. They are after all, the epitome of double blind testing. The use of the drug being tested vs. placebos is at the heart of their research.

    Does DSP belong in State of the Art Systems?

    I use convolution filters created for me by Mitch Barnett. They are of course software based so there are no additional chipsets involved. They are in the system before the DAC, not after.

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    I’m aware of that. I’ve bought quite a bit of music directly from Qobuz. I doubt that I have more than 10 or 15 Qobuz albums in my library at any one time. If I like it I buy it and then delete the online version from my library.

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    It doesn’t. I only use Qobuz to audition new music. If I find something I’m interested in I buy it.

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    I’ve followed this thread from the beginning and I’m not sure exactly what everyone is considering “streaming”. I’m pretty sure everyone considers listening to Qobuz streaming but what about locally sourced files? I have over 1,000 CDs that have been in a disk tray exactly once. When I play...

    My First HiFi Show Experience

    I hadn’t been to an audio show in quite some time so I went to the recent Audio Advice show in Raleigh. Without exception, no matter what equipment was being demonstrated, the two characteristics being promoted were how much bass was produced and how loud could it play. Not my cup of tea.

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    Is this the same thing or maybe a stripped down version. I know that Dutch & Dutch speakers are going to have the ability to use this plugin built into the speakers. https://shop.bacch.com/products/ubacch-audio-plug-in

    Lenbrook Acquires MQA!

    Evangelist noun evan·ge·list : an enthusiastic advocate an evangelist for physical fitness I’m not sure why you took offense at my use of the term, that wasn’t my intention. In fact, Guy Kawasaki used to wear the title of Apple Evangelist as a badge of honor when he was promoting Apple many...

    Lenbrook Acquires MQA!

    Apple Music does have an API and can be integrated into other services. However, it does not supply all of the information including data dumps that Roon requires to fully implement their experience. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi

    Lenbrook Acquires MQA!

    Do we really have to do this again? Can’t you just drop it? You’ve been an MQA evangelist since the beginning, we get that. No one is going to change your mind and you aren’t going to change theirs. You’’re excited because someone showed up to beat the dead horse. How about if we all just move on?

    Anyone else find video reviews annoying?

    Like a number of previous posters here I prefer to read reviews while I listen to my system. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a single review of an audio product. One thing I’ve been doing with written reviews for some time is having a reviewer saying he played such and such a song and...
