You really nailed it. I live at the beach and we got our whole house generator to support or home during long outages as a results of a, you guessed it Hurricanes. And listening to music is the not a top priority, we need news, power in general...

Volume control can be used even for digital output. However, for volume-controlled digital output, DSD will be converted to PCM first. If you care about digital volume, you really should get the Lumin T2, due to our Leedh Processing Volume...

I have a whole house generator also, but no need for audio at that level if we’re living off a generator for an extended period of time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ive' enjoyed it as well. I've got the 1988 LP . RCA – 8568-1-R

Getting close to the end with this project. I sprayed the final coats of lacquer yesterday afternoon and I will start putting the pedestals together today. I set up some of my rolling staging with 12' long pipes from clamps to hang the 6 leg...

with this thread for new context, had a listen last night and was able to better understand the attraction of this album ...for me its the material and especially the interpretation that i like. also, some nice pedal steel playing which is...

I read Fremer's article as well and got a big in my stomach as I had just ordered a big Kohler backup generator! Given that we all (mostly all) believe that power cords, outlets, dedicated lines, etc make a sonic difference, it stands to reason...

Something I think AP and Mofi will need to figure out at some point is where do we go now? I mean ... at some point there aren’t going to be that many analog tapes left to remaster unfortunately and/or the younger generation simply won’t care enough...

Thanks all of you for your advices Wyklie, I want to ask you if de volume control does it work when using an external DAC, because it’s very usefull for mi. I found DSD more clear and I listen to the files in that way. l’m still waiting for the...

A very warm welcome to Audioshark Emmett. A great sounding audio room takes quite a commitment in terms of time and money. I know this to be true because I’ve built a couple of audio rooms and written about the experience here. The good news...

Welcome to the Forum

As you may expect, I'd recommend you get the T2 if you are pleased with its SQ. It also supports DSD512, and full MQA decoding to analog output. If you choose to use an external DAC with the D2 BNC output and care about playing DSD64, please...

Glad to hear that! Cheers, Bernard

Mike...you should it out. Mikey is, as I always find him, a very entertaining and interesting orator.

Nice system. Enjoy

I have tried in front, etc. I seem to really like them in this location. They do what they need to do, give really nice musical low end and keep themselves out of the way. Rythmik are simply a perfect match for Magnepan's!

How do those subs integrate with the Maggies tucked into the corners like that?

Finally cracked it open. Review here: The Berlin Philharmonic's Direct-to-Disc Bruckner Symphony #7 Box Set | Analog Planet

I was willing to give him the date error (he said 1999), but in '02 (when the Stones Abkco SACD's were released) the DSD layer was probably played on a Sony, Denon or Marantz player. I think Esoteric's first SACD player didn't arrive here until...

Welcome to to the forum. Looks like a great combination of equipment.

Are you suggesting an impossibility or fatal flaw in what he said?!

My advice is that you talk to professionals and/or companies that specialize in acoustics. Otherwise you are likely to get a whole bunch of opinions here (some contradictory I'm sure) from well intentioned folks who are not experts in the field.

Welcome to AS Emmett!

Welcome SRC666!

hi and welcome! are you planing on becoming a manufacture?

Can someone explain to me how Mikey listened to the SACD layer of Aftermath on a dcs stack in 2002?

MF is undoubtedly a "kook" in the same sense that all of us here are "kooks". He's also very likable and in my brief experiences with him at shows surprisingly open-minded about digital vs. analog, being much more concerned with the original...

I know Rob. That was a rhetorical question. People like to perpetuate myths.

its been exaggerated...youtube has blown up with millennials and Gen Z vloggers discussing music, LPs, unboxings of newly purchased gear etc. the hobby is far from dead.

Awesome! ^

I do like analogue, for the sound and old-fashionness of it. So I’m with Mikey, I do greatly enjoy his writings and insights. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I understand the point about originality of the initial issue, but I was bored out of my mind trying to listen to it. Definitely enjoy the un-original much more. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is this hobby dying again?

You and me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

has been removed lol. this hobby needs younger people than both of these guys to grow more.

certainly they are audiophile catnip no matter what format

Thanks Mike. Having listened to that ramble, I'm not sure which of those 2 talks the most BS.

"Video unavailable This video has been removed by the uploader" Why is this? I'd like to view it as I am not a PMcG fan. Thanks

for crying out loud mep, get a grip, it was said in jest !! thus my last sentence to which you quoted !! as for yours and Mickeys belief that analog sounds better, not all of it !! Regardless, he's a KOOK !!

Agree 100% that what MF says in the video makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I’m dead serious. When the history is written about how analog refused to die after the birth of CDs, MF played a key role in educating audiophiles on why analog sounds better and fought to keep LPs alive. MF has a good sense of humor, but...
